Thanksgiving Dinner in an Airstream!





I currently live in a 200 square foot Airstream travel trailer. It's nice; flat screen tube, surround sound, wireless Internet,so don't let the small size deter anyone from minimizing and going this route, at least temporarily. I don't plan on living in this pod forever, but while I do, I'm living large! I was not about to skip having a Christmas tree this year, and I didn't skip out on a big 'ol Thanksgiving dinner either. I even went against my own tastes and made an organic free range turkey for the meat eaters. It was a nasty job, but I managed my way through cleaning the carcase... ewwwwww, the neck bone, I totally gagged. I'm glad I'll probably only have to do that about once a year.
My counter space is about 1 foot wide. There are 3 burners on the stove, and the oven is a baby. Somehow it was still fun, and not too hard to pull off making a turkey, sweet potato casserole, homemade stuffing, rolls, and an apple salad. I won't bore you with the recipes, I know everyone has their own special family dishes, I just wanted to include some pics. :>
