I haven't told this one on myself (I don't think). My first trip on the boat I am on now was Thanksgiving. I was so excited to be on such a nice boat with such a great crew that I really wanted to knock their socks off with my Thanksgiving meal. I worked on it for weeks, baking my cornbread for the dressing, crumbeling it and freezing it, cutting up all my seasonings, baking the deserts and just going all out.

I had forgot that out there, days just run into each other and it is hard to know what day it is if you don't mark them off on a calander and I hadn't been marking them off..

What I ended up doing was serving our Thanksgiving meal on the day BEFORE Thanksgiving.. I was so embarrassed but they did not care one bit. I did serve the left overs Thanksgiving day with whatever I cooked for that day.

I am due to work this Thanksgiving and that will mark my 8th year on the JMD so it will be a special trip for me.
