I Like to Cook

But I'm ridiculously clumsy in the kitchen. I'm always dropping something or burning myself. Which is strange because I'm not like that while doing other tasks. Anyway!

I can't decide what sides to make with my thanksgiving dinner... So far I'm definitely making a Turkey, Ham and Stuffing. I'm torn between making either rice and gandules (I'm Puerto Rican, We make it for pretty much every holiday), Mac&Chz, Mashed Potatoes... A friend suggested making some sort of vegetable? I'm so indecisive. Help?

A sign of a messy kitchen while cooking is a sign of a good cook...what bout the traditional green bean casserole that's on the package of Durkee onions?..Those other 3 things all go good with dinner but I always do mashed potatoes and make the turkey gravy to go with. But it's up to your taste buds. I keep a bottle of chilled aloe vera in the fridge for them accidently burns...those things burn like crazy!

I love green beans, Will look into that! &aloe vera in the fridge, Don't know why I haven't thought of that. I constantly forget that the pans I take out of the oven are hot... I'm surprised I still have feeling in my fingertips.

Use the canned ones thou it taste better in the casserole than the frozen ones they call for.
