Turkey Day Half-Time
Current Stats
Me: Still no sleep. Got the kitchen under control. Lots of time. Took a walk with C-Man. Walked him in the stroller to the school and we played on the playground. My butt is dirty from the slide. Hard to run with that stroller, settled for brisk walk. Roads were pretty deserted, drivers were being nice and stopping to let us cross road. Could smell turkeys roasting and smoking all the way back. No smell of pie though. Need bath. Talked to Trini, UH football tomorrow nite at my house. Need to clean when I get home.
C-Man: Wide awake- dressed, eaten so far half a Krispy Kreme donut, 2 slices of apple, pork sausage, corn bread, and a handful of craisins (can you tell he's been with me while I made the stuffing?).
Food:
Turkey: in smoker, turned, browning nicely, minimal droppings for gravy
Asst. turkey parts: pau, liver in stuffing, rest for dogs, liquid for gravy
Stuffing: In oven- finally decided on a recipe of french bread, cornbread, pork sausage, turkey liver, onion, celery, fresh rosemary, basil, parsley, an apple, craisins, and chicken stock. Eat that Stovetop man.
Green bean casserole: on standby.
Yams: baking
Green salad: on standby. Still need to wash greens (easy from Costco), add tomatoes, pears, cranberries, mushrooms. Still undecided about toasted pecans.
Coming up: beginning of the 3rd quarter, with the 4th quarter at Grandma's house. Ooops, I need to call her and make sure there's rice. Hmmm. No one's answering the phone.
Won't get to the rest of the game until probably tonite. Or maybe I'll get lucky and fall asleep...
Happy Turkey Day!
