Not such a good start…
I was up until 2 AM, and figured that either a cooling woodstove or
full bladder would wake me in a few hours so I could get the bird into
the oven. I figured wrong.The phone woke me around 9:30, Greyfox calling to tell me…
something. He had hung up before I was really awake enough to
know what he was saying or what I said.The fire had gone out, so my first priority was to get it going
again. After that, I pulled the neck and giblets out of the
turkey, put them to boil while I diced the cornbread for the stuffing,
then I made stuffing, stuffed the turkey and got it into a preheated
oven by 10:30. It’s a big bird. It could take 7 hours to
cook. Greyfox had planned to have lunch here and start back home
around 3 PM so he’d be traveling in daylight.Now I have to go get dressed. I’ll probably be back here later with an update.

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving, and don’t wear yourself out so you can’t enjoy it! (((hugs))) to my favorite MatSu person
Sounds like me…
This morning I was awoken by my roommate making herself breakfast, but I decided to stay in bed. Then it hit me…
“I forgot the sour cream!”
And with that, I got myself out of bed, got dressed, put the potatoes to boil on the stove, went straight to the market across the street to pick up the stuff we were short on, and came back.
I can only imagine how big your bird is if it’s going to take 7 hours to cook. Good luck with that.
Have a wonderful thanksgiving.
