shaky start, happy ending
I am thankful:
…for a twenty-three pound free turkey, even though I wasn’t sure it
would get cooked through on time so that Greyfox would get to eat
some. When he got here and learned that dinner might be delayed,
he was prepared to make do with “all the trimmin’s” and pass on the
turkey to ensure his having a safer drive home in the snow.…for The Joy of Cooking where I found a faster method than the one on
the turkey label, and a meat thermometer that assured me the bird was
safe to eat a couple hours sooner than the suggested cooking time.…that Greyfox not only came for dinner, but brought cat food and
groceries, and a DVD full of raucous laughter for Doug and me.…that even though the roof that Doug and I repaired this summer
started leaking during the night last night as the recent snowfall
melted up there, it is only leaking in a couple of places.…that as soon as Doug finished his Thanksgiving dinner, he headed for
the roof to, “get some of that snow shoveled off before the tryptophan
kicks in.”I haven’t had my after-dinner coffee and pie yet. I’ll have
pumpkin pie this time, after dinner settles and there’s a fresh pot of
coffee made. Doug and I both had peach pie for breakfast, and
Greyfox took a slice of peach with him in his
portable-feast-in-a-bag. This leaves almost a whole pumpkin pie,
minus only the thin slice I cut last night just to make sure it was
edible.

I’m very glad it all turned out.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving SuSu!!!
I’m so glad the turkey came out okay… I read your post this morning and was hoping it would be okay.
It sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving… enjoy your pie (I just scarfed down a turkey leg and a piece of apple pie before I go to bed
)!
Awe Kathy – I was worried so this is great news!
I know you like funny stuff…have you heard of Dane Cook? if not, you should check his stuff out online…he makes me laugh
we all need to laugh
Kathy – thank you – for being you
Sounds like a good time was had by all.
Unfortunately now I’m beginning to feel the tryptophan effect… *yawn*
:goodjob: Thanksgiving is always nice to share! :heartbeat:
I hope you’re using a plastic shovel up there this year.
glad it all ended well,,,,,
Sounds like a good Thanksgiving for you. I’m glad, and hope the holidays continue to treat you well.
mmmmm pie.
Thanksgiving was tough, but made it thru. All is well with my little world right now,, how bout you?
Is it just me, or is a 23 pound turkey much better when it’s free?
hmm our roof is leaking as well…silly basic human needs.. warmth.. who needs it.. we keep fixing it.. obviously wrong!
glad you had a good day!
Glad to read your Thanksgiving turned out well! We took home leftovers from our relatives that we planned on eating for ther next couple of days. We ate them all last night
. Figures. At least we still have some of the delicious (and very bad for me) lemon meringue pie that my husband’s mother made.
And I am thankful for so much. Including meeting you a few years ago. As I’ve said to my friends, family, and husband MANY times…”Following her advice had me feeling better in TWO WEEKS…and it was a hell of alot more than the doctors did for me in SIX MONTHS.”
So thank you. You had a rather large hand in “helping me to deal”, and I’m really glad you had a good Thanksgiving. :love:
Yes, the cook must sample the food to make sure it’s edible !!! It’s a rule in our house. Happy Thanksgiving.
I’ll add you to the list. I didn’t realize you lived in Alaska. Wow. That’s alot of snow you got already!
