This was our first Thanksgiving IN THE HOUSE. This oven and I are still getting to know each other, so some dishes came out better than others. Some pies came out better than other pies. The turkey took longer than expected. Still, not too shabby for a couple of sickies.
Yesterday, I just slept and sat on my arse for most of the day. Too sick to do anything else. Today, I watched a movie and finished carving the turkey – right now, I am making turkey stock for soup and replacement gravy.
Oh, the gravy! Sonnets should be written about this gravy. You would give me your firstborn child for this gravy. But you can keep it, because I would not want a kid instead of this gravy.
Tomorrow, I will bake some bread and make some turkey soup. Tom will put up Xmas lights. I will feel better (?) or possible get overwhelmed about Xmas prep and how I should have finished gifts a month ago. But the good news, no matter how you slice it, is that now I can listen to Christmas Music every single day and only the Jews I work for will complain.
Ha ha!

Turkey soup! I have to make some of that too. We have so much turkey leftover that it will never be eaten if I don’t do something with it.

It is all about the Xmas music, from here on out.
