TGIW
So, the turkey brined away happily in its little bag of brine and herbs last night, surrounded by ice in my nice plastic Kmart tub on the terrace. This morning I rinsed it, and it's peacefully air drying (for the crispy skin, you know) in the refrigerator. There is NO room for anything else in the refrigerator. I think I can take out the pecan pie tonight though -- pecan pie doesn't need to be refrigerated, does it? And I need room for my sweet potatoes!
My parents are arriving this afternoon - weather permitting, which is exciting, because I haven't seen them since August. And they haven't seen our apartment since we moved in. My mom came to visit for a conference in April, and saw the space without any furniture in it, and met the dog, but my dad hasn't seen it or the dog! So that should be fun.
The apartment is clean but not as sparkling as I would like, due, in part to the fact that it's an oldish building and the countertops are stained beyond repair. Ah well, it should still meet the mom test.
Will this day never end?
