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

oh can an apartment ever really be clean enough? My MIL is the one I'm nervous about- their house is SO clean, and it's all beige and white which just shocks me. I wouldn't have a hope in hell of keeping a beige home clean.

Sounds like youre right on track- I'm spending today at work rearranging items in the fridge in my head to try to figure out how the heck to fit everything in there after cooking tonight. Definitely take the pie out. I need to remove a shelf to make the turkey fit, so I'm losing twice the space I should be- very bitter about that.

Ooh! I just realized I can put the turkey stock in the freezer, which frees up one bowl's worth of space. Excellent!

Yeah, I don't know if I could keep a beige house clean either. Or what about those people with white rugs? One of the things I LOVE about our apartment is that the floors in all of it except the bedroom are this poured concrete stone looking material which never ever shows dirt. Ever. And if I can't see it, I don't care about it.

yeah our carpet here is kind of tan and I'n not a fan of it- I'd rather have dark hardwood floors anyday.

When I was a baby we lived in SF and the older couple who lived up stairs apparently lived in an *entirely* white apartment. Couch, rugs, chairs, walls- everything. They had one very large, very colorful painting on the wall and they placed a large white lamp with a huge white lampshade right in front of it. They loved to have me come upstairs to visit and my mom said she was always terrified that I'd find some way tomake a colorful mess. So weird.

Ack! What is going on with LJ? I'm replying to Bre and it's going to KC? Grrr. Trying again.

Snarf. BTW -- you know that woman who asked about the tipsy tart on the WC? She's a friend of mine and she asked about it because I mentioned I was going to make it for thanksgiving. Hee! Small world.

Heee. Bre, I did the same thing yesterday -- rearranging the fridge in my head.

BTW, I'm friending you, too.

(It worked now. Weird.)

[bre_sarah]

friended you back. And replying to people in a string of replies is so stressful- I always goof it up!
