Thanksgiving
So. I made Thanksgiving Dinner all on my onesies for my family yesterday. It went... remarkably well. And the turkey came out juuuuust right. I ended up NOT using Jamie to clean the turkey. I just needed him to get that goddamned stupid-ass hook out of it so I could open it up and clean it out. Cleaning it out took the longest, however, because I was so paranoid about cleaning the cavity, but after that, it was pretty good!
With a little call to the ever-helpful ixchelmala and flitzermusik, I was able to calm my mind on how to make fresh whipped cream because I didn't want to end up making sugary butter.
When the family sat down to eat, the talk was decent. Not a single argument, and Jamie absolutely INHALED the mac'n cheese. Seriously. That was TWO BOXES of mac'n cheese and he ate three-quarters of it.
And everyone liked the fresh whipped cream with their pies and everyone liked the turkey and I even managed to dare Jamie to try turkey with a bit of cranberry sauce and he didn't entirely hate it.
On the whole, Thanksgiving dinner turned out to be pleasant. I didn't even have to do the clean-up afterwards since my mother graciously did it for me so I could nap off the food.
Today, I'm at work for OT, but I'm leaving for a little bit at 11:30 so I can get to The Grove in a timely fashion with my macbook stored away in a goddamn smelly leather Dell laptop bag that had been shoved away into the darkest most disgusting corner of the downstairs closet. Seriously. The thing SMELLS. And it's a transferrable smell! I mean.. you shoulder this bag and it makes the side of you you set it against... smell! Smell like musty old yicky closet! UGH! We have GOT to febreze that closet to DEATH.
Well! I'll get to see ledbylove in her natural habitat. XD
