So Wednesday I stayed up the entire night cooking for Thursday. I did take a 2 hour nap in the recliner, which led to #2 of my turkey issues for the evening.
Issue #1 was that when my mother picked upthe bird for me, she did not get the kind with the timer poppy thing put in it. Hello- I didn't eat meat for years and it still is not a particular favorite- so what in the world makes you think I have a meat thermometer laying around? So, at 12:30 out I go to Ingles to get a meat thermometer. They had 4 left. Thank God!
Issue #2- we have a brand new range oven. Gorgeous stainless steel- love it. Anyways, so I set the timer for 2 hours so I could baste etc then continue cooking. A few minutes before the time was to go off, I sat down for my impromptu cat nap. Needless to say, the timer went off, cut off the oven, I slept til my cell phone alarm went off at 5:00 to awake to a half cooked turkey. :/
No prob though- 3 hours later turkey was perfect.
Thursday- 16 people came over to my house. I fed them all- fun was had by everyone.
Friday- too tired to shop. First time since I was 14 that I skipped it I think.
Today- shopped my butt off and have 95% of it done! YAY :)
I don't want to go to work Monday though lol I want it to be December and be my time off! :)
So how was your week?
