I am cooking everything way too early, but I just didn't want to sit around!!
Yeah, ditto. The real trick with Thanksgiving is getting everything to the table at the same time.
Fortunately I'm a basting fiend when it comes to the bird so it won't dry out.
I think you should shove some of that yumminess through the interpipes right here to B'more, is what I think.
I wish I could feed you! Come to my house and eat stuff! Then sit around in a daze and watch stuff.
mmm, Thanksgiving meal was delish. Just 4 of us, so not a ton of food. I only made the one pie, pumpkin and it was yum. We will be having leftover for supper tonight.
Now let's go Cowboys.
No, Cowboys, just kick back and relax.
OK, now I have a ghost in the kitchen. Twenty minutes ago or so, I stuck my meat thermometer in the turkey, decided it wasn't done, and put it on the counter...now? I can't find the damn thing. It disappeared! ...rather inconvenient.
(I also managed to try to pick up a thing of green bean casserole while hot from the oven, but only marginally burned the fingers on one hand--I'm not sure why my brain thought ONE hand needed a potholder but not the other...)
I did exactly that one potholder thing the other day, meara. I don't know why either.
Eep! Speaking of timing issues. JZ's mom isn't getting here until closer to 4pm, and I planned everything for 3:15 to 3:30.
Hmph. I could've used that information earlier.
Travel question for those of you in or familiar with San Francisco. If you had a free day, a car and a time limitation of leaving at 8:00 in the morning and being back in San Francisco by 6:00 p.m., where would you go? Monterey? Napa? What would you do when you got there? I may be staying an extra day on my next trip and would like to venture out of the city.
Depends on what you like, lcat! Do you like wine? Spas? Scenery? Outlet shopping?
All my stuff is attempting to stay warm, while waiting for my friend to show up (stuff was ready around 2:45, friend is coming between 3 and 4. Oops)
Monterey seems far for a day trip to me, but I guess it's doable. You have a lot of options, lcat! I'm partial to Napa and Muir Woods, myself. Er, probably not in the same day.
