Yay!
Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
How you doin', Perkins?
We had a lovely day, too. Family all together, my wacky grandmother only being slightly wackier than usual, and the kids playing and getting along great. Also, lots of FOOD. I am now considering extra wine and a brief coma.
So stuffed.
Nana arrived shortly after 3:30 and everything was in a ready-but-not-in-danger-of-overcooking state so we were able to chill and have a glass of wine.
Everything came out yummy though I managed to make a very delicious, very starchy Thanksgiving without much in the way of greens. But Emmett ate turkey at Thanksgiving for the first time ever!
Matilda took one bite and contented herself with a buttered roll. She also bypassed the delicious homemade pumpkin pie, but was all over licking the beater of whipped cream. (Strauss Heavy Cream. Mmmmm).
So. Stuffed. And I've got a LOT of turkey left over.
Gotta drive EM home soon, but I'll be glad to be out of the kitchen.
How you doin', Perkins?
Pretty good. Had a very mellow day, but got some stuff done, like buying myself some shoes, and doing some Christmas shopping, and may do some more in a bit. After I eat pie!
Plus after today's Neulasta shot, I am officially half way through with the chemo part of the treatments.
I like the sound of half way!
Halfway is excellent!
Used hot stuffing. Upside - cooked turkey faster. Downside: white meat slightly dry though not noticable with gravy. Made pumpkin pie with coconut milk. Difference very slight from making with evaporated or condensed cow milk, and I think better. Cranberry relish minor variation from ocean spray recipe. (Cranberries, apples, raisin, lemon juice, sweetener).
Hooray for being halfway through!
Thanks all! I think it sounds good too!
