Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’, OK have been caffeinatin’ a while. YAWN ‘Tis 44 Amurrkin out and mostly cloudy with a predicted high of 79 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. Turkey is in the oven doin’ it’s thang as I post. I’ll put the dressin’ in as well in an hour. Got room for both in there. Cream cheese is out and softenin’ up. Cream cheese with red and green pepper jelly and those really good cracked pepper crackers from the Pubic sto’ shall be the appetizer. That and some wine should keep people happy until feast time.
Metal Mouse glad you made it to Silly Noise safe and sound.
OK, I need some brekkie and I need to purtify as well. OYKW has arisen so we’re up and about now.
Showered, scrubbed the shower while I was in there, then scrubbed the bathroom sink, and now I’m dressed more or less presentably. OK, I’m wearing slippers instead of shoes, but I’m in the house so that’s acceptable. I’ve staged the punkin pie makin’s and as soon as the crusts thaw (no, I don’t roll my own) I’ll build and bake the pies. That should give me enough dirties to run the dishwasher.
And I pulled a pound of shrimps out of the freezer for my feast. I lurves me some shrimps (**FCD **isn’t as much of a fan) so they’ll be mine, all MINE!!!
A little earlier, my entourage followed me into the bathroom. While I was seated, Higgs came for skritches. Then Ziva came in and proceeded to lick Higgs’ tail. Taz just walked by, not wishing to share in the shenanigans. I will be *sooooooooooo *glad when my sweetie gets home!!! Tomorrow evening…
Standard
1/3 cup of butter
1 and a half cloves of crushed garlic
1-2 teaspoons of dried oregano
about 2 teaspoons of chopped green onion
about the same chopped parsley
For something like this I want a thinner pasta-like sauce so I can really enjoy the meat and shrooms. If I was doing something other than shrooms I would go a thicker Middle Eastern sauce.
Got some wood working on becoming coals in the drizzle. I’ll have the bed I want by noon or a bit before.
Welcome back, gotti. Although we miss you, it’s good to see you out and about.

swampy, enough wine with your appetizer and who cares about dinner.
I’m still in my jammies, drinking coffee. I fixed a nice spinach, egg and rice dish for breakfast. I figure lunch will be about 2:00 pm. I have a small ham to put in the oven and I’ll do oven roasted sweet taters and asparagus, a skillet of cornbread (the leftovers will go in the freezer to stuff a bird with at a later date) and a nice burgundy. I have National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on the TV ans may switch to the Blue Bloods marathon later.
I’m expecting today to be a quiet day.
I have to irk, and irk will be slow and boring.
I’ll make tacos later for the (he could live on tacos and pizza) and I’ll be chowing down on leftover chili.
It’s a safety collar FCM. It has my phone number on it in case the little brat gets lost. I’m going to take the bell off though. He’s been chipped but I forgot to switch it over to my name, I need to add that to the ToDo List. Chipping is SOP at the shelter up here.
Break from Netflixing. I made mac-n-cheese for lunch. **FCD **callled - he said the turkey we smoked was good, so yay! I baked 2 pies and did a load of dishes. It’s a good, quiet, lazy day here.
Food coma time. The turkey,dressing, gravy, green beans, collards, sweet N.O.T was all very good. And we had deviled eggs too. I have managed to cram it all in the fridge and am about to have a nap.
I brined the turkey yesterday. It has rested in the fridge for several hours. I will start it on the BBQ in a few hours. It’s small and I use high heat. Before I cook it, I will start apple sauce. 'Beamer has decided that he wants apple sauce with his feast, so I’m making that. I couldn’t find MacIntosh apples, which is what we usually use, so I’m trying Gala. We shall see.
In between cooking, we’ll be doing some hard core re-arranging to clean out my office (which I’m not using anyway) to serve as MiL’s bedroom while she’s here. Busy day. I have loaded up on all the migraine meds I have to hand to see if that helps. Pre-emptive strike.
'Beamer almost freaked out yesterday when he thought he couldn’t play video games with his cast. He has figured out a way to do it. Catastrosphe averted in kid land.
Forgot to tell y’all. My teenage clerk was in the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade. She is a cheer leader captain and was so happy to make the cut. I watched but was not able to pick her out in the huge crowd of cheerleaders. I guess it is a big deal to be invited.
Howdy Y’all! We ate, we drank, we talked, we laughed and best of all they left. Everyone but us is gone and the dishwasher is doin’ its thang as I post. I sent folks home with leftovers so there is very little here in da cave. Enough to nosh on this evenin’ as desired and some for me on Moanday when I return and that’s it. Yay for minimal leftovers.
gotti forgot to say earlier, but glad you’re back and out and about.
Hope all who have or will celebrated/celebrate, had/will have a good time.
We’s tahrd but da cave is nice and peaceful. Also, 'tis very cloudy out.
Both of us are all packed up for our respective trips tomorrow. Go Us! OYKW wants to leave as soon as its daylight which means around six a.m. Can’t blame him cause he does have a seven hour drive poor thing. I’ll leave later in the mornin’ than that since it takes me only two and a half hours. I’m thinkin’ an earlyish bedtime tonight bein’ as we’s both tahrd from today. Oh, dishwasher is emptied and all the fancy eatin’ stuff is back where it lives.
