Safe travels Butters!
Anyone who needs a spot is welcome at my place for Thanksgiving. I know it’s a bit out of the way, but all y’all are welcome.
Today is laundry and probably some pre-t-day shopping. The excitement!
Another “not a usual MMPoster”, but just thought that I would drop by to say that this year yours truly has been asked to grace my smoker with the Tgiving turkeybird (my motto: if you can roll it I can smoke it - and who hasn’t heard of a turkey roll?). I guess the smoked pheasant went over well at the last Christmas eatin’. The brine will include: brown sugar, maple syrup, garlic, salt, fresh bay or rosemary leaves and whatever else I decide to throw in there. Turkey will be dunked tonight and should be thoroughly drowned by tomorrow. Glaze will include spicy mustard, honey, a hint of spicy pepper and, as always, whatever else captures my imagination at the time. Eight to 12 hours in the smoker and voila!
The drawback to my style of cooking is that the best stuff can never be replicated on accounta I never remember exactly how I did it. The blessing of the method is that the worst stuff can’t be replicated either!
Worked a half day today ,came home, walked Gordie. Going to Canes
Corner
OOO, sounds tasty. And just do what I do ,and mentally keep track of the pffftts, glugs, and shakes in each recipe.
{{{{Butters}}}}. You’ll be OK. And there is a bar/laundromat in San Francisco.
One who Posts in the MMP, or am Imposter in the MMP? 
Welcome, however temporary.
Couldn’t bring myself to type “MMPer”.
[sub]Yeah, I read the MMP enough to know the correct term is Mumper[/sub]
We don’t bite. Much. Not new-comers. 
Midafternoon there was a line to get into the parking lot at our local Trader Joes. Lines are not my style so I went elsewhere. Bird is fully defrosted and it’s almost time to start working on the TPFP.
Once you post in the MMP you are a Mumper forever. It only takes one time. We’re infectious like that. 
Been to the doc. I get to take prednisone for the next five days along with another thing for a rash and some swellin’ I experienced as a result of learnin’ I am allergic to sulfa drugs. Rah. Everything else, however, is pretty good. Good cholesterol is not as good as it should be but I was told if I’d exercise a little more, i.e. go walk and stuff it’d probably be fine so no meds yet. Weight and BMI are good, bp is good, vital organs seem ok, other stuff ok, so yay. The General’s sup has been supped and all is well.
Hi all y’all…kids will start coming in. Lil’ Wrekker is here already, well not home at the moment, youknowMaiaintseenmyfriendsinalongtime, that thing! But I got lots to do. Been cleaning house and getting Christmas stuff out. The kids like to put the tree up after we eat. Got all the grub I need to cook the meal. I am only worried about the turkey. Mr.Wrekker killed one with his bow and had it dressed by a butcher, I have never liked game birds so I am afraid it won’t be the same as the grocery butterball. But I am open to it, I think. I bought a ham too, cause you never know. I gots too many open mouth baby birds to not have a good protein to feed them. It has finally gotten alittle cool here. It feels thanksgiving like. You guys have a great visit with family and friends. And a great meal. By y’all!
It’s good that your insurance covers MMP.
Most of the new plans exclude it.
2Gig!! Long time no see! Glad you could stop by for the Holidays, hope you’re back on a regular basis.
Nappage took over 2 hours, guess I was more tired than I thought. Have to wash dishes (or should I say, load dishwasher and let it do the work) and pack yet, but tonight will be reading and TV.
If I don’t get back on tomorrow morning, all y’all have a good T-Day Thorsday and for our non-Thanksgiving folks, just have a good day anyways.
Tugig!!! Why are you so absent?? I miss you!
Went to supper at RedRobin and met SIL’s mom and sister. Nice ladies - we laughed a lot. But I’m glad to be home - I’s tahred…
Half day tomorrow.
A mug of warm milk and an anti-itch med that may cause drowsiness. If’n I don’t sleep tonight that means I was not meant to sleep.
{{{Gigity}}} ::tacklehug:: Long time no see! Come back and play more often.
MOOOOOOM glad y’all had a good meetup.
OK, gonna head to the boudoir to read for a while and see what this stuff does to me.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
T-Day for us will be at the BoyChilds house again this year. We relinquished the hosting about 10 years ago and glad to do it.
The only thing I regret is we won’t have all those leftovers. I loves me some turkey sammichs on nutritiousless white bread.
We are taking my famous impossible coconut cream pie, as usual, and a kale and butternut squash salad. Seriously. Whenever we ask what we should bring the answer is always “coconut pie!” The salad is our idea.
I had to go to the sto today to find coconut though, and bought a few other things too. Forgot to gas up the little car though. We’ll take the not-as-little car anyway. It gets better mileage on the freeway. There should be 14 people for dinner, including 3 of our great-grandchildren, so it’ll be reminiscent of my youth.
The only thing I won’t like about it is the long, ~100 miles each way, drive.
Ya’ll have a great thorsday!
I’m scared of flying too, though it’s not so much that I think the plane will crash, as I’m terrified of turbulence. I get motion-sick ridiculously easily. In fact, I have a hard time trying to read scrolling credits at the end of a TV show without getting dizzy.
Pathetic.
**swampy, **I remember getting a rash because of a penicillin/amoxicyllin allergy, about a year ago. Luckily these things do go away. I got some medicine for the rash, plus calamine lotion helped too.
Got my hairs did. Had two beers during the coloring process. Had to call scratch and dent Dr cause I am out of BP meds and no time for an appt in the morning. I take such a low dose that I would be fine without for a week but they are gonna call it in for an emergency supply. Two weeks worth.
Still have not packed a stitch of clothing. Will leave in flip flops and change into boots at ATL airport before I venture outside. I am not used to anything below 60F. Gonna freeze to death. That is if the plane doesn’t crash.
Again, if they offer $$$ to give up a seat I shall knock folks over to take advantage. I just don’t want to go. Main reason is my HRH Lucky Louie. And I enjoy cooking and having leftovers. Gonna have to do it up bigly at Christmas.
Happy Thanksging to all. Safe travels to others traveling. Muster no later than 0730 on Moanday.
ETA. got my MRI scheduled for 5 dec.
I guess that’s why we usually go “Mumper” -------- and since we do get a little cheeky now and then …
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 55 Amurrkin and cloudy with a predicted high of 72 and mostly cloudy for the day. It might rain. Or not. Today I shall make up cornbread dressin’ to be cooked tomorrow mornin’, cook the giblets for the gravy and make a sweet N.O.T. pie. Other desserts, brought by others, shall be pee-kahn pie and cheesecake. YUM! We shall go consume Mexican comestibles this evenin’.
Butters and all who are travelin’, safe travels.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then I shall purtify a bit and get busy with TDay prep.
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
FINALLY!!!
When I got to the office, there was no intrarwebz access -the horror!!! :eek::eek::eek: But now it’s fixed.
However, my sleep pattern is still hosed. This morning it was 1:30. Dammit. I needs sleeps!!!
Leaving around 11 today, because I can. We’re taking the kids to Babies R Us to pick out their Christmas present - a pack-n-play crib. We’ll order it later and have it delivered directly to Orlando. But we want them to choose the one they want.
And it was raining this morning. rah. Happy Wednesday!
