Happy Thanksgiving Day to all of the site readers in the USA. (I’m guessing it’s just another Thursday for those of you who find yourselves living in “exotic” locations.)<\/p>\n
As this entry’s title says, I am writing this on Tuesday, and post-dating it. To all of you out there who are the primary (as in “only”) cook in your homes >>> If you are reading this entry during the day, you know that I am probably “enjoying” the national day off by doing one of the following “fun” activities:<\/p>\n
Peeling potatoes
\nCutting up celery
\nDicing onions
\nPreparing the green beans
\nMaking the white sauce to go on the pearl onions
\nPreparing the stuffing
\nMashing potatoes
\nCutting the turkey
\nBaking the pumpkin pie
\nPreparing the gravy (Which I have to admit, I cheat on>>> I use the turkey flavor canned gravy with a whole lot of coarse cracked pepper in it >>> No lumps for us… and a whole lot easier for me!)\u00a0
\nETC!!!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, if you’re reading this entry after, let’s say, 6:00 PM… Then my “fun” activities will be somewhat different:<\/p>\n
Doing the dishes
\nDe-boning and carving the turkey
\nFinding space in the refrigerator for all of the left-overs
\nLabeling cut-up turkey for the freezer
\nFinding space in the freezer for all of the excess turkey
\nETC!!!<\/p>\n
Not to worry though… Since we favor the Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce, someone will probably help me by opening the can… if only to hear the swoosh as the air suctions out of the can when the cranberry “blob” falls into the bowl >>> which\u00a0I placed right by the can >>>\u00a0next to the can opener!<\/p>\n
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you… cooks and non-cooks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
