Thanksgiving menu:
Turkey - Brined waiting for it's 30 min prep before going into the oven at 11 am.
Mac n Cheese - Ready to go into the oven
Dressing - Ready to go into the oven
Sweet Potatoes - Ready to go in the oven
Green beans - Will be done on the stove while everything else is in the oven
Mashed Potatoes - Will be done on the stove while everything else is in the oven
Stove Top - Will be done on the stove after everything else is done
Biscuits - Done in the oven after the Bird and everything else
Cranberry Can shaped Jelly - will be cut up by someone who can stand the smell...namely NOT me. :)
Pumpkin Pie - Baked and ready to serve (this may be my favorite thing, cause it's done. LOL)
Getting up at 10 am just so I can hurry and get done. I haven't been able to stand long today, and Jeff and I both think that the level of my tummy has dropped somewhat as well. So, I'm not pushing it. Things will get done as they get done. I'm not worried about it. Plus, I have a teen I can house-elferize, and have her put stuff in the oven. :D
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! And for those that are across the pond and don't celebrate, I hope you have a great day! *hugs* |

[Nov. 25th, 2009|07:55 am] |
I just got this email...and I'm pretty...Loss for words does not begin to describe it.
I will not be picking you up from the airport. There is an airport shuttle which I have used many times myself and I trust that a lot more than I trust myself negotiating driving in and around LAX. I tried it once and did not do at all well.
So, just because she can't navigate a parking lot, she is going to leave me at an airport I have never been to, at 34 weeks pregnant, alone to struggle to get to somewhere else I have never been, using a fucking shuttle?
Really, if there was a way, I'd make sure any future potential Surro would know exactly how this...person has treated me. Gawd, I wish there was a way. |

Wow! Looky, it's no where near midnight. :D
I actually accomplished some stuff today. :D
My dressing is in it's pan, all those wonderful flavors mingling. YUM!!!! And my mac n cheese is also in it's pan, ready to be shoved into the oven on thursday. :D
I'm not sure I've talked about my stuffing before, and I'm too lazy to go back and check. If so, please ignore this post. :D
I'm not a fan of celery, never have been, never will be. The vile veggie is up there with...well it's not quiet on the same level as lima beans, but it's close. So, I have been searching for an alternative for years to replace it in my dressing. A few years ago, I found the solution. I have no idea which food network person I was watching, but someone put fruit in their stuffing, I believe it was apples she used. I don't like cooked apples, either, but the idea was a good one, so this is what I came up with.
1 loaf of King Hawiian Bread - cut into half inch cubes sprinkled with olive oil, salt, pepper, ground sage, and ground thyme. Heat for 2 hours in a 225 oven.
1 carrot - small diced
1 1/2 onion - small diced
3/4 of a bag of cherry flavored dried cranberries. (yes, I know I said I don't like cranberries, but these don't taste like cranberries, they taste like cherries, so...)
enough chicken stock to make stuffing squishy. (Love that technical term, squishy?)
Gound Sage
Ground Thyme
salt and pepper
Melt butter in a skillet, on a low heat. Add veggies and cranberries, and sweat until onions are translucent. add spices, herbs, and stir. Combine veggie mix and bread in a large mixing bowl, then slowly add stock until you have reached prefered squishiness. Put in baking dish, bake on 350 until top is golden brown and dish is completely heated through.
Enjoy! |

So, I couldn't seem to get IJ to let me do much of anything yesterday. I couldn't read posts and I couldn't get my own journal to open to post either. So, I'm going to post yesterdays while I can.
I didn't get any of my Thanksgiving day prep done yesterday. Will have to make up for that today.
Well, I can't seem to think of anything to talk about. oh well. |

| Wrisomifu...day 22 |
[Nov. 22nd, 2009|11:44 pm] |
WOW! Another, at least started before midnight. I'm on a roll here.
My Mini_Fest fic is offically in the hands of my wonderful Beta, Missy. YAY! I had to start over, but luckily could use my first attempt as "notes".
I have learned I have no discipline what so ever. Even on a deadline, I was procrastinating right up to the end. I still want to try for the Snarry-A-Thon, but I have the feeling that I should pretty much stick to writing things that excite me, and on my own time. I'm just too much of a procrastinator to be a good fest participant. I'm sure Mods around the world would hate me. :)
My bird is taking it's bath. (Another YAY! This one from Jeff, though) Instead of veggi stock, I used 5 C each of pineapple and orange juice. I forgot that turkeys float. Normally I'd have a convient handle to attach a spoon to to keep him under, but not this year. So, we are trying a pie plate to see how that works. I'm not too overly woried. I'll be fliping him over once a day until Thursday, anyway, so it's not like that one edge will miss out. I also love how this cooler fits in the fridge. I alway worry that the glass shelf will bust on me, under the weight of the metal pot, brine and bird. This cooler fits perfectly where the shelf and drawers would normally go, so no breakage worries for me. I may have to use this cooler from now on, even if I have a smaller bird.
For a few months now, I've been having weird eppisodes. My tummy gets tight, my heart beat picks up, and sometimes my breathing gets faster as well. I didn't think it was contractions, at first, because it just didn't hurt like I'd remembered. I'm not so sure now. They may just be Bracston (sp?) Hicks, but as I have never had them, I am unsure. I do have a history of pre-term labor, so that is one of the reasons I'm unsure now. They are no where near regulated, and the most I have had in one entire day was 4 or 5. So, I'm not worried that I need to go get monitored. But that plane trip is a little more scary now. Stress was a factor in my last case of pre-term labor, (Jeff was leaving the next week for Boot camp), and flying is always stressful, no matter how much you try and make it simple. I do beleive I shall be asking if there is anything I can do, or take (that will be of no harm to baby) to help me stay calm. That reminds me, I really need to start that list of questions for the doctor. I keep forgetting.
I realised something horrible today. I have not read Snarry in a week. (I am not counting drabbles.) I just haven't felt like looking for anything to read. I am thinking this might need to become one of my depression tells, it's just not normal...well, for me at least. :)
Hugs to all! |
