It's been ages since my last entry - but I haven't had the time or the access to a computer - to be able to make my entries.
Well ONE part of that excuse has changed! I have a new laptop! - My OWN Sony Vaio - and it is SWEEEET!....... I've been setting it up - with the help of Richard....and getting used to the difference between this and all the old crap I've been using.
I'm getting ready for Thanksgiving - like most of you out there - and I did a MAJOR clean Friday and Saturday AM - and have about 1/2 the food.(yea- I've got the wine- that's 1/2!)......
Thanksgiving..............
Every year I think I'm going to make something unusual - like Chestnut Stuffing - or starting civilly with a first course of some exotic soup - as if the whole circus of getting all those sides, gravy and The Turkey cooked to arrive at the table on time without over or under cooking any one of them - weren't making you absolutely frazzled!
Every year I think -' Turkey is so easy to cook'...... you just put it in the freaking oven and have a cocktail while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! But somehow...it never turns out that way.....I'm stressed about all the timing and cooking for a crowd larger than 2!...the men are glued to football and are totally ignoring the whole process....the kids are sleeping until noon and are no help....the grandchildren are running around screaming and fighting with each other over some insignificant toy.....and magically we all come to the table - say a prayer of thanks - and gorge on enough food to feed all of Bangladesh!
Oh Yes...I DO love Thanksgiving!...............Bring it on!
