| Dressing fresh from the oven! |
Tomorrow's
Thanksgiving and what am I doing? I'm making Thanksgiving dishes like
I was having some major dinner or something. Which really bizarre is
that now, I'm almost positive I have two Thanksgiving dinners being
brought into me by those who think I'm a sad and wasted old man
miserably spending my holiday alone in my little apartment. I am not
that person! I mean look at I say? These folks really wanted to make
sure that I had a Thanksgiving dinner. And I thought, and I do want
to Thanksgiving dinner. But what you really strange and kind of crazy
is that I want to also make one. I am so weird.
So
far the gigantic winter storm which was forecast to begin today has
not really, as far as I can tell, the Taylorsville area. If you
believe the local weather people on the 5:30 PM news is that great
quantities of snow is falling all around this area but not here.
Maybe later on tonight about the snow will be dropped by to see it
right now and what the hell is wrong with me? Do I sound like I
complaining? I guess I kind of am. I mean a huge snowfall is going to
be nothing but a headache for me not right of the day of the snowfall
especially since it's a holiday. It's not like I have anywhere to go.
But as the days afterwards when the snow turns to ice small miniature
ice flows, gutter glaciers everywhere, for a while anyway. I kind of
feel bad for folks who promised me the Thanksgiving plate especially
if they have to get out in the elements tomorrow. Perhaps I will
contact them and tell them they don't have to sense snow is so
pervasive in the fact that it's Thanksgiving Eve and I'm cooking my
brains out at my apartment. I'm just having a great time!
This
afternoon after I went through a lethargic sugar low I made some
coffee and got to work. Downloaded a way to jazz up stove top
dressing and it really worked reminded me of the old days I had a
family that I lived with me chop up the onions, chopped parsley chop
up the celery swept the vegetables through in the butter make the
dressing. When I did this afternoon it was so much fun chop chop
chop. The place smells great! I was relatively pleased because I
wasn't sure how is going to handle the Sage but the stove top
dressing that I got from the box from the food bank was already
seasoned with the Sage I threw together popped up in the oven and
sure enough 30 minutes later I had pretty decent looking dressing,
amid yanked it out too soon is not as Brown crunchy as it has been
but that's okay since I'm going to be reheating the dressing anyway and the crunch will not matter since it's spent the night in refrigerator
and the crunch is long gone regardless. Next I attacked the candied
yams. That was way simple I was surprised I plopped the can of yams
in covered with brown sugar and cinnamon covered with marshmallows.
The only problem I had/have is that I did not save the juice. I did
not read the directions close enough that the drain the yams I didn't
read where it says set aside ½ cup to add to the yams later. I'm
sure the be okay I don't want the yams too good because I don't want
to gorge on them. My weight was up this morning. Now, probably
tomorrow I will cook the turkey breast that I have it set it aside
and just see what comes in the front door the good Samaritans wanted
to make sure I'm covered this Thanksgiving a nice big plate of
turkey…
