A Weekend Full of Turkey
So, I've been thinking all week trying to remember all the stuff I'll need for Thanksgiving on Thursday. I'll be making the turkey, real mashed potatoes, and stuffing; Don's making the gravy, peas, and salad; Ippie's going to bring dessert; and Oupie's got KP duty (ha!).
But I'm making the turkey at Mom's house, so I have to bring a lot of stuff. I went grocery shopping and got everything I need (I think), but I have to remember to bring stuff like my turkey roaster, carving knife (I don't like using Mom's knives), and stuff like that. I'll have to get to her house really early, like 8:15 in the morning which means I have to get up by at least 7am or earlier. I've got a 13.5 pound turkey that's going to take about 4 hours, plus there's prep time. I think what I'll do is put a beer can inside the turkey (we make Stove Top, so no need to stuff the bird) which will help make it really juicy and moist while I baste it at the same time. Plus, it'll have my secret spice to make it even more tasty. *SLURPS* Makes my mouth water just thinking about how good it's going to be. If I can do all that, we'll be ready to eat by about 1pm. It'll be a big table full of people with Mom, Dad, me, Don, Ippie & John, Oupie and the kids.
Then it's off to the Bucks' for another turkey dinner and a holiday celebration with Don's sisters, cousins, etc.
This whole weekend is going to be great! Two turkey dinners, then Friday, we're meeting Tony & Juliet for drinks to celebrate their new engagement. Then it's my birthday this Saturday which means I get to go to dinner wherever I want (maybe Real Seafood or Logan's). Yay!
