We just got finished doing the dishes and putting the leftovers away. Even the youngest helped out though he seemed more interested in playing with the soap bubbles instead of cleaning. Still, it was a wonderful day.

Lol, thats funny Oerdin.


I went two places yesterday, my great aunts (all Pure Bloods), and then my sis-in-law's (all Tainted Bloods). Some Pure Bloods went with me, but after they left, the Tainted Bloods tried talking all that "you need to be vaxxed! You're gonna kill people!". So I laughed it off, and told them I had to go lol. See ya at Christmas!

Oh, I said that joke too while I was there.... "so I hear if I talk about Politics at Thanksgiving it will save everyone money on Christmas" lolol.

Thanksgiving was a resounding success. Great food, good company. Raiders vs Dallas game was good, with Raiders coming out on top, Whoo!

Some spiked egg nog and then the original Ghostbusters with the family.

I have family coming over Thursday. Am going to premake much of the stuff on Weds so all I have to do is pop it in the oven on the big day.

Best side for Thanksgiving turkey: mashed sweet potatoes and orange juice sprinkled with brown sugar and baked in orange peel "shells."

The turkey as well?

I have been defrosting it since around noon on Monday. Tomorrow is Weds and I will start brining it in an ice bath for several hours to really get the salt brine into the meat. After that, I will dry the turkey off, insert pats of butter under the skin, put a couple slits with a knife into the breast and insert butter into each slit. Finally, I will put it into an oven bag with various vegetables, tie off the oven bag, put the bag in my turkey roasting container, and put it all back into the fridge.

That way Thursday morning all I have to do is take the whole thing out of the fridge and into the oven. Basically, all I am doing is prepping everything the day before.

I like oven bags because it self basts and it cooks faster. The down side is you never get that wonderful crispy brown roasted skin. Each year I try to cut open the bag and expose the top for the last half hour to try to brown up the skin but it never turns out with that classic brown crispy roast turkey skin my grandmother used to make.
