Today was a pretty late day, I was up for a couple of hours early this morning, decided to pay a bill and check out cougarfan.com, and a little solitaire/free cell. So at 10:00, we started the turkey and the stuffing. The turkey was not a big deal, mom made the wide foil, and i made the stuffing. this year's simon and garfunkel memorial stuffing is: one large tube of Jimmy Dean sausage, fried pretty hard with a couple of large onions, seasoned with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. added to that nine slices of toast, cut and crumbled, and in a large mixing bowl add two cans of cranberry sauce, two cans of chicken broth with a few drops of your hot sauce of choice, add a fresh onion chopped up, and the secret ingredient this year wasfour fuji apples chopped up. Put it in the turkey and cook it for three hours, we're one hal hour into it at this point.
That's been my day thus far. Dominic and Iris, (it's her birthday today) went to get grandmother, the guys did their turkey bowl this morning, and by all accounts cleaned up the opposition.
Not much going on. It's predicted to stay under 50 degrees today, Mom and i may get out for a walk, i still have potatoes to cook and mash, yesterday i bought gravy at costco, so that will make part of today easier.
I'm struck with the idea that i may be more of a pessimist than I previously thought. not a good thing, particularly at thanksgiving time. there is a lot of good in life, and there are a lot of things that would be nice if they were a little different, but that's OK. i shouldn't let the bad keep me from enjoying the good, things will always work out, if i will learn what i'm supposed to learn, life is good.
have a great holiday everybody.
love, pa
