Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
My day started out with this:
a flat(ish) tire. Luckily, I was up early and had gone out to take a picture of the fire across the street:
Terrible picture, but you get the idea. I thought the neighbor would be cooking a pig in the hole, but not so much. Stouffer’s lagasna maybe. We saw him taking out foil covered foil roasting pans later. Kalua turkey, maybe? I digress.
So, anyway, my tire was very low, and I didn’t want to drive on it, so I had to change the tire. Here is the evidence.
Here is the end result:
I had to go to the airport so it was fortunate that I found the tire early so that I had time to change it. I was able to go to the store early, and stop by the service station to get my tire checked. The nice young man could not detect a leak, so he put some air in and put it back on the car for me. I paid them, tipped him and headed on my way.
After I got home with Muscleman I started cooking. Here is my 9-lb. bird (before I cooked it!):
Here is my bird after cooking. Looks are deceiving! Oh, how they deceived.
It was the worst turkey I ever had. I only paid $4 for it, so I didn’t feel so bad about throwing it out after lunch.
I forgot to make the cranberry sauce, but the rest of the meal looked like this:
Stuffing, green bean casserole (Muscleman’s specialty), corn pudding, sweet potatoes, and delicious gravy (at least the turkey drippings were exceptional).
We decided to worry about pie later. Pie is another Muscleman specialty. But, she was tired, and wanted to watch Jeopardy, so she made the pie while seated on the couch. Like you do.
So now, we’re waiting for the pie to bake. Then we’re heading downtown. There are bargains to be had. I remembered just the other day that I had trashed my Christmas tree last year. According to propoganda circulated with today’s bulging newspaper, artificial trees are half-price at K-Mart. We shall see.
Happy leftovers, everybody!.
