ROFLMAO
I'm NOT going to be doing Thanksgiving this year for the first time in a decade. But type A that I am, I'm doing my second practice run on pumpkin pies this afternoon. And, in a moment of weekness, I volunteered to do the Christmas open house.... somewhere between 35 and 48 people. I'm already stressing out on that and this column was wonderful. thanks for posting it.
Oldie but goodie bump
Humorous and timely! Thanks.
Then look for the nearest Chinese restaurant and order Peking Duck. "Deck the harrs with boughs of horry, fa-ra-ra-ra-raaaaa, ra-ra-ra-raaaaa."
You need to read this, it is pretty funny.
Boy, didn't that didn't take on a whole new meaning!
Martha Stewart whacking a turkey with a hatchet bump.
I make the Thanksgiving turkey for my family. I just go to the butcher shop a week prior and order a 28-32 lb fresh turkey. On the way home from work on Wednesday, I pick it up. At about 5AM the next morning, I take a box of Bell's stuffing mix, add about a dozen eggs and stuff it in the turkey (the eggs help keep the stuffing firm). I then drench the outside of the bird in olive oil, cover in tin foil and bake at 350 degrees. About six hours later, I remove the tin foil (so it can brown) and baste it every half hour after that until the little pop-up thing pops.
Nothing too complicated and I'm usually hanging my Christmas lights and watching football in the meantime. Around noon, I throw in some sweet potatoes and my wife makes the biscuits, gravy and vegetables. Guests bring the pies and appetizers. Around 3PM, we are sitting down to the meal and everything is always just fine.
