Present and accounted for, sir. Morning all. We started at 2pm. Cleaned up and put everything away. And then started again at 7pm. And my friends kept opening bottle after bottle of wine. So I hung out drinking with them until about midnight. Now I’m ready for leftovers.
Is it me or do the floats in the Macy’s parade get more commercial every year? Very few cartoon characters. Increasingly advertising characters
>> green beans with a homemade mushroomy sauce and fried onions
Hmmm, sounds delicious!
>>With all those spices your apt/house must have smelt delicious.
DeLepp, my apt was full of cooking aromas all day yesterday. Plus, I tried cooking the turkey at a lower temperature (325 degrees F) but prolonged the cooking time. The oven was on all day yesterday.
Stevie, around 15 mins after we started. 🙂
Kids were done in a hurry but I made them sit around and entertained them with broken telephone and other games until Mrs C and I finished. We were done around 7:15 I guess. So much preparation and then the fun lasts for such a short time – not unlike my first sexual experience (and every subsequent one, for that matter).
Read a funny quote last night, about Roman circuses:
“Women stood up in the stands drumming with their fists on the backs of people in the seats before them and screaming hysterically: “Kill! Kill! Kill!” Even before the games started, smart young men could spot women who would give way to this madness and make a point of sitting next to them. While in the grip of hysteria, women were unconscious of everything else and the boys could play with them while they screamed and writhed at the bloody spectacle before them.”
Mrs. C was pretty traditional: green beans with a homemade mushroomy sauce and fried onions, baked potatoes and squash, pasta (for the kids), stuffing and homemade gravy and cranberry sauce. All quite delish.
stevieb, have a really small kitchen so I just move the pan to tub after bird on carving table to make room. Washed the roasting pan in my towel this morning.

I remember when I didn’t leave my house till 10:30.
Butternut squash gratin, braised cippoline onions, chanterelle pancetta pear dressing, roasted parsnips and vanilla-cinnamon-apple cide panna cotta.
Sweet potato gratin, sliced into very thin rectangles and stacked up on the plate (this was at the restaurant Miriam). Yum!
