Happy Thanksgiving, All! I hope everyone has a stress-free, easy day.

I am off to the grocery store to get crab legs for our dinner.

 You and me both, screw my family!

Does ANYONE want a pair of bull calves, on black, one red, Skip and Bo? About a month old, friendly and socialble, we just don't have room for them. Normally bull calves go for veal, but these two are little and not very strong. They would make great oxen, just to play with and maybe pull a cart or sled. Next year. When they are much bigger.

Come and get them, Flan, they are free!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Dona, we would be glad to take to two runts. I would name one Hamburger and the other Steak. 

The turkey is in the oven, the spiral ham is in the big crockpot. Now to do the last minute stuff.

We eat at 12:30. The kids are so excited and it's not like they aren't here a lot, but this is Thanksgiving and they get to eat in the formal dining room. Kids are so funny.

Oh, and it's snowing here.

 It's just the two of us so why should I cook a big turkey dinner.  We only get crab legs for special occasions.

 If I could get to you, I'd take one.

Bet they will fatten up nicely.

 No, they won't.  GuernseyXHolstien cross. Two very lean dairy breeds, and teeny tiny twins to boot. They will never get bug, or very fat. Perhaps a little chubby. 

Gonna kill DH. I couldn't find the sausage I need for MIL's mom's stuffing so I poked DH awake and asked where he put it. He put it in the blasted freezer. So now I have to wait for the sausage to thaw. We don't use a lot of sausage here otherwise I'd send DH to the store to get me another one. He knew that sausage was for Thanksgiving - which was 5 days away from when I bought it. He knew Thanksgiving was TODAY when we were breaking up the cornbread last night so I could make the stuffing in the morning. Why in the world he didn't think gee maybe I should get the sausage out of the freezer where I put, I will never know. Better yet, why he didn't just put it in the fridge in the first place.

I found the missing cream cheese yesterday. In my truck. Where I asked DH to go look when it wasn't in the bag when I got home from the store. He said he couldn't find it so I had assumed he did go look. I'm irked about the wasted money but there was no way I was eating cream cheese that had been in my truck for 5 days. It's been in the high 70s here the past few days so there was no way it was anywhere near a 'safe' temp. The cream cheese wasn't hidden either. It was in plain sight leaning against the little "hump" on the floorboard of the back seat.

Can you thaw the sausage in a bowl of hot water?

 It's in the sink in hot water.

DH is in hot water too.

 He might be the turkey getting served for dinner. My big bowl I need to mix my biscuit dough is not clean. DH proclaimed himself the dish wench and he did not do dishes last night. Grrrrr!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone down South of me! I hope your stresses melt away like butter in your stuffing!

Ugh. I was supposed to have bloodwork today and knew it was a fasting order but thought it was 8hrs fasting. It's ten, which sort of messes up my day (from a whiney "I'm hungry, I want my coffee, I want my nap before the late shift" sort of way). Because I worked the late shift last night I was on last meal, which screwed everything up. Tonight I can avoid that and have the test done early enough to have a normal day.

Of course all the things I'm complaining about are the reasons we're doing the testing . . . **whine whine whine**

Oh, chef, I'm sorry you're having such a stressful day today.

 You know what's sad? I'm so used to things just having to go wrong that I'm not stressed. I'm irked, but not stressed. No matter how well I plan or how many lists I make, Murphy's Law just has to strike.

Sure, I'll take them! Are they housebroken?

I live in the city. 

We had an Amber Alert in the area last night. One reason I know is I got it on my phone - at 1 am. I thought the house was under attack or something. That was a rude awakening.

Turkey is in the oven. Now I'm just sitting around until time to make everything else. We are planing to eat about 5.

Btw, it's 64 degrees here at the moment. Weird.

Well, everything is made. I need to shave and pop the casseroles in the oven before we leave. Got up early and started the bread and went back to bed. DN has already texted me pictures of her apartment. They've decorated and pulled every table and chair together for tonight. She's hilarious. DH is currently frying turkey's.

chef, we defrost stuff in hot water at the last minute sometimes. It will be fine. If you were here I'd gladly give you some cream cheese. I buy the eight packs at Sam's.

Dona, I'd love those bull calves.

---

You need to shave before you leave?

 Yes and no.  No, I'm sure no one would care.  The people in my family are pretty cool.  I could show up in my pajama's and they wouldn't get upset.  Yes, I've been putting it off for awhile and for ME I wanted to.

Turkey is almost done. Just finished a game of Settlers of Catan.
