Arrived at the in-laws safe and sound, although a little later than expected. Turkey’s in the cooler brining, and I forgot to take pictures again.
Rats.
Well, it’s a good looking bird anyway. I’ll try to remember to take pictures of it tomorrow when we start roasting it.
Tryptophan coma time
Tis the season for travel, family gatherings and tryptophan-induced comas. Later on this afternoon we’ll be bundling up the dogs and our kitchen, packing up the car and heading off to the in-laws for our usual Thanksgiving catering gig. The wife’s parent’s really don’t do whole lot of cooking and don’t have the best equipped kitchen (by our standards anyway, although it is nice and big) so we usually end up packing along a good chunk of our kitchen for these things.
Not sure how many people to expect this year, but I don’t think it will be too many. We only ordered a 20 pound turkey this time. Maybe this year I’ll remember to photo-document the turkey cooking process. This year we’re working on our gravy making technique.
It’s snowing!
Imagine my shock and surprise when the wife told me it was snowing outside. It’s actually coming down pretty good out there too (for around here anyway). There’s a low pressure system just off the coast sucking cold air in, which is apparently cold enough at higher elevations to turn the rain into snow!
Cool. Too bad it’s not cold enough for it to stick around.

They…broke…it…
Didn’t get to see the Grey Cup this year but from what I’ve been reading it was a pretty good game between BC and Montreal with BC taking all the glory in a 25-14 victory.
How horrifying that must have been for the Keepers of the Cup? Could you imagine handing over the cup to the victorious players and then seeing the nearly 100 year old trophy head off in two directions?
Fortunately it’s back in one piece and hopefully a little stronger than before.
I want my two hours back!
I didn’t want to go see it. The wife knew I didn’t want to go see it. She dragged me out to the theater anyway to double-date it with a friend of ours. Borat. Ugh, what a complete waste of time it was. I’ve never found that ambush-style of humour very funny anyway. While Borat does highlight some of the cultural ignorance and attitudes of stereotypical Americans (whether on purpose or not), I thought the movie was just one long painful experience.
-5 stars out of 5.
I should have let the rest of them see it and gone to see Flushed Away instead.
Who do I see about getting my two hours back?
