Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
On the beach at Surf City, NC
A giant of a turkey from Keegan-Filion Farm in Walterboro. At 12 kg (27lb), one of the biggest turkeys I’ve ever roasted. This bad boy was in the oven 5 hours before it was done.
Apparently it was too cold for everybody else. While everybody ate inside, I was enjoying my Thanksgiving dinner out on the balcony overlooking the beach. It was pretty nice out there.
The dogs couldn’t join in the festivities at the beach house, but I made sure they all had a good time
Happy thanksgiving!
Turkey’s roasting away in the oven, cranberry sauce is done and we’re working on the mac and cheese. In a few hours, the house will be stuffed with people and about an hour after that, stuffed people.
Hope everyone else has a good one!
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.
Got ham on the menu for this year’s Thanksgiving. Going to see if I can make it like mom does. This marks the start of my eating season 🙂
Mmmmm, turkey‘s in the oven, cornbread (Jiffy cornbread mix and a can of corn kernels), sweet potatoes (just plain roasted) are done and there’s an ice cold 6-pack of Molson Ice in the fridge. All that remains is the gravy, dressing and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese is half done. Just need to toss it into the oven to finish. Gotta come up with a tasty veggie dish now.
Oh, this is gonna be soooo good…
Spent most of yesterday cleaning the apartment. Boy, did it ever need cleaning. Vacuumed corners that probably hadn’t seen the business end of the vacuum cleaner since we moved in. Scary sight. But the place looks better now. Still cluttered, but clean. We just have too much junk in our apartment. One of these days, we’ll have to go through and decide what’s junk and what isn’t.
