Ahhh, That Feels Much Better....

I'm not even going to tell you how long it's been since I've had a shower.  Yeah, I've been wallowing in my own filth for days now, too busy to have any me time.  I'm not gonna lie, it didn't bother me a bit, other than the face full of zits I'm probably gonna get.  Now I'm clean.  Damn it feels good.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.  Mine?  Well, not a whole lot to report.  I got my turkey ready around 11am remembering that I had to pull the stuff out of him. I don't think I've ever seen a raw turkey before, so I tried to convince Brandon & Gavin that they wanted to reach in there and get it out.  I had no takers on this one.  Well, let me rephrase that, Brandon said he would do it for $20.  I reached my hand in there and pulled the stuff out myself, saving $20.  Who knew a turkey neck would look like a limp penis?  I saved it and it's gonna end up on someone's windshield before the weekend is over :)  Anyhow, I put the turkey in the roaster WAAAY too early, but it pretty much ended up falling off the bones and tasted yummy so I guess it ended up ok.  Nobody got food poisoning either, so we're good.  Next time I'm just going to buy a breast because nobody will eat dark meat here.  Way more expensive, but way less hassle. 

Since there was only 5 of us eating on a 15lb turkey, I have plenty of leftovers for the rest of the weekend.  I'm pretty proud of Brandon.  He's trying to be more open minded these days and he actually tried my turkey and ate some.  No, it's not a chicken patty or a cheeseburger, but he ate anyway. 

It was pretty hectic late in the afternoon.  I had to take Ev to the other grandma's house so he could celebrate with them an hour before I had dinner at my house.  After some small talk, I bolted back home to finish all my stuff, almost forgetting the stuffing.  I didn't stuff the turkey being my first time and all.  Stovetop worked just fine.  The parents were a little upset Ev wasn't there, but there are some things that you have to bend on, and taking him to dinner and not having to go myself was bending that I could take. 

After dinner the parents left, and Ev came home shortly after that.  His grandma told me how enjoyed table food with them at dinner.  Needless to say, I was unhappy.  The kid is only 7 months old with two teeth.  I sent jar food and he ate that, so she thought she'd let him sample everything else. Fucking great.  Testing food with him has not exactly been fun.  Since I'm allergic to milk, I've been hesitant to give him any table food, other than some peaches and peas here and there.  Well, turns out the turkey, stuffing, potatoes and pumpkin pie upset his stomach majorly.  I put him to bed and every 20 minutes all night long he would wake up screaming like someone was sawing off a leg.  Fun shit.  Oh yeah, speaking of shit, guess who got to clean up not 1 but 4 of those kind of diapers today due to all the food?  Yeah, me. FML

He's napping now and will probably sleep the whole day due to lack of sleep last night.  I know I certainly could use the rest.  Oh wait, the Satan Spawn is awake.  Damn it!

Ok, well I gotta go deal with him real quick.  I still don't have major plans for the weekend, so we'll see what happens :)  Maybe nothing, I'm sooooo tired....

I'd make the grandmother keep him over-night next time she pulls that crap again. Let her deal with the poor kid since it was her fault.
I'm glad your turkey turned out good. I'm sure I would have burned it. lol
Oh and thanks for sharing about not bathing. Yum. :P

Next time, simmer the turkey neck all day and use it as a base for your gravy--pull off the meat, mix it with the pan drippings, add some butter and a little flour, maybe some chicken stock, that's all there is to it. Very tasty.

But yeah, leaving it on somebody's windshield is probably more fun.

My God people, it's taken two days for the poor kid to get back to normal!!

Curious - I LOVE drunk commenting!! I wish I was right about now, I'm sadly sober....

Mejis - ya know ya wanted to know that I was a stinky bitch!

Mikey - I don't think that I could actually eat something that had the turkey neck simmering in it. So yeah, windshield it will be :)
