Thursday--Thanksgiving!
8:40am go running
9:30am pull Turkey out, rinse off brine, pull out all the inside stuff since I forgot to before I brined it.
give the turkey a nice butter massage
wrestle it into the Reynolds bag since Dan-o's playing football
10:30am put turkey in the oven
pull out the potatoes, set them on the counter
make whipped cream
11:20am realize when you put the thermometer into the turkey and then closed the bag that it must have hit a bone since it's been an hour and says your turkey is 207*. This is false
12:30pm pull turkey out the the oven, let it rest
1pm have husband take semi-decent picture with your bird! Cause you just cooked a freakin turkey!
1:15pm first stress hits while trying to find enough counter space for the husband to carve the turkey while you make the gravy
1:20pm husband watches a youtube video to try and carve the turkey just right
1:30pm time for eats!
I love me some Thanksgiving cooking!
