Hi
I was out walking again this Morning + 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 28 on the porch and 33 on the cable channel. This mornings weather forecast said that the wind chill would be in the teens, I looked out before leaving and no wind and none came up while I was walking
It is a clear Blue Sky with a forecast in the 40s for This Thanksgiving.
I walked past the the local Grocery Store, Bagel Shop and a Dunkin Donuts as I was curious, All were open, not great for the workers
My Non Frozen NS order arrived Yesterday.
This was Interesting to me

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hey! Happy Pre Thanksgiving Day! I'm just finishing a meal...since I missed breakfast, but then its also noon...?? My rice and bean burrito...(with cheeze, salsa, and avocado=whole meal!!) But I also heated up some squash...just a little bit...maybe a bit less than a quarter of an acorn squash! And I feel FINE!. I tried small bites on one that I roasted a couple weeks ago with no ill effects. There is hope I can eat winter squash again?!?!?!? I hope!
Going to the gym, and then we'll see how much energy I have left...I'd like to check WF for fried tofu...and stopping at Publix for Annie's lite Honey Mustard salad dressing...to take tomorrow to go with the salad I'm bringing. I have some but its been open for awhile, and I'd rather not make them all sick!
Rice and beans is a traditional dish in many areas. Just curious do You also make a Spanish Rice ?
Would a Winter Squash Allergy also include Pumpkin as in Pumpkin Pie or Pumpkin Bread, Both Tasty IMO.
As long as the green fur on the salad dressing is short it should be fine
Despite the markings on the Bottle to refrigerate after opening my Brother persists in leaving it out once opened thus I have a separate Ketchup bottle in the refrigerator to use for things like the NS Hamburger and NS Meatloaf Sandwich, OTOH I also use BBQ Sauce or Thousand Island dressings on them.
When I went to get ready to walk this morning at 6AM we had just put the Turkey in the Oven after stuffing it with the Dressing made last night. It would not fit in the usual Roaster being to plumpAnd I'll prep salad vegetables tonite, wash the greens etc. Tomorrow should be a piece of cake, so to speak.
Local interstate moving a lot of cars, but no traffic woes. (yet) Pix on the news from Cobb county I 75, north of ATL....is a mess! Glad I'm not making any long trips, flying, etc.
Ok, time to get going.... Oh, Roger, yes, Veg broth boiled to reduce volume and increase flavor makes a great gravy. I've done that for years...somebody looked at the gravy one T day after we'd eaten, and the traditional gravy was like a 'lump'...we could stick a spoon in it and it stood straight up....cooked flour and fat...Pudding? Last time I made a pan gravy! Yuck. Tasty when hot though
Ed...is there a new kitty in your future, or has there been a problem with the adoption? hope you're just waiting for the holiday to end and J to be home.
Later... Luckily we also had this one that did work.
https://www.amazon.com/Denmark®-Nonstick-Anodized-Turkey-Roaster/dp/B017WPGMHK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
The Rack in this one is great for lifting the turkey out too, and it keeps the bird off of the bottom.
The Potatoes have been prepped and are sitting in a pan to be cooked later
Traditional Gravy is tasty, I know it gets a little thick when cold, that never bothered me.
Traffic on a Holiday, Nah
They did the usual airport reporting large crowds and they did no look that crowded to me.
There was some heavier than usual traffic Wednesday, This morning there was almost none on the road although A few cars and trucks rumbled past me.
Enjoy the Holiday

I like rosemary. A pinch each of saffron and turmeric, mostly for color but also a little flavor, and maybe a quarter teaspoon of poultry seasoning. It was delicious, with salt and pepper added to taste. That and some white wine made a lovely solo dinner.
We decided to skip Biscuits or home made bread as the starch load will be high anyway with the Bread Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Homemade Gravy, Sweet Potatoes and Homemade Pumpkin Pie with Homemade Whipped CreamTomorrow, of course, is Happy Bird Day to us all!
I have everything I think I need and even decided, at the last minute, to get some pre-baked croissants and save those refrigerator biscuits for something else. One croissant for each of 6 meals will be nice.
In the morning, all I need to do is prepare the dressing/stuffing and bake it, make the gravy, steam a green vegetable and set my Edwards pecan pie slices out to thaw. I guess also set out the frozen whipped topping. I should probably put that up into the refrigerator now.
The rest is all just warm up and enjoy. I will work something out for breakfast but likely will go pretty light on that meal since I KNOW that no matter how frugal I am with my serving size, the Thanksgiving dinner will be a bit heavy and I need to plan for that.
Oh, and I have to cook that small pumpkin too, but that won't take very long. Not sure yet whether I'll be making soup or just mashed pumpkin. We left the Sweet Potato Pie and the Pecan Pie in the freezer, Enough is enough.
I suspect that Overeating is in the future for today, Oh well.

I haven't watched The Unsinkable Molly Brown yet for this Thanksgiving so will be doing that at some point today. I would have yesterday but there was an old movie I just received in the mail about penguins and I watched that instead.
And I may go back to bed after breakfast, for a nap...I got MYSELF up early this morning and can't blame the cats.
Now I need to go work on that breakfast.
TV, No CBS on the satellite as the contract to carry it ran out and they want more money and channels they own carried, Thus no DVR for it, I could watch on our basic Cable with no DVR, Nah. It appears that I could watch it on the Internet on cbs.com with commercials
I do not recall if You used the Thanksgiving video You linked or not. Thanks

Well, I've managed to have a lovely Thanksgiving day meal and I don't feel TOO terribly stuffed. But I did eat a bit more than intended, and probably a bit too much.
I started with home made squash bisque, made from a small Golden Nugget Squash/Pumpkin.
The main meal included sliced turkey breast with dressing, gravy, sliced ham, steamed green beans, and a buttered croissant.
Dessert was just a sliver, maybe three good bites, of pecan pie with a generous blob of extra creamy whipped topping.
All this was washed down with half a bottle of Pinot Noir.
Now I may take a nap...

Howdy y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 34 out there now with an expected high of 62 and no chance of rain.
Need to get the cats fed and then at noonish I am supposed to pick up Dinah in a parking lot.
I already got the sink cleared and I've had my breakfast.
I did take a break, for breakfast, from Thanksgiving leftovers, so I won't get burned out on that too quickly.

And...another take on the Thanksgiving Pringle's. I think I'd have liked trying that one myself.

Hi
I was out walking again this Morning and checked to be sure a business was still there before setting it as a location to meet a friend. The temperature this morning was 28 on the porch and 29 on the cable channel. It was a bit chilly while walking

The Turkey came out nicely browned with a crispy skin. The Pan worked nicely, The Juices dripped out into the bottom of the pan and turned into a black crust. Cleanup was really easy due to the nonstick coating. I just used my hand and everything brushed out cleanly. Mashed Potatoes, fried crispy Asparagus, Stuffing, a relish tray, Homemade Gravy, Homemade Pumpkin Pie, Deviled Eggs and Homemade Cranberry Sauce. I ate to Much as that was Lunch and as for Dinner I skipped it.
I am thinking of vacuum sealing most of the turkey either today or tomorrow. Today back on the NS plan using the Turkey as the Extra protein portion of it. I am thinking I want a NS Pizza for dinner today.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 34 out there now with an expected high of 62 and no chance of rain.

Hi Valerie0

And...heeeeeeeeere's DINAH!

Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
38 out there now with a high of 65 expected and no chance of rain. I might get out to Kroger for a minute, later.
I've had an early morning visit with Dinah, in "her" room, the hall bathroom. Of course I had quite a few visits with her yesterday afternoon and evening too. I'm sure she gets lonely in there. I did leave her some of the toys that the other cats play with and of course she has her kibble and water, and a litter box.
In a while I'll be putting out canned food for everyone. Coincidentally, the canned food that was given to me as a starter for her is the same brand and type (Fancy Feast Classic Paté, assorted flavors) that I have been feeding them. Dinah won't have to transition at all on the canned food and I'm pretty sure she won't have any issues with eating the same kitten food that Kiara eats, at least for a time.
She's very small, but they are still estimating a year old. She has, after all, had and weaned kittens who are estimated to be at least 2 or 3 months old. As she was very emaciated when rescued, I suspect she simply didn't have the food resources to reach her full growth potential. She may still have a little growth time left, but I am pretty sure she'll always be a small cat, which is fine with us.
She's VERY affectionate and I know she would love for me to be in there with her all the time, but I have to be fair to the other cats, so I am going in there every two or three hours and spending some quality time with her.
Later today, I may isolate the other cats in the master suite and let Dinah roam the rest of the house for a few minutes, to let her smell them some more and leave her scent out here for them. Dinah was the one starting any hissing yesterday when they met through the kitty carrier door, and then again later when I was holding her and let her see them.
I think once she gets over being geographically moved from the foster, where she had, I'm sure, started to feel like it was home, to here, where she has to start all over again with new people and new cats, rather than the ones at the foster home, she'll fit in just fine. We've done this before.
