happy thanksgiving!

people slave over thanksgiving meals.  i don't.  and i even wait till the morning of to buy groceries.  with a lil intuitive planning and an oven friendly menu, cooking for the masses is pretty much only an hour and a half of prep work.  hours of idling in the middle. and a few last minute touches at the end.  we went grocery shopping @ 11.  came home by 12.  de-boned the turkey and had it marinating by 1.  the carcass was placed in a pot for soup.  and at that point. i just waited for the rice and chinese sausage mixture to finish cooking.  turkey in the oven by 3.  stuffing and mashed potato condiments ready to be put together.  and i was playing video games and watching tv till 7.   with no carcass and enough fat in ur stuffing.  there's no need to baste the turkey.  even the breast comes out quite juicy.  food on table by 7.30.  and drinking by 9.   twix bars and ice cream shakes were made by 10.  second wave of liquor ordered by 11.  kings was on the table by 12.  happy thanksgiving!

the last thanksgiving dinner i was around for was 2004.  my how nothing has changed.
