Turkey books.

I ran the dishwasher with an over-stuffed, completely full load at 2pm. I ran it again at 10pm. This is the sign of a turkey dinner, is it not?

Yes, I made a full turkey dinner tonight. And no, it's not Thanksgiving yet. I found a turkey for a good price last week, and it sounded good. We had mashed potatoes, gravy, candied yams, green beans and rolls. Oh, and I had sweet tea, of course. I wasn't in the mood to make my own pumpkin pie this afternoon, and the bakery didn't have any. I wasn't up for a frozen pie either, so I just bought a lattice apple pie instead, and I drizzled caramel sauce over warm slices. Yummy! The boys were be-bopping around the house while the turkey roasted, singing, "We're having an early Thanksgiving! Yay, we're having an early Thanksgiving!"

I need to be getting to bed. Tomorrow morning is another meeting of the scrapbook group here at our house, and I always find myself in a flurry, trying to make sure everything is "just so" before the girls arrive. And if I tuck into bed now, I'll get a few more chapters into Deception Point. I started reading it a few days ago, but so far, I've only read a chapter here and there while on the toilet (I'm sorry - was that too much information?). I wonder how much better it is when I'm tucked into bed...?

Sounds like it's Poop O'Clock in Nebraska.

Nah, that's earlier in the day. Now it's Bed O'Clock. ;-)

One day I am going to land on some poor unsuspecting American person's doorstep and beg for a Thanksgiving dinner, since we dont have it over here

You wouldn't have to beg at my house! I'd gladly feed you. :-D

dooood, you should have invited me over!! I love full turkey dinner! We have it every so often outside of a holiday [we eat it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter] just because it's sooo yummy. We always find the hugest turkey we can find! Now I'm craving.

I mean, really - who says you can't have turkey more than once or twice a year?

[saffirebleu.livejournal.com]

I heart you.

Me ♥ Jill long time.

I applaud.

If we had full turkey dinners more often than on every fourth Thursday in November, we might all appreciate Thanksgiving as something more than a day to have turkey.

Kudos to you, my friend. Kudos.

That's true. I never really thought about it that way, but it's true. For the record, I was out of cranberry sauce last night because we eat it all year long as well, and I'd forgotten to get any for this specific meal.

Turkey's not special. The time spent together is.

you tend to make a turkey dinner about this time every year, don't you?? ;)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Probably. I also made one back in June, and one in February. I can't remember what I made for Easter this year. Turkey is definitely not just for Thanksgiving in this house.

(But I love that you remember. *warm fuzzies*)
