The One Where I Go Crazy
Anyone else ready to lose their cool? Just me and every other woman on the planet you say? Okay, as long as I'm not alone.
Honestly, despite my crazy to-do list, I'm handling Thanksgiving prep okay. Thank goodness I got a random spurt of energy last week and went into germaphobe mode, cleaning my house. Gives me plenty of time this week to concentrate on the most important part of Thanksgiving -- the food.
(You totally thought I was going to say something like gratitude, blessings or family, didn't you? Well I'm grateful for savory goodness, which is also a blessing. And butter is like family, right?)
Yesterday I got a bunch done. Made my Hot Orchard Apple Spice Pies, tested a few last minute recipes, cleaned my turkey and started the brining process and I even got all of my veggies chopped and ready to go. Oh, I also made my bacon herb butter and froze it ready to be cut into slices and stuffed violently under the skin of my bird. It's painfully delicious.
Today I've got a massive list of things to do before tomorrow.. so until then, here's a gorgeous picture of my bird sitting in it's pretty brine, just begging to be stuffed.
