I am always on vacation. I kinda like it but I always find myself doing something because I can't sit still.
So, today, I went to do some final shopping and bought 3 lbs. of green beans for $.88 per lb.; 4 more bags of cranberries because my wife ate up all of the cranberry sauce that I made; a dozen navel oranges, and other stuff including a nice fresh bottle of Grande Mariner to sip after dinner.The highlight was that I made a decadent chocolate cake for my grandson, who is a chocoholic. I enjoyed this as I got to lick the bowls with the mixture and the frosting. When I was waiting to do something else, I did a load of colors and then folded the clothes and put them away.
After that, I made the brine, chilled it in the fridge, and brined the turkey. When that was completed, I cooked the giblits in a broth heavily spiced and made with celery and carrots. Gave the dog the giblets with her kibble, and save the broth to mix and form the gravy.
The next things are going to be the sweet potatoe casserol with brown sugar, butter and cinnamon and then the greenbean casserole.
I may be too tired to eat.
