HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

NOVEMBER 7th

~Be Flexible~

Today was different.  I worked on paperwork this morning and knew that I would be baking turkey later after exercise class.  I was still in my pajamas when my Husband returned HOME from a doctor's appointment.  More test were given to check out his eye health.  The test gave him a whopper of a migraine headache.  The over the counter meds didn't help.  He became very ill.

Called our Family DOC to get something else for migraines.  Waited.  I went ahead and went to class and picked up our turkey that was thawing in the COTTAGE FRIDGE.  Quick trip and I was HOME AGAIN.

Hubby was sleeping.  Prepped the Baking Bag with flour and was so upset I forgot to run cold water over turkey, pat her down and oil the bird.  This poor ole turkey went into the baking bag and then placed in the oven to bake for four hours at 325 degrees without so much as salt and pepper for seasoning.

Took a while to get prescription filled.  Had to drive into Manhattan to get new meds.  Very ill Hubby rode along with me in the car.  A three day supply of Imitrix for 67 cents.  HUBBY is resting.  Still not feeling the best.

This evening I have to be flexible.  Turkey baked alright.  She's sitting or resting in her juices.  Here in a little bit I will do my best to slice her as it is usually my Husband's job to do the carving.  I depend on him for so much.  MARTHA STEWART where are you when I need you?  GOOGLE and youtube to the rescue tonight.

Follow These Steps

1. Remove the string. Place the turkey on a carving board.  
2. Remove the legs and thighs. Cut through the skin that connects the breast and the drumstick. 
3. Remove the drumsticks. 
4. Remove the wishbone. 
5. Remove turkey breasts. 
6. Remove the wings. 
7. Slice the thigh meat. 
8. Slice the breast meat.

Think I had better be very flexible.  

I will survive.

Thanks for stopping by.
