time for a break!
all the cleaning and scrubbing and preparing and I'm pooped! add on the watching the kids each morning and taking them to school and picking them up and doing their homework and I am exhausted - just can't wait till turkey day is over
this year will be quiet for us - but I will be cleaning a turkey for the kids to help out their mom this year - it's been rough since her mom died - so I'll clean and get her turkey ready - I bought her a nice covered roaster to use and a meat thermometer - and a turkey platter - so I'll get it all ready for the oven and run it over to their house while my bird is in the oven - all she has to do is pop it in the oven - and I will make the gravy for her too to save time (for her) - I have to cheat with the gravy since we won't have the pan drippings to use - but I can do it
then I'll run back home to make our pasta dish (wouldn't be thanksgiving without one) and make enough for everyone going to her house and run that over when it is done -
then it's home to finish our meal so we can eat
can't make the pasta too early - no one has room on the stove or in the oven! but this way her family can enjoy it
right now I am just looking forward to doing our dishes and clenaing up the kitchen after we have our dinner - then I will know that turkey day is over and I can rest............
