Thurs 24 Nov

Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey bird is in the oven with a brown ale basting sauce on top. Chose not to put any of the stuffing inside the bird this year to reduce cooking time and also because the new recipe did not suggest stuffing it. If we want to eat at 11:00, saving roasting time is a good idea, and really so little of the stuffing is usually inside anyway as to be negligible. Still need to get the sweet potatoes ready to pop in, the asparagus ready to roast, and the small crock pot of creamed corn ready to try. That is an experiment that I'm not sure will turn out well, but it is really an extra dish so it doesn't particularly matter. We have Costco pumpkin pie, (must whip cream!), and cranberry pudding pie for dessert. Food: 7:20 am Maple pecan coffee cake, 104 g blackberries, coffee 11:00 am Thanksgiving bounty Exercise: 2:05-3:50 pm Schmeeckle lake walk w/Bob
