being lazy today

so lazy i cannot describe thanksgiving again so this is what i wrote to the NewsBlog

i was prepared to give thanks that i was not cooking anything at all for the dinner bc my grandson and his girlfriend and friends from back east were putting on the ritz / they had two turkeys one for her to roast and one for him to deep fry / the guests cranked out a phalanx of pies / but somehow the gf's turkey ended up in my oven and so i made the gravy too / for which i was thankful after all / that all of them pitched in was wonderful and heartwarming / but of course, as Jane Smiley wrote on huffington post there is always someone who cries over the food / in my case it was the sheer volume of food that i fear will go to waste / whilst cleaning up i heard my daughter saying Save the Bones, Save the Bones / why, whatever for / oh we make broth and so on

it was a nice day / ironically we have a spare turkey here at my daughter's house / she lives next door to me / as luck wd have it the NYT showed how to make a turkey confit with thighs, wings, legs, garlic, herbs, salt and two quarts of olive oil

i have never made a confit before so that is how i will spend the day

btw, as i wrote on the foodblog about mash taters with cream cheese the grandkid did 'em up to our highest standard of mash taters / yay

Miss Tickle is making us lose our killer belly fat

she says to keep our heart drumming along nicely it is essential to dump the killer belly fat

she makes Caterina, our Cugina della Cucina, promise to stop doubling the amount of butter in every recipe

Caterina has to make a lot of stuff with fiber like Humdingers, her tasty fiber cookies

and we have to eat hot cereal with hemp seed meal thrown in

and cut down on godblossom as it makes us indiscriminately munch

like, you know, the blind munchies

pasta only every ten days

mezzo porzione / that's half a portion of pasta

we feel better already

can you pee a pound ?

<<>>

we weigh ourselves in the morning when we get out of bed in our night clothes

night clothes are usually lightweight linen

later when we get dressed we become naked and then we weigh a pound less than with the night clothes on

one morning we got naked and weighed ourselves and then we peed and then we weighed ourselves again / just curious, you know

we weighed another pound less

did we really pee a pound ?

son.out.law sez just because a scale is digital doesnt mean it is accurate


note : we is the royal we / or maybe the royal weewee

iWeb urls
