GOOD MORNING! HAVE I HAD ENOUGH COFFEE YET?!?!
I DON'T THINK SO!!
So far so good re Thanksgiving.
Shopping for needed supplies, check.
Turkey I should have started defrosting on Monday quick thawed, check.
Friendly bickering over the Right Way to make stuffing, check.
Caro allowed to make it her heathen way, check.
Stay up too late despite good intentions, check.
Say The Bad Words at alarm clock, check.
Stuff turkey and start it cooking for noonish meal, check.
Start reading LJ since I will never get back to sleep after drinking a double Velvet Chocolate expresso, check.
Here is an oldie but goodie, the Thanksgiving Weather Forecast:
Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon
high near 190oF. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother
the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.
During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice
through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on
plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce
creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.
A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire
area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway.
During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers,
dropping to a low of 34oF in the refrigerator.
Looking ahead to the next two days, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be
established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50
percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming
trend where soup develops.
By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will
be the bone.
