It was a beautiful day...and I did not go out and enjoy it. I cleaned a dentist office and then did some errands on the way home. I needed to buy carrots for the turkey soup I'm making with the leftovers from the turkey I roasted on Friday. Am I confused about the date? No...I realize that Thursday is Thanksgiving and that I will be eating turkey. I will be going to Martha's house. There will be many people there and I will not get any leftovers. Almost everything will be eaten up on Thursday and whatever is left...Martha will get. That is only fair since she roasted and hosted. I like leftover turkey...so I took it upon myself to roast a turkey of my own on Friday. I did not wait until next week to do it...because Jamie is going to France.
So I made soup, mopped my kitchen floor, dozed off while reading, watched Arthur with my daughter, ran to the store to buy bread since I was too lazy to bake my own...and I am now sitting and waiting for my son and hubby to come home so we can eat! The smell is driving me crazy because I am hungry!
Hope you threw some noodles in that soup!
ReplyDeleteI somehow doubt there will be much leftover for us either. Maybe I'll have to dig up another turkey somewhere and cook it up too.
I did not get out to enjoy the day either. We enjoyed it from inside. I made two batches of strawberry jam and wielded a paintbrush instead.
Good planning ahead. I'm glad we will all be together on Thanksgiving... Except Jim.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it will be a good Thanksgiving at Martha's! I'm baking the turkey, making the dressing and pies. I doubt if we have any leftovers either.
ReplyDeleteYour Turkey Soup sounds so good!
Have a marvelous time at Martha's.
sounds like great planning, Priscilla. I love those two pictures. Your kids have grown since we were there. they look different. Allen is really starting to look like a young man instead of a young teen. I hope you are all well.
