Thanksgiving

the lot next door looks really big now that it's all cleared off.....they left their track-hoe and back-hoe sitting there though....don't know if they will pick them up this extended weekend or if they will be there 'til Monday maybe.....this morning after breakfast my weather page said it was 36F in Clinton, Coos Bay, and Escondido.....31 here if you factor in the windchill.....clear and bright so far, 0% chance of rain.....the pork pie came out really tasty, there's about half left....maybe a little more than half....the turkey breast roast says it can go right from freezer to oven if you want, it just takes longer to cook.....so however defrosted it is after one day in the fridge I'll still just rub it with sea salt and black pepper, sear it all round in olive oil in the iron skillet, and then put a lid on it and give it a 350 oven until the thermometer reads 165....or 'til it reaches the mark that says "turkey".....I've got chicken broth to use in the cornbread stuffing.....I'll bake a sweet potato in foil in the oven too.....pecan pie for dessert while watching some traditional Thanksgiving Day football game, whichever one is on by then.....looks like some good games are on today.....I don't get ESPN so I won't watch Clemson-Carolina....Clinton is about half-way between those two schools.....they already had their Oyster Bowl where fans from the rivals compete to see which side eats the most oysters, and whatever other stuff they cook with that.....a fundraising thing here locally.....I guess that Macy's parade must be on already, but I never watch that anyway.....football starts at 12:30 and will still be going way past my bedtime......
