Thanksgiving was great. jj made a pumpkin, apple, and pecan pies. I only tasted the pecan, because really why would you even make the others. It was very good. I made a turkey and some stuffing. I think that my turkey needed a bit of work, I thought that it would be amazing with all the cooking wine and butter I put on it. The name of the recipe is “Worlds Best Turkey,” but I think it did not cook long enough. It was long enough to be safe, but not long enough to be tender. However, I did make some stuffing that was amazing. So good. The recipe follows:

Cranberry, Sausage, Apple Stuffing

Yum, it calls for vegetable broth, but does not say what to do with it, I dumped a cup on the stuffing in the pan before I cooked it. I also did not cook it inside the turkey. I really do not like the idea of shoving bread and otherwise good food into the internal cavities of animals.

I went to McDonald’s yesterday with some of my neighbors. I finally surrendered my hopes of not ever going to the germ infested play land with the golden arches. Gentry played, I watched from a distance and talked to the neighbors. They watched their kids from a distance also. From a distance your kids really are cute. It is when they are screaming in your arms and beating their head into yours that they are really not that cute. It is those times that you want throw them back across the room so that they can become cute again.

It was the first year check up for my son today. He was doing fine until the nurse came in with a sachel full of needles, (immunizations, they call them). He had SIX SHOTS today, including his flu shot. I felt so bad. He had three in each leg. The nurses finished up and blew the smoke from their smoking pistols. Gentry and I both left in tears.
