Whiny Carnivores
I'm feeling so techie Martha Stewart today. CG gifted me a digital picture album this summer, populated with pictures that he let the kids choose. Needless to say, some pics chosen were down right weird...And that's been in our kitchen for the last 4 months. So today, procrastinating about cleaning and holiday cards, I updated the frame with only holiday pics from the last three years. It was impressive how many there were. I even managed to get pics of a few of our dinner guests for Christmas. Very apropos.
Speaking of dinner, I sent CG with a list after finally settling on turkey. We usually brine for 3-5 days an organic, free range Diestel turkey. Then we rub rosemary, tarragon and butter under the skin and baste with wine. This year CG's company gave us a $25 Butterball gift certificate. Whooohoo. Baby, it's going to be chemically, butterlicious! Besides, we usually have to order that type quality bird at the butcher or through PCC, and there's no time.
I sent CG with a list to go yon hither to Safeway, and he came back missing quite a few items. Safeway was completely out of cream cheese! CG's awesome cheesecake might not make an appearance after all. They were also out of red roses, fresh thyme, fresh parsley, sour cream, egg nog, most cheeses, all types of MILK, etc. I thought at first there must have been a lot of last minute shoppers like us, but CG says it's all a result of that dastardly windstorm. We'll try tomorrow because they expect a shipment. If not, we have turkey and other guests are bringing two hams and wine. Yep, a caveman's traditional yule repast of meat and whine.
