While many of you may be relaxing in a turkey-induced stupor after your Thanksgiving celebrations, our family will getting together this Saturday.
Somehow I am going to manage fitting 22 people in my dining room/living room without having anyone sitting outside in the cold.
Somehow.
I'm just about ready. Only a few more things to pick up at Costco tomorrow (since I figured that might be the one safe place to go on the most-wretched-of-all-shopping-days).
And we are extremely blessed to have some lovely neighbors that are going to let us stuff some of the over-abundance of food we are preparing into their oven. We were planning on deep frying our turkey until I went to Walmart to buy the peanut oil and had to spend $42 JUST FOR THE OIL.
Seriously? I already spent $20 on the turkey and somehow spending $62 for a dead bird just doesn't seem right. So it's on to plan B. The oven baked birdie.
Not that I'm cheep or anything.
:-O
ReplyDeleteThat better have been a barrel of peanut oil if they were asking for $42.
:-O
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend.
how was the oven cooked turkey??? the whole frying thing is overrated anyways - unless someone else is doing it and paying for the oil!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope Thanksgiving turned out well :-) I am with you a $62 turkey seems over kill. How did it all go?
ReplyDeleteOh wow. $62 just to serve a turkey? Nope; I'd be roasting too.
ReplyDeleteCheep. Heh!
