The turkey is in the oven…

Yep, Turkey in July!

A kind of perfect storm of circumstances:

  • the chuck roast on sale that I intended to get for my Sunday dinner was sold out.
  • my favorite brand of turkey was on sale at a near Thanksgiving day price.
  • the weather was forecast to be very cool.

And homemade rolls!

It took a day to thaw the bird and then my Monday work schedule got hectic, but this morning, after a Monday that didn’t break 60F…that bird went in the oven at 6:00 a.m. It should be done by 9-9:30 and then into the frig. I’ll deal with carving, etc. at lunch time and my turkey dinner will be a “heat up” when the time is right and I can enjoy. AND, I will have lots of leftovers in the freezer!

Proof of the cool morning: long pants and Auggie on my lap.
