1:40 am
sprite

hi sweetie *hugs* great to see you, I missed you. I am doing pretty okay and the wing is having the pt in bafflement. He cannot believe how much I can already do again. Pain is manageable. He gave me a massage though... the brute! Still sore. But it helped.

1:40 am
sprite

I am not jealous but god I wish I was there with you :D
1:42 am
grannyrose

groovy and i hit the shops, just us. so lovely to do such a girly thing without worrying about what the other half was feeling, doing, saying.
1:42 am
sprite

very much so
1:43 am
grannyrose

wish you were here too. we had a great night with herinfer and her other half. such a lovely man. quiet, gentle, but a good sense of humour.
1:45 am
sprite

those are the best. I have a soft spot for herinfer. Still remember the shock on hearing her using St Johns wort and antidepressants.
1:45 am
sprite

I am going strong with translating. Still a lot to do, but steadily getting there.

1:53 am
grannyrose

have bought the round needle to knit Don's beanie. i honestly don't know how people use the four needle system. i only made it to row two, then pulled it all out. have beeb knitting more mini teddies. the little jumper i designed was a bit too big. have to reduce width by 20 stitches. it should be perfect then. also have bought the 4 ply cotton yarn to knit for baby girl in Thailand. my sister-in-law's grand-daughter. i have so many projects on the go. not bored any more...lol
1:53 am
sprite

sounds fantastic, honey
1:55 am
grannyrose

oh and when i unpacked the boxes from 20 years ago i found some incredible retro floral print material. enough for a dress for me. and all my patterns, and yarns, and needles from before i was divorced. fingers are becoming very agile, and strong again.
1:55 am
sprite

How was your Thanksgiving Carla?
8:05 am
hokie carla

good, how was yours? I'm doing more cooking this morning as my brothers and niece are on their way.
8:06 am
MollyL

It was great. I tried dry brining this year and it turned out great. All the flavor and none of the mess.
8:08 am
hokie carla

interesting. is that just like a dry rub?
8:08 am
hokie carla

I have never done brining, just do what my mom did with the roasting bag.
8:09 am
hokie carla

I have a new oven and it has a probe, so that was nice because it would estimate how much time to go.
8:22 am
MollyL

It is like a dry rub, with kosher salt in it. I also put butter between the skin and the meat and stuff the turkey with carrots, onion and celery. Makes for a great smell while it's roasting.
8:23 am
MollyL

One year, I would love to have a double oven. It always gets so crowded warming things up in just one.
8:27 am
hokie carla

my new oven is the GE Twin Flex - it is a double oven in the footprint of a single. was so nice to have! using both ovens right now. the lower, bigger one can hold up to 14lb turkey, which is plenty for us.
8:36 am
72 Temple Owl

good morming. the two chefs at thanksgiving smoked their turkeys. they were great.
8:40 am
MollyL

The weirdest way I have heard to cook turkey is underground. That is a lot of work to cook a turkey. I guess if you're camping.
8:41 am
rururocks

does it come with grave-y
8:42 am
hokie carla

for years my mom did a turkey breast in a crock pot because she didn't have a working oven
8:42 am
MollyL

I have never cared for meat cooked in a crock pot. It gets too mushy.
8:42 am
72 Temple Owl

interesting. for me, turkey is the centerpiece. my favorite. so the son in law outdid the fil, becuase he let the turkey rest and injected it with a butter herb mixture. and they brined for the first time. first time i ever had turkey there that was...edible.
8:43 am
MollyL

A lot of the traditional ways of cooking a turkey, like basting it, are what dries it out.
8:44 am
MollyL

Also, the original recommended cooking times were way too long.
8:45 am
72 Temple Owl

alo the size. white dries out before the dark is done. i cook the breast only and it's never dry.
8:47 am
72 Temple Owl

cooling two smaller ones helped a lot. i remember my grand father taking me with him to select the bird. gost they were huge!
8:49 am
72 Temple Owl

i hope everyone's day was as they wished. new baby this year, center of the day. cute. quiet. got to try a bunch of new foods and she loved mashed potatoes.
8:55 am
MollyL
