kengrStupid cooking time guide was *way* off. ook a nap, got up way before earliest time turkey should be ready.
Checked it and the thingie had popped up. And the thermometer showed the stuffing was well past the required temp too.
Texted Fay and started getting other things ready. Turned off oven, but had to leave turkey in roasting pan in oven due to lack of apace while preparing everything else.
Fay got here but had bad headache, so I wound up doing the rest of the prep and cooking.
Goofed on last item. Made the last package of turkey dressing instead of first package of cornbread dressing.
Turkey was somewhat dry, but tolerable. Green beans were ok, but need a boit something besides the bacon. Have to think on that before Christmas.
Fay had servings of stuff but had to lie down. I turned out living room lights and left just the light over the stove on. That gives me enough light to use the computer or read, without making it hard for her.
When she wakes up, I'll offer her some pie, and put together a package of leftovers for her to take home. We can eat more leftovers and watch more stuff on TV (Including the rest of Alice's Restaurant) tomorrow when she should be feeling better.
Much re-arranging of fridge so I can get leftovers into it.
Also decided to start playing the extensive Xmas music collection (at low volume). It's sort of after Thanksgiving, and I *do* need to go thru all of it to find anything the new media server will choke on.

Date: 2011-11-25 03:17 pm (UTC)Have you noticed your oven cooking fast before? Oven controls are notorious for being at least a little off. I have to set mine about 25F higher than recommended to get reasonable cooking time.
AIGH! Too early for Christmas music! :-^) (Was actually complaining about this yesterday. Local station has already switched to playing "holiday" music part of the day.)
