The Monday Meeting
Good morning, y'all! Pour yourself a cup of coffee and join me out here on the deck. It's a bit dreary, but there's a breeze!
Let's catch up.
We spent the weekend with King Pen's parents in Luzianne. We played hard, the kids were dirty little puppies all weekend. It's so nice to see them living it up in the country... it makes the 5 1/2 hour drive worth it. We attended my niece's baptism on Sunday, and a celebratory feast afterwards. It was lovely! (Thanks, Amy & Aaron!) We stopped off to meet my folks on the drive home, and they took Czarina, HeroBoy, and the Duke until Tuesday. So, it's just me and Chipmunk today. We have plans, oh yes we do. Plans to clean, and shop, and tickle! It'll be nice.
What else? Chipmunk got FOUR teeth yesterday. Really. There was one little tooth poking through on the top, and an hour later, there were four. Surprisingly, he was in a great mood! Easiest teething ever. But WAH!!! I am NOT ready! He's our last bebe, as far as we're planning, and every milestone is bittersweet for me. It's sad to leave the baby years behind, ya know? -sniff- I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
*composing myself
In other news, Dumbledore is not gay. She just said that for attention. He's not, he's not, he's not.
Moving on.
So, in preparation for Thanksgiving, Martha Stewart has an article on brining your turkey before roasting it. Anybody do that? Does it make a big difference? I'm all for trying it this year. I like turkey, but it's so dry. Maybe this would help.
Also, it looks like it's time to stop washing my hair with shampoo. I've been saying I was just waiting for it to get cooler... and now I've talked myself into a corner. It's cooler. And now I've got to walk the walk. *gulp
I'll be blogging it, of course. Because if I am going to have gross hair for six weeks, I want you to share my pain. It's the least you can do. Also, try not to stare at my turban during week two. And when I finally reach that hair nirvana, when my locks are shiny and fluffy and beautiful, give a sister a high five, won't ya? Then it's your turn.
Okay, I'm gonna get started on my day. I'll upload my pics from the weekend sometime later... so you can see just how dirty my kids were, and how clean my hair was, one last time.

We always brine our turkey (or chicken) before putting it on the rotisserie. It comes out so moist and yummy. And thinking about it, I think we did that before frying it last year as well.

Hmmmm... I never thought of brining the turkey... or the chicken... altho I always used to do that when my favorite hunter brought fresh venison... took that 'gamey' taste right out of it...

Did the brine last year and loved it. Gave the recipe to my sis and she tried it and loved it too! Very juicy! Just have to find a big enough pot to sit it in and then spare room in the fridge till it's done.
You know, there are other ways to cut time out of your day...you don't have to give up washing your hair as one of them??!! Do you need some suggestions? LOL
