sleep tight xxxx

Dea


the turkey was delicious


but I got it wrong ................


it was half a turkey breast from neck to t'other end, not half a turkey.


No leg or wing .................. so no dark meat


and I love dark meat :((((


However, turkey sandwiches with white meat will be just fine for the next few days :))))

Thank you Ginns,

Nite nite all!

Dea xxx

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Sorry 'bout the Turkey Ginns !!!

Need a hug here !! - NO meat involved !!

Warm goats cheese salad is on offer !!

Dea Xxx

Poor, turkey :-(

I DO hope you enjoy it Sylvs !!!

Dea Xxx

Dea


it is half of a nice, plump small turkey :-D


Hopefully, it will be very tender.


We usually cook a 12 to 18 lb full turkey ............. but there is only the 2 of us today.

A 4 1/2 lb Turkey Sylvs !! - Surely that would be a 'chicken' ????

OOOhh - I see it is a 'Turkey half' - even so, that is a bit of a 'tiddler' ???

Dea Xxx

Sounds good enough to eat Sylvs..........Happy Thanksgiving <3



Little ones are so funny when they babble away aren't they? We nod, shake our heads, go 'oooooooh' and make funny faces. Must be hard to do all that over the phone.... :-D

Turkey is cooking :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


we'll be eating in about 30 minutes.

Turkey
candied Yams
brussels sprouts, mini carrots, raw yellow and red peppers
cranberry sauce.


and he has 2 pumpkin tarts to have as dessert


OH decided not to make gravy ............. he's the only one who has it.




we bought a 4½ lb turkey half .......... never cooked one before, so I had to research it on the web yesterday :-D :-D

J phoned early this morning ...........


in fact we were still asleep!!


First person on the line was the tiddlie ......... long chat to OH, then had to speak to me. Long discussion.


Wish I knew what he said :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


Now know what they are all getting for Christmas from us. Only have to go to one shop ................. looking for Duplo for tiddlie. Rest is already bought, order online, or give a cheque.

Don't laugh ............. OH has an eye op on Friday. Goes to China on Nov 6 for about 10 days. We leave on the train on Dec 11


so there isn't actually too much time for shopping, when all normal "doings" are included!

Very lucky indeed Cynths !!! - I wish I had something so very 'personal' like that !!

Been very busy today - grandson after Nursery (OOOppps I originally typed 'very busty !!! - That's just not me at all!!!) ;-) :-D :-D

I have spent at least 4 hours today filling in a form online to apply for a blue badge and I still haven't completed it !!!

It's no wonder people get 'put off' ! :-(

Will finish it tomorrow !

Dea Xxx

Aww Cyns, thats lovely to read your dads thoughts


.......youre very lucky

Hello Wall :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(



Had a nice time with friends and actually got OH to go out to lunch at a restaurant.... :-D :-D


Have glanced at some of my dad's 'diaries' and am quite captivated. He talks of where he has been/done/seen/heard......even to the point of

"Sirens about 3.10. Heard fly bomb crash. Bombers out at midnight."

Followed immediately by

"Caught 8.15 bus to Oxford."

Life went on I guess.


A little further down, whilst on a train...

"In a non-smoker and requested two ladies to refrain. Is it worth it?"

Maybe he had an earful from the two 'ladies' ...... ;-)




If you can't find me, you know I'll be reading the rest....... :-D

Im a bit late for breakfast :-(

Will have to go cook some Yorkshire pudding for dinner

Have you all had a good day?

Good morning Sylvs - looks like I am first down........

Thank you for breakfast - it's a porridge morning for me.


I don't think you will find any turkey leftovers. I saw Dea enjoying a sandwich late last night. She said she had the 'munchies'. :-D


Will have to go and get tidied up as we have visitors today.....~~~
