Tim is SO Funny...

On Facebook this morning, I saw this nice bit of news about Dawney, then you can read all the sweet comments from her Facebook Friends. Tim's comment at the end took me a minute, but then I got it and quite enjoyed it. Thought you all should have a happy moment too:

Dawney told Facebook:

Comments from people:

Tim Glenn That's really nice that your job would pay to do your hair.



Oh, and GOOD JOB, Dawney, whether they pay for your hair or not!

On Fire!

This is my turkey about 11 minutes after I put it in the oven, well after I put it in the Turkey Cooker. Yes, the bag WAS on FIRE! I had to get a squirt bottle and put out the burning bag.
Nana gave me a cooker:

She used it. It worked great, but she didn't want to use it again, so she gave it to me. I was happy to have it. I only have one oven and on Thanksgiving, an additional "oven" can be a life safer. A couple of months ago I cooked a turkey breast in the cooker just to test it, make sure it worked well. It did. All was delicious.
So, this morning I prepared my turkey as usual. I buttered my brown bag, I put my turkey in the bag, stapled it up and put it in the cooker. 5 minutes later I notice a burning smell. Hmm. 4 more minutes and I see smoke. This can't be good. I called Nana to ask if she had the problem, but she was NOT home! I spoke with Bumpa and he thought that maybe the bag was too close to the cooking element, so the bag was not going to work with the turkey. He suggested I take the turkey out of the cooker and just use my oven.
I opened the lid and saw a small fire burning on the corners of the bag!!

Ok, take #2.
I prepared another bag, heated up my real oven.

And I put my turkey in the real oven.

When at first you don't succeed, try try again...

Brining the Turkey!

My first attempt at brining a turkey!

Very exciting.

Here it is in the Brining bag (which started it all...)

Now, in the very full fridge.Right next to the turkey is the ham...

I shall now make the stuffing, the pomegranate salad and maybe the plain jello...if there is room in the fridge.

Oh, I have to go grocery shopping first.

The Rolls Are Ready!

YEA! The first batch of rolls are out of the oven!

They smell good.

I'll eat one in a minute.

Hate to make you all salivate...

Thanks, Mom, for teaching me how to "fish".I couldn't decide which picture was better,

so I used them both.

Hope you don't mind.

November 1, 2011

It was another birthday for Bumpa, Bart and Adam!

And as they say, everything on "this side of the grass" is better! I was amazed at these clouds as Candice, Lola, Tom, and I flew in!
It was a GREAT day, well spent.
Here are a few pictures from the Party!

Who is taller?

Hmm, has Zak grown taller than Chase??

Great day!

Great memories!
