Today I cooked a turkey by basting it with my unborn child’s ear syringe (remind me to buy a new one of those). This was the first turkey I have ever cooked and my first Thanksgiving away from home. It was just Scott (husband) and me and it was wonderful. We walked to Verdi Mart this morning for sodas and Hubig’s pies, as I was not prepared to cook turkey and bake a pie at the same time. It was a beautiful day today, perfect for keeping the balcony doors open and enjoying the cool breeze. Even though throughout the day our across the street neighbors were playing the “Let’s all jump on the train to help New Orleans” CD, which was a tad depressing for Thanksgiving music but whatever.
