Thanksgiving 2019

This is the last Thanksgiving of this decade. It went by so fast. I hope you find this plan to be useful and work for you. I will be including links below to Whippowillow where I came across a video showing how to cook a turkey in 1 and ½ hours instead of 4 to 6 as we usually have to wait. 
Below will be links that I am going to use for this years meal. I will be doing daily videos on what I am doing on that particular day. Last year I cooked Thanksgiving for the first time in my life. I cooked a small chicken and this plan worked beautifully. I will never stray from it. I remember how stressed out my late mom would be every year at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. The cooking she did was good, but it seemed overwhelming. Because it was. She made everything she had to do from scratch and some of it she bought. 
Here is a list of what I am assembling: Dressing, Mini Cherry Pies (except dough), and Cheese with crackers. Keep in mind I already made the pie filling and canned it. So I just have to make the dough. This is where canning comes into play and makes life so much easier. 
Here is what I am making: Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Candied Sweet Potatoes, and pie dough. 
Here is what I am buying: King’s Hawaiian Rolls. 
That’s it. Not bad. Each day I will make a side and check the bird to make sure it’s unthawing. Here is my plan for each day:
Today - Take the bird out and place in Presto canner to unthaw.
Monday - Check bird and then make the dressing.
Tuesday - Check bird and make Candied Sweet Potatoes. 
Wednesday - Break turkey down like you would a chicken and marinade it for twenty-four hours. Make pies and Ultimate Bean Dip.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
