Nov. 25th, 2004 03:06 amDone since last post:
Cooked and packed up corn pudding. It's a little lighter in color and creamier than Mom's, but it tastes right. All it needs is a little more oven time when I get to NY.
Took a nap.
Peeled, sliced, slathered with butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and cider the sweet potatoes. They're currently in the oven. My fingertips are kinda stained orange.
Got most of the dishes I made washed. Will do the rest before I leave.
So barring me burning the potatoes, midnight thanksgiving cooking is a success. It's weird... this is the first time I've made anything for Thanksgiving besides the easy stuff. Here's hoping the army of crazed starving wolverines that await my arrival like my stuff.
Getting picked up in 2.75 hours, so I'm going to rest on my laurels until the potatoes are done and then run around like a headless chicken getting everything packed up. Soooooo happy I'm taking the train down to NY... after all this I need some kickback time. Think I'll take a couple of DVDs with me, since I'm taking the laptop. either that or I'll write... goodness knows I write better in the city anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. *hugseveryone*
