After dinner meeting — after watching me prep, cook, cuss, wash dishes, wrestle raw poultry, spill stuff on the floor, and take out every possible dish, pot, baking sheet, spoon, sieve, and knife, we split a deboned 🍗 with some mashed 🥔 for dinner 🍽️

Nap time 💤

3 bandaids, a lost bolt on poultry shears, dishpan hands from too many dishes washed, a singed handle wrap for cast iron pan.

But I won. Spatchcocked turkey 🍗 turned out well. Parents were highly complimentary at our celebration earlier today. 🏆

Spatchcocking a (mostly thawed) 20lb turkey - not easy, folks! 👩‍🍳🔪

The carcass is now dry brining. 🧂🧂🧂

Roasting veg 🧅🥕🧄 and other turkey 🍗 bits for stock and then gravy.

Dressing breadcrumbs 🍞are dried out and awaiting action. Tomorrow, my pretties.

Kitchen is a disaster. Ugh. 🪣🧹🧽🫧

Turkey defrost (in fridge) commenced!

24 hrs for every 4-5lbs.

Then, Dry Brine 24-48hrs (also in fridge).

Roast.

I will enjoy it next Thursday despite family making other plans, which I will not be joining.

Garage cleanout is about 60% finished - there are 8 remaining 📦 to sort thru.

Started kitchen revamp. Hoo-boy. So much stuff I don’t use…. but might? My 🧠 asks.

Firm no. Donate / give away / toss.

Motivated today, working through some pre-holiday anger 😡. Dogs avoiding me too.

Fml… popular fast food restaurant included sauces for my salad that I didn’t request. Silly me, read the allergens line and not the ingredient list.
Soy is an allergen!
Not life-threatening but it’s gonna be a miserable afternoon..

Morning meeting : slow motion snatching of beloved stuffie.
Result: large husky boi successfully snatched that stuffie and ran outside.

#DogsofBluesky

Scene 1: Two huskies lying nose to nose with somewhat obscured toy between them. Scene 2: seconds later, two huskies lying nose to nose turn their heads slightly to contested stuffie, positioning to either keep control or snatch it. Scene 3: large husky boi making his move to snatch stuffie from Sister husky while she stares hard at him. Their noses are about 1” apart.

Started on garage clean-up today. 📦🧹🗑️ Ugh.
Kitchen gadget, dishes, misc is next. Then the basement storage area.
So many donations, things to sell, things to free-cycle IF I can tolerate the clutter.
5.5 years in this house 🏡 and it’s time ⏰

Meeting after the meeting : this handsome guy was such a good boi for his allergy shot today. Relief is near immediate and he is much happier. My wallet 💸 not so much.

Evening meeting : loooong husky boi spills off the dog bed. Though he looks and acts like husky, he is long and broad like his GSD dad.

Grilled cheese 🍞🧀 and tomato soup 🥫🥣 season is hitting hard since Day Light Saving Time expired. Have no explanation; just eating something warm and soothing appeals to me rn

Large husky boi lies on small corner of dog bed currently occupied by sister husky and her trusty Kong toy bear stuffie. Both are looking towards camera, expectantly.

Morning meeting: new friend joining in after-breakfast nap. Has a friend somewhere out in the yard.
Sister husky adores stuffies; large husky boi only likes them when stolen from sister.

Early morning meeting : Breezy and her stalker, large husky boi. She has amazingly symmetrical head. Large boi looks a little wonky, he’s healing up but meds make him dopey.
