Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

So I take a pause from the Photo Contests for a couple months, and I just check the recent winners and I get first place in each of the three contests I entered. I guess the new camera really did pay off!

Congrats.

Congrats.

Thanks. I like to believe it puts me into WDWMagic royalty.

Ok Mr. Turkey, get happy for 15 mins.

Mr. Turkey there is a Butterball Pre-stuffed. Absolutely idiot-proof. Even JenniferS-proof. I have yet to goof one up!

King Push - in my best Minion voice.

That might just trump a Duke.

I have yet to meet a Duke who has won the prestigious WDWMagic Photography Contest Award.

But if it makes you feel any better it's also Brett Favre's 46th birthday.

He's some sort of sportsball player, right?

A block of cream cheese and a container of sour cream. Please and thank you.

Nothing can be bad with cream cheese and sour cream.

I make the mashed potatoes, with butter, sour cream and creamed cheese the day before. Then I put them in a buttered crock pot container, and stick them in the fridge overnight.
Next morning/day, you put them in the crock pot to warm up while you do the turkey, gravy, veg, etc.

Considering doing the potatoes is my least favourite part, it's nice to get it out of the way the day before.

There are quite a few recipes online. Almost all call for sour cream and creamed cheese, so they must be vital in some respect.

I imagine the sour cream and cream cheese keep them from drying out.

This is a fantastic idea and I wish I had thought of it earlier. I think crockpots are amazing!

Don't even mention the pillows in front of Hubby.
It's the only thing he yells at me about.
I just smile, and threaten to buy more.

Why do men have such a problem with pillows?! Always with the complaining.

 

[JenniferS]

Okay, so that is clearly not my dining room table in the background.
Yes, I prefer dark meat.
The potatoes are to die for.
And in case you're wondering, I ate the carrots first.

Definitely not my usual girly girl kind of housecoat, but I had to have it! I love ToT merchandise.

I love it so much! <3

Did you have to call in the plumber after everyone had all that roughage.

Hubby will be home in just less than an hour.

This gives me time for a 20 minute nap.
Two of them, even.

Later, Peeps.

I spent this afternoon napping. I never get to do that. Hubby played with the kids all day. So nice.

I have all the fixings to do up a couple of plates, make a truckload of sandwiches, and then a big pot of turkey soup.

Yay, leftovers! I'll be over shortly. I'll even bring my own plate and silverware, so you won't have more dishes to do.

 

[French Quarter]

Me too, until the time that I donated an amount that I could afford to them, only to have a follow up letter Thanking me for my donation, however, it, according to them was not enough, to help them do the work that they are trying to do. Please send more ASAP. I try to get past that and think of the kids, but, that approach turned me off completely. So I started to spend time and money supporting the Make a Wish Foundation. They seemed to appreciate whatever I could do. Now that I am retired and have no huge steady income, I have to be very selective in what I donate, but, I do what I can do.

That's insane! I have never heard of a charity respond to a gift by telling you that you needed to send more money. That would turn me off too.

That's my neighbour. Her son works for that plumber. He used to work for Rogers Plumbing, so this white van is recent.

I hope it tasted as good as it looked!

I clean up as I go. My roaster was washed and put away before Hubby even carved the turkey.
