on two pieces of toasted rye, slathered(and there is no more suitable word than slathered) with Miracle Whip, is one of the good things, yes it is.

I brined the turkey per Alton Brown- some vegetable stock, some kosher salt and brown sugar, peppercorns, ginger, a few other things. Sat in the briney icewater from ten wednesday to noon thursday. Then it was just “stick in a bag and cook”. Turned out yummy. Other than that, the daughter helped the wife with the lions share of the other cooking. And it was all most excellent. I killed a sweet potato pie, just to watch it die.

I’m tickled to have a roof over my head. To have a good gig. To have good friends. For the generosity of those friends. For the health of my family. And for the people who come here to listen to me rant.

I have a great deal to be thankful for, and believe me, I am. I also have debts of gratitude to repay; I have unsettled IOU’s I need to settle. God grant me the time and strength to settle them.
