Nope, we're not talking about Glee the show today. The purpose of this post is to keep you updated with what going on since Thanksgiving. Of course, you already know what happened to Belly the cat during Thanksgiving day. What happened to him next was very similar: he ate turkey, he passed out. Rinse, wash, repeat.
Thia year's spread is a lot smaller since the number of participants are also a lot less. I managed to cook everything in under 2 hours since I put the turkey breast in the pressure cooker. After the stopper jiggles, I left it inside for 20 minutes (5 minutes per pound.) Then, I let it rest and before eating, I put the whole thing under the broiler for a couple of minutes so the skin would crisp up nicely.
It's borderline brown but still, the turkey was delish. Don't believe me? Ask Belly :)
Stuffing |
Roasted veggies, 'nuff said! |
Corn, "baked" sweet potato, and gravy |
The gravy does not have any starch. I used the blender to mix sauteed onions and garlic, cooked celery, and turkey broth together until smooth. Delicious!
Here's a video of El Gato Supremo after passing out the third time. This time around, he actually refused to eat turkey. Please don't feel bad for him. That cat had a field day and he would not refuse turkey or chicken if only his stomach was so full.
On the other note:
I won NaNoWriMo! |
Now that I'm off NaNoWriMo, my life will resume to its normalcy again. First order of business: cleaning the apartment. Then, I will get some rest and continue writing until the end of the month. The goal is not to write in November but to write frequently.
