Happy whatever!

If you're Christian, and celebrate Christmas today: Merry Christmas!

Otherwise, I hereby forbid you from being happy today. Bah! :P

Anyway, back to my usual habit of linkage, I bring you this, a very depressing comic from somebody whose name I consistently misspell. Oh, wait, it's in the URL. Ahem: cumaeansibyl.

Question.

So, I was stuffing the turkey. But before I could stuff it, I had to pull out the remaining ice chunks. You see, when I had set it defrosting in the fridge, I had forgotten that our fridge is hopeless. It would have had a better chance of defrosting in the attatched freezer. There was no way I was going to wait any longer to cook this damn thing, so I just decided to yank out any remaining ice.

And, apparently, and l-shaped piece of flesh that seems to have a bone attatched, but which may just be a frozen organ. What is this? It was near the neck, kinda.

So, the turkey's not going to be done for at least another hour...

Maybe slightly more, as it never defrosted properly (sure as hell hope it's defrosted now....) Question. How do I know when it's done? I know, it's got that thermometer, but what does it look like when popped up?

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Mele Kalikimaka!
Kurisumasu omedeto!

If this doesn't put a smile on your face, nothing will.

Vrolijk Kerstfeest!

And nobody, I mean nobody had better burst my bubble until tomorrow, at the earliest.

It's done, it's done, it's done!

Hope it's good...

Edit: Mmmmm! It wasn't good, it was delicious! It certainly wasn't dry, which I'm told is to be feared. It was all moist, and cooked through - the meat just fell off the bones (which were nice and rich and marrowy). And the stuffing, a spinach stuffing, was wonderful. Thanks for all your help, guys.

Customers... don't suck?

This is just sweet. *hugs everybody in sight*
