Well, I am cooking this huge elaborate meal for my mama, my brother and m_fallenangel.
I already cooked a pumpkin pie with a walnut pie crust last night. Damn, that shit is good. Plus, I make my own cinnamon/nutmeg whipped cream too. *slurp*
The main dish is: Turkey marinated in olive oil, sea salt, fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme, Pinot Griot and a herb infused green apple is inserted in its arse for aroma/moisture. Homemade cranberry sauce made from fresh berries, Grand Marnier, Port, sugar, orange juice and zest. Stuffing with golden raisins and dried cherries, garlic mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, dinner rolls and corn. Assorted beverages and cocktails. You know the deal.
Nobody is allowed in my kitchen tomorrow. The moment I see feet cross from carpet to tile is when a spatula will come crashing down upon the forehead of the intruder. Mama don't play when she is in the cooking zone.
Ohoh, I started the gym (finally) and my arm and shoulder routine is kicking my out of shape ass. Heh, I can't wait to see me wrestle with a twenty-one pound bird tomorrow. I think there is going to be a story in that. ;)
Zest: citrus peel used as flavoring. The thin outer rind of the peel of a citrus fruit that is cut, scraped, or grated to yield a sharp fruity flavoring for foods and drinks.
p.s. I really miss spending Thanksgiving with friends to be honest. I wish you were coming over, I'd slip some lithium into mama's mashed potatoes and you and M could do a raindance or something. ;)

I guess the roomie is making a big meal or some such. I'll help out, clean up, probably sleep late. Just a day off. You?

(p.s. What exactly is "zest", in reference to citrus fruit?)
