Turkey Baster
So yesterday my good friend, David, took me grocery shopping to get all the food for our Thanksgiving meal. As I've mentioned before, we always have Thanksgiving at our place and invite a few friends over who are staying in town. And, yes, I cook.
As we were walking to the store, David looks at me in disgust. It was as if he had seen a vagina for the first time. And the vagina had teeth. He then says, "Dude, your ears are filthy." Gee, thanks; how sweet of you. True friends are honest so I appreciate his honesty. Since I had no q-tip, I stuck my finger in my ear, did a thorough swipe and wiped it on his jacket. Thanks for the notice.
Of course, I'm totally kidding. I wiped it on his jeans.
I picked up a 19 pound turkey from Whole Foods. I guess we'll be having lots of leftovers since there are only 7 of us. I got all the usual foods one has during this type of dinner.
The one thing I do miss about not eating with my family is the biscuits my mom would always make. My parents are southern and there is nothing like southern biscuits and gravy. Yum.
We'll pig out, giggle, tell stories and watch Steel Magnolias lots of football.
Looking forward to it.

TJ,
I was waiting to read a great story about the alternative uses for a turkey baster. Maybe you can clean that earwax out with it.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

You are SO right about the biscuits. My granny made them for every meal. Always from scratch. I miss them.

hi sticky bud,
I just randomly plopped by your site and am glad I did! I wish we had a whole foods out in the burbs of DC, I guess you're going to the new one they opened near Logan circle? Not trying to zero in on your location (or am I?) just thought it was cool to find a fellow DCer in the blogosphere.
hope your turkey was free of earwax,
