That's interesting, but boy, I really don't want to think about it that much

I was just joking. He's in jail

You omitted that part in your rant post #3507

I know that a lot of you will go to grill a turkey very soon, I want to give you a culinary tip to make it much, much tender an tasty! You should steam it fir 30-50 min, before you put it in the oven! This draw show you how to build a steaming device from a pot, aluminum foil, and a basket pot!
You should use a mix of honey mustard and Tarragon to cover it, or if you can get a 100% pure date syrup, called Silan its better!

Traditionally we roast our turkeys in the oven, basting with butter and pan juices, and most serve the monstrous Broad Breasted 14-25 lb turkeys. I'm cooking either an 8 and 14 pound heritage, or 3 8 pounders, however it plays out. One of them will be roasted over wood in the smoker.

I've never heard of steaming a turkey. Interesting concept.

Ok, I'm about to get very busy at work, so I don't have time to wait for permission

Most people will say "Awe hon", or be supportive because they don't want to say anything that offends. Luckily I don't have that gene

You start your morning by saying "I'm depressed".
Narcissist rule number 1: Be happy. Even if it inconveniences others, you owe it to yourself and your husband to be happy. If you are already depressed because of something you volunteered to do, don't volunteer. Now you are dreading it, your husband has a depressed wife, and you will resent the parents of the kids because you are going to have a very stressful day.
Rule #2: Get over the silly stuff that doesn't last. It's one day. You have already convinced yourself of "how my day is going to play out". You're setting yourself up for failure. You volunteered, it's done, don't make it any harder on yourself than it already is by being in a depressed mood before it even starts. Believe me, I know about Thanksgiving depression... It will be over soon. No need in getting yourself all worked up over something that is fleeting. People suck, the Holidays suck, and that's just how it is. Take my motto to heart: Flock 'em

And while I'm at it, let me go ahead and alienate half of the thread:
"  [COLOR=FF0000]see how women just have to think ahead and already create issues that are not there yet? but they will be there because we always KNOW these things?[/COLOR]"

Exactly, and you all realize it, but you still do it. Dreading something that hasn't even happened yet. I'm speaking as a husband here, it drives me insane. It's life, stuff happens, and a lot of it sucks, but it passes. Why build some small event into this huge thing that ruins your day, I'm guessing ruins your husbands day, and you will be mad at yourself tomorrow for being this way? Don't think ahead, take it as it comes. It may not be that bad. I will say that is a big difference between men and women, at least in my case. Women like to prepare for the worst so they can be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't turn out so bad. Men would rather be happy, not needlessly dread something that may not be so bad, then just complain and raise hell about it for a few hours if it does turn out bad. Then it's over.
I'm not saying one is right or wrong. Women are too emotional, men aren't emotional enough. There has to be a happy medium in there somewhere, but the extremes either direction are unhealthy for both of us, and cause problems where there shouldn't be problems.
Try looking at it a different way. You are getting to whelp, and the grandkids are coming over. What a glorious day e
If it all heads south and starts falling apart, take a blue one, take a pink one, wash it down with a martini, and flock 'em
OK, off to work

I'm confused I got smacked for telling her to wash them down with a vodka milkshake...at 7:30 pm...but you tell her a martini in the am...the milkshake was better by the way....just sayin....

Enough time had passed that the ingredients of the original milkshake may have been forgotten

I won't comment on all of it, but this one item needs a response.

Quote:
Now, my way is to think through the bad that can happen (like where is the nearest hospital if someone crashes one of the dirt bikes into a tree, or if we break it, how far and in which direction will we need to go to recover it) and then go out and have fun anyhow. Risks are considered in order of likelihood of negative effects...only rarely will they impact activities, like if DH wants to cut a tree leaning over the camper without using ropes, pulleys and the truck to pull it back in a safe direction. I am a constructive "worrier", I just want to keep my life at peace by eliminating things that would take away from my leisure by making more work for me. So I guess I am just as much narcissist as you.

Oh, believe me, I omitted a lot...

You sure did!

 

[LittleLakePhil]

Yeah but that wasn't my milkshake.....I actually went to McDonald's last night....gosh.....the smack didn't hurt anyway....you need to work out or something......haha

 

[WVduckchick]

I'm beginning to think that someone hung signs everywhere saying that I needed everybody to stop in my office and ask me for something today!!

Phil -- I'll take that milkshake now...
