Sweet Success
I woke up this morning to pick up Kenna from the airport. She looked much taller and skinnier. I was commenting on that when she said she wished she was shorter. What kind of backwater country did this girl come from? Oh yeah, Vietnam. Anyway, I disregarded her statement knowing full well she will one day how lucky she is to tower over people. Or is that just a dream I once had?I proceeded to the supermarket to pick up some canned corn, au gratin potatoes, chips, and a pumpkin pie. The turkey was already in the over and roasting something fierce. I also had a large sirloin in there for kicks. I realized that there is absolutely nothing to do today but wait until around 5 PM to start cooking. Kim called for some uber grub at a new place she found but I already had lunch with my sister at Pho Tau Bay. "See ya later diet!" as I wolfed down a large Bun bo hue. The rest of the day was spent watching TV and lazing around. My sister arrived at 5 with her husband and his mother.
I have to brag. That was some mighty fine eatin'. The turkey came out tender and juicy. Didn't even need gravy. I normally don't like the turkey but I had to actually stop myself from eating too much of it. Everyone doubted me but I showed them. The sirloin came out medium but was hard to cut. My sister said I should cook turkey every thanksgiving. Thanks for the compliment but I am a lazy fool. My cousin liked the au gratin potatoes. Go figure. All in all, another successful cook out courtesy of yours truly. I love cooking. If only there were more days off like this for me to do it. Merry Christmas!
