I can't help laughing

U.S. to North Korean leader: No iPods for you!

I know it is wrong as the situation for the people leaving in and near North Korea is bad, but the headline really made me laugh. bad "Dear Leader" bad.... you go to bed without dinner like the rest of your country.... or at least no iPods for you

T day

Yes thanksgiving was lovely. would have been lovelier had
1. The turkey been cooked all the way when the thermometer read 180 (general consensus at work was bill and i must have hit a bone and that is what made is spike)
B. I could have tasted all the stuff I was making instead of relying on other peoples' tastebuds. (also would have been cool if i hadn't needed a nap midday)
III. We taken some time to really enjoy what a beautiful day it was. perfect day for a walk in the park or around the block, or even some fetch with duffers in the back yard.

Otherwise, dinner was great Bill and I are still eating turkey left overs (though I must say the turkey panini and turkey mac-n-cheese are probably not the "normal" ways of eating left overs)

Things to do again:

*Pre order the turkey fresh -not frozen- for pickup (though i think i would pick up on wednesday morning not thursday)
*Brine the turkey. I really belive this works. (though next year i think i'll be back to my sugar an kosher salt routine -who knew mortons would run out of kosher salt?!?)
*Make as much ahead of time as possible. (though with a functioning oven and less people it is easier to make some things the day of so they don't chill in the fridge)
*Pumpkin pie ice cream. I have the basics down for the making of the sweet treat so i think this is a must do... I think it would be good even in the summer (though i would love to try my hand at cranberry ice cream like they had on tv last night)
*Have mom and duffy-dog there. (though it would be great to get BOTH of my brothers next time)
