Things are under control. I was up in good time to make the stuffing
and let it cool enough to cram into the turkey. It went into the oven
at 11:30 so it will be ready to take out at 4 and sit and rest for a
while before dinner. I have peeled and slice the potatoes and trimmed
beans and put them in pots of cold water. There is also a pot of baby
carrots ready to go. I made a fruit salad with orange, pineapple,
kiwi, raspberries, strawberries, banana, a little sugar and a small shot
of rum.
Megatron roasted a butternut squash last night and it will go into the
oven before the turkey comes out.She also made a broccoli and
cauliflower salad last night. SiL is bringing cookie plates, one for
each table.
Time to sit back and watch a Christmas movie.
Merry Christmas to all

and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Lemon vinaigrette.
I'd planned shrimp, but changed my mind.
Yesterday afternoon we streamed The Christmas Chronicles on
Netflix. Love Kurt Russell channeling Elvis (again), with hookers
magically transformed into backup singers.
In the evening we watched Prep and Landing. Tonight, its sequel.
We like our Christmas movies a little on the edgy side. Re-watching
Happy! is tempting, but that's a bigger time commitment than
we want.

compound butter, a baked potato loaded with sour cream and bacon
bits, some gooey cheesy broccoli, and butter brickle ice cream with
hot fudge for dessert?

Was your turkey stuffed, as Dave's was? A stuffed turkey takes a lot

I gave it 4 1/4 hours at 350 and it sat for a half hour while I did
the other things. I turned out beautiful. The thighs were cooked
without the breasts getting dry and tough.

Butter on meat is not something that appeals to me. I don't like fat and

the most common is butter, garlic, and parsley.
Let butter soften then mix to your own tastes.
EX: 1 stick butter
1-2 minced cloves garlic
1/2-1 tsp parsley
Can up the parsley quite a bit.
mix well then refridgerate (sometimes in cute molds)
Other common additions:
Chives, fresh or dried
Garlic powder in place of fresh
curry blends in small amounts (mostly seen in Indian cuisine)
Mostly it's used with savory dishes, not much to the hot or sweet that
I have seen.

that's why the confusion. I actually googled it to be sure I was right

Try the FX version of "A Christmas Carol". That has enough edge and gloom
to make Santa cry. We watched it on Christmas Day and went to bed morose. It
was the perfect movie to finish this year.
