Well, what can I say about a holiday other than it's best when you can be with the people we care for. In my case, I spent the day at home with RQS, rather then getting dressed up in nice dresses to go out to a fancy restaurant and then to see friends.
But first....
RQS was recovering from being in the hospital. After two nights in medical prison (that's what I'll call a hospital which won't release a person when the doctors say she's ready to go home), she needed a good night's sleep. And that's what she got - at least twelve hours of it. So we weren't ready to go out for an early Turkey dinner at a local diner. This forced us to fall into our backup plan which I had prepared for.
My backup for Thanksgiving was to cook some sausage based stuffing (technically, dressing, as it is never inside of a bird during the cooking process), a 2 1/2 lb. Turkey Breast, and make some Bananas Foster for dessert. (I even had another level of backup, as I had purchased 4 Large Chicken Breasts 2 days before, as I couldn't find a bird small enough to cook for 2 people.) Luckily, we had the key ingredients for a Holiday Feast, even though we didn't have the Cranberry Sauce to go with our turkey.
Around 12:30 pm / 1:00 pm, we started to make the stuffing. And this was the most labor intensive part of the meal, as we had to dry out fresh bread to ready it for use, cook the onions and celery, then cook some sausage, then mix everything together before baking it for 90 minutes. Of course, we should have started the turkey at this time, but I delayed an hour. By the time dinner was ready, it was a little after 4:00 pm. And then, our plans to visit friends in Yonkers were shot - we were both way too full to even consider getting dressed and being in a position to even have a small bite to eat with friends.
Yet, with all being said, this was a good holiday. RQS saw that I am more than willing to go out of my way for her, and I had a little fun doing the cooking for a change..
