So I used chipdrop.com to get a veritable mountain of free mulch (do recommend, got it within a week of signing up). I was digging it out today and spreading it around and the middle of the pile was so warm from composting that I wanted to crawl inside and hibernate for the winter.

doing a bad job of functiona adult today. Pain meds actually worked this morning and I ended up sleeping past noon, woopsie daisy.
Also debating with myself if I want to roast the turkey whole or spatchcock it. Not entirely uninfluenced by how silly a word spatchcock is.
I'm currently debating with myself making the gravy ahead of time or waiting and making it out of pan drippings...
Thanksgiving plan right now is to make all the wet, non-baked things ahead of time, and then just hold them in a sous-vide bath of about 100 degrees until serving time.
today's thanksgiving prep: making cranberry sauce in the microwave (exceedingly easy and effective!), and steaming eggs in the pressure cooker (first batch was perfect, second batch WOULD NOT COOK ALL THE WAY THROUGH WTF)
