So how things are going. The butterball 3lb turkey breast ball was rinsed, debagged, basted with oil and set in a Corning wear pan. The oven preheated to 325°, and the turkey roll placed in the centre of the lower rack. This is where it will stay for 3.5-4 hours. Once the turkey comes out to rest, I’ll turn the oven up to 450°, and will pop in the pre cooked baby potatoes on a cooking pan, brushed with oil & dusted with vegetable salt for flavour. Canned potatoes are not known for being particularly flavorful. They should take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes, all going well. On top of the stove I have four pans. One is corn, one green beans, one is straight up peas, and the last is for Stove Top Stuffing. I have cranberry sauce ready to go, and rolls for the table. I didn’t go ahead and make any kind of homemade desserts, because why would I. I’m inept, not a masochist. We have ice cream if the kids actually eat their dinner this time around. I like carrots but opted to keep them off the menu.
Any left overs can get eaten tomorrow or go to my inlaws who currently have Covid.


Early hours yet. But thus far no major errors in judgement. Still have more than 3.5 hrs to go! Fingers crossed for us all. Ciao Bella!
