ACK! So much to do yet!!!

T-Minus 3 hours before Turkey Dinner, 1.5 hours before my first guest arrives, and I am BUSY! 

Appropriate icon is appropriate, yo.  Well, except for the bank part...



OMG, I can't wait to tell you guys all about my UNRULY TURKEY.  Last nights mishap is only the tip of the 'berg.  For now?  BACK TO WORK!

A Turkey in the Freezer, a Turkey on the Couch. Which One Will Win?

So uh, I'm hosting a Thanksgivings Day dinner at my place on Monday. I even have a 12 lbs turkey sitting in my freezer. Now I just need to figure out what the heck to do with it...

This should be an interesting holiday.

Happy Canadian...Eggs?


HAPPY CANADA DAY! :D

I was hoping to do a nice post about why I'm proud to be Canadian, but then I spend all morning and this afternoon reading articles on arsenic geochemistry and mobility in a wetland (hullo thesis topic, nice to see you again), and my brain is now mush.

Instead, I'll share my gem of a find this morning. After reading [personal profile] copperbadge post on receiving unordered pre-hardboiled, pre-shelled eggs, I laughed pretty hard when I found these at the grocery this morning.

Yes, I bought a pack (at 99 cents, eep!).  Yes, they were pretty tasty, if a little rubbery and disturbing when I thought too long about it.  No, I won't buy them again.  It was a novelty and made me laugh, so was worth the money paid the one time!

Actually, I think the most disturbing part of this was the they "expire" when unopened at the end of July.  End of July!  I don't even think my fresh uncooked eggs have that long of a shelf life.

And yet, strangely, I'm now craving hard boiled eggs.  Guess I know what I'm having for supper.  ;)


So that's what you get for Canada Day.  Hard-boiled eggs.  I think it's appropriate! 



...uh, don't think too hard on that one.

I'm Home!!

I'm back in Kingston!  My luggage, meanwhile, is in Montreal Quebec, but should be back from its adventures tomorrow morning.  I'm not really complaining because this way they send my suitcase to my house via cab, and I didn't have to haul it home myself!  Oh my gosh heavy!

Happy 2010 everyone!
