Another great mild day for us to enjoy. A bit of sun would have been nice, but the furnace does love a day off.
I do believe my sinuses are cleaned out via onion chopping today. I emulate my Dad when it comes to the flood of tears that onions bring on. It may have been Dad’s favorite addition to most items from the oven for dinner or supper, he just couldn’t handle the waves of the aroma that some raw onions can create.
My secret for adding the flavor of onions in some dishes is to have them shopped super fine. My other secret for serving up a good meal for Thanksgiving is to have Dennis at my elbow. His strong arms can stir and whip ingredients together better than I could ever do it.
Preparation the day before is key for a stress-free morning that is yet to be. It will be our first time using an attached meat thermometer for the meat dish tomorrow. Time for the Stauffer Avenue older ones to move on up in the world. The chopping, dicing and mixing is done for this evening. It is time to sit back and make a few written notes for myself as to not forget some of the events for tomorrow.
A P.S. on a previous blog post in regard to my left leg. I have been wearing compression socks. After a long day of standing on my feet today in the kitchen, I am sold. The level of comfort is good.
