Anyway, I made bagels last night. It has been a while since I made them last. They look good and smell good. I plan on devouring one soon...I just need to make my eggnog latte first. God bless you, latte maker!
In other news, pre-thanksgiving thanksgiving was on Saturday. Holy cow, my turkey was amazing! I brined all 25 pounds of it over night in a mix of water, orange juice, lemon juice, salt, pepper, rosemary, and brown sugar. I then made a rub of basil, rosemary, Italian seasoning, garlic, EVO, salt and pepper. I separated the skin from the breast and stuffed some of the rub under there before massaging the remainder of it over the rest of the bird. The first few hours I cooked the turkey breast down before flipping it over and finishing it off. I can safely say that this was the best turkey I have ever made. It was flavorful and juicy. Go me!
Time for kid updates!
Bean: Bean is getting excited for thanksgiving though he does not like turkey. He doesn't like most meat. He also doesn't like potatoes unless they are fried. I love to ask him what he is thankful for because he ALWAYS says people that are important to him, especially "Airdan" (adrian). It snowed last night. I few flakes started falling before his bedtime but about 15 minutes after he went to bed, it started to come down. Husband went to wake Bean up to show him. His eyes just lit up. Husband took Sawyer outside so he could play in it a little bit. It is this type of stuff that you get to do with your kids that makes parenting so much fun. How cool is it to go play in the snow at 9:15 in your jammies?!
Monster: Oh monster...where to begin? He still keeps me on my toes and is really clingy when other people are around. I wish I could say he is sleeping through the night but we are close. He sleeps until about 5 and then I give him a boob. That buys me anywhere from another hour to 2 hours. He is getting really good at communicating. If he wants to me to do something for him, he comes over to me, grabs me, and pulls me to where we need to go. He then points and grunts. I'll ask him if blank is what he wants and if it is, he will nod his head. Soon enough he will be using words. They grow up so fast!
I am ready for my bagel now. See ya later!
Ok wait...OES as in Oregon Episcopal School?? That place turns out genuises but I'm worried it may be way too much pressure for my dear little Bean, and besides, I thought it was a private college prep school(?). Oh well, I hope he gets in wherever you want him to go, maybe he'll be the next Dougie Houser or Beanie Houser or whatever. :)
