"Patience, Please - Good Food Takes Time to Prepare"


At high end restaurants, it is often noted that " good food takes time to prepare so don't get your shirt in a knot" or words to that effect. Ah, well, people would have more than their shirts in a knot waiting for turkey dinner here, today! I forgot to put the turkey in the oven! Only admit this to my blogging friends as it's rather embarrassing - Wouldn't have thought of it but I came down to check email and my blog came up with a nice cooked turkey showing!!! Luckily I had meatballs in the freezer so voila.
One Christmas a few years ago we dined at 9:30pm - our company arrived by plane around noon, we opened gifts, snacked and then remembered the turkey! Still in the fridge. There were 8 of us but everyone was gracious (read:very hungry) and managed til dinner was ready. So if you come to visit at our house, expect the very unexpected. To quote, get the guest hungry.

What a funny story! If it makes you feel any better, I have prepared an entire meal in the crock pot and left the house, only to come home to find the pot just as cold as when I left -- I forgot to turn it on! And by then, all the ingredients had to be tossed away, of course. I wish I could say I had done that only once...

Oh, I love crockpot meals! That would have been a terrible disappointment!
