Thanksgiving Eve
I'm farther ahead in the Thanksgiving game this year than I was last. I got two pumpkin pies baked this evening, and they're already cooled and ready to go into the fridge overnight, instead of just getting out of the oven at ten o'clock like last year; and I have the battery for the power drill plugged in. We cook our turkey breast on a little electric rotisserie, and finally last year I found a way to put the spit through the breastbone that doesn't involve breaking the plate underneath or driving it into Tommy's palm (both of which have happened previous Thanksgivings). Last year, after trying to bore through the bone by hand, it finally occurred to me to use power tools!
