Texty

I feel like I have a hangover. It's like all the lack of sleep from the last several days, plus two days of running around doing T-giving stuff suddenly caught up with me.

Well, that and I finally got my flu shot Wednesday, so that's probably involved, too. Fortunately, I'm participating in Buy Nothing Day, so I can just sit around and read and play games and hang out with M instead of having to go out.

Had a lovely day yesterday cooking and having havdrake over. It was like having him living with us again--like having the strange little family back together.

Made my first attempt at cooking raw meat in 15 years. It was a boneless turkey breast roast, rather than the whole thing, and I think I should've left it in the brine longer, but it wasn't half bad. Still, I'm not too keen, yet on the whole meat thing. I'm still most comfortable with it if it's in little chunks in pre-made soups or pasta or whatnot.

After vegging (and cleaning the kitchen) today, I'll probably spend the weekend doing the last bits of the design for the SPFH. I may also finally go see Happy Feet.

M and I aren't visiting the parentals this year, and don't otherwise have plans, so we decided it's time to host.

So if any of y'all locals or semi-locals don't have plans, you're quite welcome at our place in Mill Creek. I've been told I cook well, and since I've fallen off the veg wagon, I can do the turkey thing, too--a la Sir Alton of Brown, if M has his way. I also cook up a mean Tofurkey, too, for those still eschewing dead bird.

We also have a ton of games and may do a marathon of something from our DVD collection, which includes all seasons of Lost, BSG and GA, plus a bunch of movies. The bar is fully stocked and I also make some great mocktails for those who don't indulge. If it's not raining, we may even fire up the hot tub, so bring your swimsuit! Also, if you're coming from afar, we have some crash space if you want to stay overnight. But be aware that you'll probably become cat furniture.

It's been ages since we've had a party, so we're way overdue. We'd love to see you. Feel free to bring partners, kidlets or random relatives--just let us know in advance how many you're bringing so we can plan for food amounts. Bear in mind that we have four cats, if anyone's allergic, and this is an openly queer household, if anyone gets nervous about such things.

Send me mail or comment here with your e-mail (if it's not on your info) and I'll add you to an Evite with all the details.
