The Environment Canada advisory is for swirling winds and accumulation of snow beginning this evening and thru the night. Santa may need antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid < not to drink, mind >. 
The day begins gray and the wind chill is 26 or so.
Our turkey is thawing in the basement fridge. Through a mighty effort < really > I managed to pry the drumsticks apart and wash the inside. I read that you don't need to wash the turkey. Part of the reason < chickens too > is that you fling droplets of turkey all over the kitchen.

I think washing out the cavity is good for ice removal. And the neck was in there as well < stuck like glue >. Besides, I use the laundry tub and we don't cook down there. Today, I'll rub soya sauce all over the bird < my version of brining >

Oh ! the embarassment when we try to explain this lapse in consumerism or fit of consumerism that we promote.
And we never thought of ouselves as Amazon people < well, I didn't for sure >
