Warning : Freezy, Sleety Snow

 { this is post # 3251 }

is a- coming. Actually, the Environment Canada alert was slightly more technical BUT

I believe that I caught the gist of the message. Do not go out unless compelled to.
E.g. returning gifts or exchanging presents - the bare essentials, ma'am !

Further alert. We ate turkey again yesterday. Stuffing, rice < for me >, spuds < for her >, broccoli casserole and gravy. We always hem and haw about eating turkey two days running - well, we should. Great meal, encore.

This year, we let the turkey thaw for 3 1/2 days < instructions claim a shorter time but not for us > and sit at room temperature for close to an hour pre - cooking.
As well, the turkey sits and cools for an hour  < at least 45 minutes > post oven. M s friend A. listened to us and said that the turkey was the moistest ever. And ours, was really tasty. Ah, success.

My Xmas DVD was the Disney offering, the ' Mandalorian '. I watched Season 1 # 1 - 2. 
Rating. Better than most stuff that I get from Netflix and Prime. A little slow and the lead guy, Mando ? never takes off his helmet < he sure doesn't play in the NFL >

Plus, we watched 'News of World ' starring Tom Hanks. A former infantry Captain develops a trade as a crier < news reader >. He carries newspapers from town to town delivering the stories and events local to country to world.
Captain Kidd comes across a former settler's daughter, former Indian captive abandoned in a series of dadly events. His mission is to return the little girl to ' home '. The defintion of home mutates during the trek across Texas < which is not a nice place, post Civil War >.
Thus, a rating of 8 seems fair. However, on the Netflix scale - this DVD is a 15.

Yes, the storm blew in. Well, at least the first dose. Big swirling flakes and thrashing wind. Next will be the crap. A mushooga < made up word ? > of what Nature can deal out. Booze and coffee seem appropriate,

I truly, hope that I do not need to test the CAT.
