վ Decembrish 20 or / five days til .....

 վ - this is a squiggle from a squiggle really !

..... calm is restored. Life reverts from prevert. The whole vibe isn't about buy, buy and bye. However, we laud that once a year, seemingly everyone pretends to have a happy thought.
We wish  you a Merry Christmas

The day is drear. But we got to the dentist. I needed a check on a tender feeling near the implant site
M.. was due for cleaning

Then shop at the SuperStore. Which turned out alright. A little drama and a little angst - and a whole whack of money.

Supposedly, we have supplies for the period 22 - 26 of Deckember.

 At least, there will be beer for Xmas. I mean, celebrate - alcohol is not essential but a beer helps.
To wit. My fav beer right now is Eagle [ out of Wells Brewery, UK ] SuperStore was Super, the cooler had 15 cans of Eagle     [ I grabbed 12 ]. I had to make Christmas - right
Now, you don't need alcohol. However, if its available and its your fav ----

Then its good.

Well this is our first attempt at Brining a turkey. Apparently what you do is prepare a brine. Soak the turkey 1 hour for every pound. The promise is moist. Cooking faster and tasty. We will settle for 2 of 3 w/ tasty and moist preferred.

We shall see said the Zen Master!!

Wait! Turkey on Dec 21 ? Ah, we will cook the bird the day before.

But. That is Dec 22. Yes. My cousin has family turkey day ( incl. us ) Dec 26. Thus, we do turkey 🦃 before Xmas Day and then on Dec 26.

You see. I want turkey at home. And we try to cook ahead of actual day. Aha ! Turkey on Dec 22 and Dec 26. W/ leftovers for Dec 28 to Jan 2. A brilliant plan. Well executed
