Where are we today?

         Another wonderful summer like day. Is this what they call "Indian Summer" ? It actually got up to 86f (30c) this afternoon, this is my kinda weather. No aches or pains, shorts, t shirts, yup this works for me.
         After the early walkabout town I heated up our oven to cook a 12 lb. Turkey that I am getting ready for our Canadian Thanksgiving with my family this Sunday.
          Love that the fall colors are arriving, a bit at a time.
         Turkey done by noon. I like to cook it breast side down, so that it does not dry out. No basting needed. I let it rest for for a while and cool down a bit then set in the fridge overnight. In the morning I will carve it up and back in the fridge, ready for our get- together.

          Right after lunch Suzie went to her dentist in New Hamburg and visited her Dad, helped him with some computer stuff. And while she was gone I got to finish mowing the lawn here. Not much  more than an hour. And enjoyed the nice warm weather.

perfect !
          When I was done done mowing Suzie back home. Now we enjoyed a wonder full warm afternoon enjoying our r-readers in the shade.  I finally finished my science fiction novel Seveneves by  Neal Stephenson, A very interesting read. After the moon disintegrates,was kinda hard at times and 700pages, so took me a while but sure did enjoy it!
        Now another novel I started by Linwood Barclay, Never look away.
        Supper tonight Suzie wanted to sample the Turkey that was cooking all morning. So we stole a few pieces, added a salad, and some cranberry/orange sauce I had in the freezer to go with our salad.
yup the turkey is good
       Now just enjoying another wonderful warm evening outside. We can read in the dark with our e-readers and love these mild warm evenings as long as they last. But cooling down way to soon now. Getting us ready for the southwest. Almost 8 pm and posting done, going inside to join Suzie in front of the tube for a while.
       Thanks for taking the time again to stop by and hope you enjoyed some wonder fall weather as well.

  1. I assume soup tomorrow? I think you should add a caveat to you recipes pages, "These recipes will ruin restaurant food for you forever." My wife and I went out to a seafood place the other night, after we ate, she told me that I make better fish with the methods from your pages. Thanks for all the cooking tips!

    1. Thanks Roger glad you enjoy my recipes, I like to keep them tasty and easy. Instead of spending your money on restaurant food spend it on good food and wine for at home and enjoy the pleasures of cooking.
      No soup yet I will freeze the carcass and make it next week.

  2. Well as I recommended Seveneves I guess I better read Linwood Barclay. I'm reading an uninspiring and annoying chicklit at the moment. The main character is not as intelligent as the characters in Seveneves.

    1. Thanks for the recommendation of Seveneves, Anna I enjoyed the science fiction fantasy, best I have read in years. We have a lot of books on file that we enjoy, most are interesting action packed reads.

  3. Surprised you didn't cook the Turkey on the Weber. Was it too big?

    1. I could have done it on the Weber but wanted to save the drippings for gravy and could not fit a pan on the Weber.

  6. A great looking bird. I would not have been able to resist taking a few slices for dinner either. First autumn storm of the season here and most of the lower mainland is without power... Enjoy the sunshine!
