Several sticks of butter wait upon my butcher block; I want them soft and easy to spread on the turkey's breast.
My fresh herbs are on standby, and the stock, at a low simmer since yesterday, has given the house a thyme and sage scented richness.
The fresh cranberry sauce, prepared last evening, chills in the refrigerator. I hear the Macy's parade issuing from the family room where Sweet Wife sits with a blanket wrapped around her legs.
It's cool outside.
My coffee is hot, and for all this I give the Good Lord thanks.
I'm also thankful to Mike Miles. Thanks and welcome my new friend. Mike took a chance and hit my follower button a couple of days past, and Mike, I promise to always answer your comments. Take a chair and jerk a cup of coffee and let's have a chat.
May God bless each and every one of you.
Stephen
