butterflySo, I fairly randomly received a turkey for Christmas. Someone knocked on my door and gave it to me.
I then tried to follow the instructions. It thawed in the fridge for three days, I washed it in cold water and removed the neck and giblets. Pre-heated the oven and...
The oven racks were not in the right places. I turned off the oven, spent several minutes trying to move the rack.
Failing, I called my mom. I attempted to follow her instructions regarding leverage and such. Failure again.
So, the turkey is now still in the roasting pan, but temporarily back in the freezer, as I fucking well give up. I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to move that rack.
Added to the 'burning broccoli' disaster of last week, I think that I've definitely remember why I don't cook. I suck at it. It doesn't work for me. Oven equipment has it in for me and I'm not feeling particularly cordial in return.
So, instead of messing around with that, I'm eating really easy stuff and watching The Life of Python. Eric Idle and Michael Palin were very cute when they were young. Plus, it's really funny. Right now, I'm watching the 'lost' German episode.
