Turkey fajitas
Posted on Thursday, November 15th, 2018 at 9:50 pmThe first injection just took place in the thawed bird, and it sits under foil in a roasting pan in the fridge. Tomorrow, the stuffing and the bacon wrapping and the roasting, followed by disassembly, carving, packaging, and boiling down the carcass to stock. It will be a fairly full day to prep it for transport. I have the kitchen ready for the process tomorrow. The 7 hour cook time should give me ample time to prep and stage for the road.

Departure will be Saturday, as soon as I can get things packed and rolling. With a single overnight, packing will be minimum. I figure 30 hours there and an hour transit each way. Friday night will be too cold to play and sing, so a Saturday arrival before noon should work. Fajitas and second serving on Saturday, music on Sunday. Second serving is either tamales or cheesecake. I’ll figure that out on Saturday morning when I get the guacamole.

The cold snap is easing slowly. It froze enough to nix the bugs and mosquitos. So we don’t need any more of that for a while.

I look forward to the party. I also look forward to emerging from post party recovery. I am ready for a prolonged rested lazy spell. Nothing quite like sitting around, doing nothing, by choice. One or two events in December, maybe three. I’ll just have to see how ambitious I get.
