Whee for turkeys

A fun week of playing with drugs is over and tomorrow another one begins. The exception being that Thursday, instead of drugs, I get to play with Turkey. That’s right, I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year here at my apartment. I think I mentioned it before but because of my work schedule (having to work Friday and Saturday) going home for turkeyday would of been a pain in the ass so turkeyday will come to NYC. I just went shopping today and got a turkey and an assortment of things to go with said turkey. My family is bringing some stuff too (Chelsea promises to pilfer wine and muffins from her work) and Mom will bring vege. stuff for her and Chelsea who don’t eat meat. Which is fine with me, more turkey for me!

I think I have everything all set for said dinner, it will be by far the most ambitious thing I have ever cooked but I am quite handy in the kitchen so it shouldn’t be too hard. Though for some reason my former supervisor at work, Tom, found it quite funny that I would be doing all the cooking. How bad can it be? Cooking is just like Chemistry. Mix some things, heat them up, and yah get new things. Heck this is even easier because there is less a chance I’ll blow my self up in the process. Note I said “less a chance” and not “no chance”, working in a lab I have found a large number of seeming innocent things that can try and explode of mame you and I am sure the kitchen isn’t much safer :)

Speaking of work this past week was good. No Uber exciting cases but nothing too bad either. Friday was fun, cut out two hours early so I could go out for drinks and dinner with some people from my training class and the new one.
Did a bunch of overtime too this past week, which is nice with the Holidays coming up. Not that I have any idea what to get anyone for x-mass. If I don’t think of anything soon there will be a lot of gift cards under the tree :)

This weekend was just a rest and clean weekend (plus I spent most of my fun money at the bar :) ) but that’s ok. This up-coming week should be busy so I am enjoying doing nothing….while I still can.
