Mommy Like Holidays

[d8rkmessngr]

I do. I don't look it right now. Me. Like. Holidays. Really.


Write? Write what? The cookie recipes my hubby keeps promising I'll be more than happy to write down? The checks to UNICEF, ASCPA, CPC, RDC, and all the other alphabet soup groups? What about my cards? And why isn't hubby getting me stamps? Who ate the cookie dough? Why is there cat fur inside my dryer? Candy canes cost how much? No, we can't hold another holiday party the next day. No, I'm not putting antlers on the cats. No, we're not buying a turducken, kiddies, just because you like saying it. :P No, M-i-L, it's not a good idea to stay over until New Year.

Was there a time I ever said "yes" to anything?

Humbug, I say. Hum. Bug.

Excuse me while I stick my head in a pot of boiling water and pray someone clones me right now.

Waiting For The Anvil To Fall On Her Head,
mommy

A turducken is a dish that consists of a duck stuffed inside a chicken stuffed inside a turkey, with stuffing, and cooked together. I've never had it, but I've heard it's quite delicious.

Of course, the finest of turduckens will always be the Easter Turducken: http://asteroid.divnull.com/2006/04/easter-turducken/

The idea of a bird swallowing a bird swallowing another bird makes me go eek. Hubby and his guy friends all swear by it. But at $60 bucks or more...It costs as much as the entire holiday meal. Yikes. As much as hubby was keen to the twins chanting "turdiucken, turducken", he too balked at the price.

To say nothing of the calorie count.

Well....MiL anounced she was buying us a turducken since she figured me and SiL won't buy one (aka my daughters in laws are too cheap to spend their hubbies' money) so I gotta learn to cook the damn thing. I looked up the calorie/fat content if we roasted the turducken:

Turducken serving: 800 calories per 8oz serving/skinless
Fat 35g
.......Sat fat 12g
.......Cholerstral 330mg
Sodium 350mg
The scary thing is the chol is 109% of a person's daily allowance.

I should be grateful Christmas is only once a year.

If I was 100%, I would convince my PT to take me jogging. LOL. -sigh- There goes the 7lbs I lost from PT. Damn.
