Put the bins out. Today green garden waste and food waste.
Red bin all rubbish.. it goes to landfill.
Wifes quite proud of her gold star that is on the green bin. Shes very good at only green stuff in it.
Trip to shop for biscuits for my morning cuppa. Indian shop for jasmine rice and incense . I burn a stick at night. I find it very calming. Gas up my car.

What's the gold star for?
 
Today - Make stock and pies, hope they fit in the fridge. Don't have much room in the fridge due to the turkey thawing, the smallest I could find was 20 lb. But free is free. May have to throw some turkey out.
 
At least rake my garden borders and paths smooth from tilling and pull an edge of dirt up to the outside. If I get  really motivated I'll put down some cardboard.
 
Start work on sides for tomorrow. Craig is supposed to get the brine made and the turkey in it, plus prep the BGE.

Maybe get sone crocheting in on the wreath I started last November but didn't get done in time for Christmas so put it away until couple weeks ago.
 
Made the smoked salmon dip, corn casserole x 2, prepped the standing rib roast stuffed with garlic & rub on exterior , prepped the ingredients for knock off Grimaldi's arugula salad with lemon vinarette, made the garlic spread for the baguettes. Taking all to sister's tomorrow where she will have prepared the turkey, dressing, potatoes and dessert. Cocktails will also be part of the dinner - 3 sisters in one house - yep, cocktails will be needed 😂😂
 
I made my sourdough rolls dough last night (using my sourdough starter) and it went through its bulk fermentation. I just shaped the rolls and am praying that they proof properly. This is a new-to-me recipe so hoping for the best. I put 3 of the rolled balls in a small baking dish all by themselves and I will bake them later on--hoping I don't have to resort to making a fresh batch using yeast if they don't turn out. I am making 15 rolls for 11 people (2 of them are children). That should be enough, right? Well if the 3 I set aside turn out great I do have time to make another batch. Also making some sourdough starter brownies today (for the 2 kids that will be there tomorrow mainly). I found a recipe online I am going to try. Tomorrow morning I will make the pecan pie.

About that pecan pie--growing up we always left the pecan pie out until it was finished off, and that sometimes was a few days. No one ever got sick from it. Now the FDA says to not leave baked goods with eggs in them out at room temperature. What a load of bollocks.
