A lack of accountability on your part should not constitute an emergency on mine

I've heard of the movie The Road to El Dorado, and I see lots of gifs from it. It looked vaguely charming, but this Tumblr post about it pushed it considerably higher on my Want To See list. How fantastic would it have been if the original idea hadn't been shot down?

This weekend I ran myself a little more ragged than I should have and wow I'm paying for it today. Saturday was my day to perform at Smoker, and when I got home from that I changed clothes, grabbed a bottle of wine, and headed out to CrossFit Lawrence's celebration party in honor of being in their new spot for a year. I stayed later than I'd anticipated and didn't get to bed until close to midnight. Of course I couldn't sleep past 7am on Sunday, so I did a few loads of laundry and cleaned the kitchen before cleaning up myself and heading out to KCRF for my day as a patron. I got a little drunker than I'd anticipated and didn't get home until close to 8:30.

I came home with a dozen turkey legs because they were selling them six for one as I walked past the food stand. If I'd had a way to carry more I'd have purchased more. That's some cheap eating, yo. Once I got home I had to shred them up for freezing, and stripping down twelve turkey legs was pretty time-consuming. I crawled into bed a bit after 10pm, dead beat. Of course I woke at 6am this morning. *sigh*

Tonight, getting to bed early is Priority Number One.

Interesting Introspective Opportunity: Clementine emailed me on Friday with a list of beliefs that are associated with autoimmune disease (no, I have no idea where she got this) and the last two were 1. Challenges with being flexible, going with the flow 2. Feeling challenged by others' lack of accountability.

Hm.

Imma take my nap now.

Hm, sounds like "things that make you stressed contribute to symptomizing autoimmune disease."

"Take a chill pill" is probably a recommendation ;-)

"things that make you stressed contribute to symptomizing autoimmune disease."

There were a lot of other things that she listed that don't apply at all, but those last two really stood out.

I hate taking chill pills.

I have to ask: What on earth will you do with that much turkey meat? Does it really survive the freezer well enough to eat as just straight meat, or does it need to be turned into soup or used in other dishes?

I love the idea of scoring cheap meat, but wouldn't have a clue what to do with that much dark meat (I'm a white turkey meat girl, but am willing to learn to enjoy the dark meat, too.)

Well, I never eat it plain. I always cook it up in another dish, so I can't really say how it survives the freezer in its original form. The closest I've come to using it as is was when I made deviled turkey salad.

Says the girl who has always preferred dark meat and hasn't voluntarily eaten a bird breast without using it in soup or casserole in over 20 years.

Toss them whole into a pot with chicken stock and boil till they fall off the bone; let cool, skim, de-bone, and make turkey soup!

I'm going to have to punt and send the comp tickets back to you; we are just too busy combined with too broke to go, dammit. We'd manage except for my niece is getting married on the 13th, and we are staying overnight in Derby, so that runs the expenses up....
So, I'll have them in the mail on their way back to you tomorrow. :'( Maybe next year....

Sadness!

I know! *hugs Satchel*

I miss reading Get Fuzzy; I may have to go hunt them up....
