I'm not a fan of toaster ovens.  They seem like overkill for toast but they also, in my experience, do a lousy job of toasting bread.  The convection thing, too, blowing hot air over something to speed cook it?  It's bound to dry it out, kind of like having a hair dryer on your turkey.  Best to let it sit quietly under a constant heat source.  I suspect you are using this equipment due to lack of a regular oven, so I sympathize and admire your inventiveness and fortitude under those circumstances.

Harrison Ford was a carpenter. Is your labourer's name Harrison?

Close. It's Buddy.

It's not a new thing. We've had previous "breaks" in the past. One time I was walking home from high school, she was 1 mile from the school, I was 2 miles.

I just got a wild hare in my brain and decided to visit. I was not welcome. She told me to leave.

Funny enough, though that rejection hurt BAD, it led to one of my favorite solitary memories. I walked from her house to the movie theater and watched Spiderman 2.

Then I went to burger king and got the spiderman 2 burger. It's one of my favorite burgers ever, and burger king is crap.

But I enjoyed the movie and burger and went home happy.

FIVE HOUR TURKEY

Turns out my convection oven SUCKS.

I've been lured into a false sense of complacency. I've mostly used the sucker for chili fries to now, but last night was the first trial by fire.

And the turkey would not hit 140f. Which, as you know, isn't good enough. At first, I thought my thermo was no good. It's not digital, it's old school.

Turns out my thermo is right on the mark, and that bless'ed turkey wasn't going over 140.

I went to the internet for help. It said to tent the turkey with tin foil. So, I did.

Still took five golly hours. It did hit 170 though.

Turkey turned out good, if a bit dry. Mashed was mashed. I'm not pleased with the outcome on that point, but I was cooking without sentiment on that count. I have done better, and I will do better. Stove top stuffing was Stove top stuffing.

One fun one, I bought "onion enhanced" gravy. 89 cents, I figured what the golly, why not?

It's just gravy with dehydrated onions. Nothing particularly enhanced, I was not impressed. But it did help with the turkey.

I kind of want to shoot the oven with a shotgun. Piece of poo.

I've been wondering why my toast keeps coming out lousy, now I know. The thing has the temperature containment skills of a bless'ed water balloon.

I had a hamburger bun with bagel spread for thanksgiving.

My aunt asked me to dog sit so that she could have thanksgiving with her boyfriend, and I agreed.
She said I could have "anything in the fridge".

There weren't leftovers, but there was a half bag of crinkle cut fries, so I ate that for dinner the night before thanksgiving.
The next day I went excavating but I didn't find poo. Just hamburger buns and bagel spread.

She's very "live with what you need, and nothing else" but this was honestly surprising.

I didn't get paid, and one of the dogs peed on me when I was asleep. I took those dogs out every two hours, so that was on purpose!

 I don't know if I'll dog sit for her again. The not being paid stung.
Especially when she acted like it was an emergency and she needed help.

When I asked her about the food situation, she suggested that I should have eaten the creamed corn from the pantry. Yup, that sounds like a meal.

Anyway, I stocked MY pantry with spicy chunky soup because I tried a can of the spicy chicken noodle, and they had all the ingredients in, instead of being 80% water. Well, those gits got me again.

This soup is a bless'ed ruse cruise. That label makes it look mighty tasty.
Nope. Green pepper. Too much green pepper.

One upside of the soup is that it is a cream base, so at least that was nice.

I think the whole can had three chunks of chicken total, which was a Campbells standard from about 2000-2010.

I had a salad too, that was pretty good. Just your bog-standard bag salad with chipotle ranch. Nothing exciting, but it gets the job done.
