Sally's GF3 thread

I'm trying something new.

Last year, I tried baking slices of home made bread to toast it for stuffing, and it seemed to take a really long time. No, I didn't turn on the broiler, because I don't think it works. I think of using a broiler once or twice a year, and this is half or all of them.

So I dried out the slices in the dehydrator. We'll see if that helps. They won't sizzle, anyway. They are bone dry.

This is a sad thing to do intentionally to nice loaf of home made bread. That means I need to make another loaf, huh? But not until after Thanksgiving and leftovers are gone/put in the freezer. There will be enough good things to eat for quite awhile.

I bought a dehydrator, am looking forward to experimenting with it. I never thought of doing bread, though.

It didn't take long to dry the slices of bread crispy dry. If I ever need to make bread crumbs, I will do this.

And, we were treated to the smell of bread wafting through the kitchen.

Another Thanksgiving in the books. I learned something this year.

I want to like making turkey for Thanksgiving... but I ... just ... don't. So next year will be a turkey breast, and we might be having the big meal on Friday. The Lions play every Thanksgiving, and the game timing versus the meal timing is just not working.

It all worked out ok... but it was very stressful, and I don't need that kind of stress. Plus, neither of us really like the dark meat, so what's the point of doing a full turkey? A breast will be plenty for us.

I think we'll have ham for Christmas dinner. Or pot roast.

Much rather enjoy Thanksgiving dinner than watch Foooooosball

Me too.

But this year is different... the Lions are in first place. This is uncharted territory. They have been the butt of jokes for decades, even had the only 0-16 record ever in the NFL one year. For them to be serious Superbowl contenders -- favorites, even! -- is beyond imagination. Detroit, and all of Michigan, need something really great to cheer about. I'm ok with it being football.
