Thanksgiving

It’s 35C/95F out; all of Sydney is under extreme heat warning; and all I want is a goddamn can of pumpkin so I can make pumpkin pie ice cream. But alas, none to be found, not even for ready money. I will be roasting butternut this evening once the sun goes down…

Oh, and I asked the butcher how much it would be for a turkey breast to sous vide, and he told me $97 AUD (that’s $62 USD), and I laughed in his face and then bought a couple chicken breasts instead. I think it was actually a turkey crown roast, but whatever. Chicken it is.

EDITED – ONE HOUR LATER:

Me: So we’re going to be roasting pumpkin tonight so I can get puree, because I couldn’t find any canned. 😒

Rodd: You know, we already have some frozen puree from the last time you did that?!

Whaaaaaaat. THANKS, PAST KRIS!
