As to create a bit of separation between thanksgiving and leftovers, I am going to put the leftover under-done turkey, stock, rendered fat and pot pie in the freezer for a bit. This should free up some space in the fridge and allow for a more normal(ish) week. I’m actively going to chase after some dishes to use the leftover vegetables and etc.
I got my COVID booster shot on Friday, and other thing some injection site pain (minor, still lingering but slowly becoming less), it went without comment. This will put me close to peak resistance for Yule.
This week I’ve tried to not pay to close attention to the news, and have, only once, picked up my work phone (Tuesday). So this has truly been a stress holiday of a sort. I suppose I replace that stress with cooking stress, but that was far more relaxing in general. I woke up the same time, that I would have for work, specifically to get in my morning routine, but after that my day was more or less my own to work around.
