Lets talk turkey!
Hi folks;
Don't know about you but I'm so full of turkey I go "gobble, gobble, gobble"
every time I open my mouth!
Not that I'm complaining mind you, turkey is one of my favorite foods.
One of my hobbies is cooking (I do all of the cooking at our house) so when
my daughter asked me to cook a turkey dinner for her and her kids as well
as her twin brother and his family, she knew I'd readily agree.
Then, because my wife's family are mostly located in London, Ontario, about
a one hour drive from us, we can never get everyone to come to our house for
Christmas dinner and we usually go to London. (My twins are there too)
This means that we get to participate in all the Christmas goodies with none of
the work. So -- since my sister in law separated from her husband a year ago and
is alone in her house (except for her dog) we suggested that we would do a family
Christmas dinner (my wife's family) at her house on December 26th.
Now, I'm usually pretty organized (in fact personal organization and time
management have always been a mainstay of my Executive and Corporate
Coaching practice through The Leadership Centre - see TLC-Leadership.com) but
organizing two huge meals out of town, at two different homes, and bringing
everything required for both, from roast pan to champagne, was quite a challenge!
As it turned out, we served 10 at my daughter's home and 12 at my sister in law's
without a single hitch or problem - except abdominal extension!
For some strange reason out of 22 people only 3 (including myself) like either
turnip or cranberries! Go figure! Too bad, I cook, First and Foremost, for me!
Early January will see a return to diet and exercise, but for now there are lots of
leftovers!
