Turgoosen update: roasting: hour 8

[lwood]

Halfway through the scheduled roasting time for the Turgoosen o'DOOOOOOOM. She went in at 2:07AM, Pacific Standard Time, after which starfire6910/Deborah and I celebrated by going to Denny's for a late night dinner, then coming home and collapsing.

It didn't need any help at 4:00 AM, when we got back from Denny's. countgeiger got up at 7AM, and he and Deborah determined that it actually needed basting, which surprises me given that we have a goose in the process, nature's own fat factory, but there you are.

The Turgoosen reverted to its expected behaviour by 10:00 AM, when I extracted about a pint of drippings from its roaster home. My apartment has been a place of wonderful smells for the past two days as I've constructed the stuffings, and is becoming so again as the turgoosen roasts soooo veeeery sloooooowly.

I followed that up by a heartfelt and shameless plea to the Hrafnar and Fensalir lists for donations to help defray the cost of this hummer, because between one thing and another, the shopping list ran about two hundred dollars (ouch).

In the eighth hour of turgoosen, my kindred gave to meeeeeee...

Where is the PayPal button?

Oh, and I think your neighbours hate you. :-)

*laugh* I'm not going to ask you for money to defray the cost of something you're six thousand miles too far away to enjoy!

Honestly, we made it pour le sport. If it weren't fun, we wouldn't've done it.

I don't have a PayPal button because I don't like PayPal. I'm sure my neighbors had foody envy, though. 8-)
