Thanksgiving Forecast
Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high
near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be
ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.
During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice
through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates.
Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates
slippery spots on the other.
A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area,
with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey
will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the
refrigerator.
Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be
established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent
chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup
develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left
will be the bone.
Pumpkin Pie
Our neighbors gave us a pumpkin pie as a holiday gift. As lovely as the
gesture was, it was clear from the first bite that the pie tasted bad. It was
so inedible that we had to throw it away. Ever gracious and tactful, my
wife sent the neighbors a note. It read: "Thank you very much for
the pumpkin pie. Something like that doesn't last very long in our
house."
