Roast Turkey Breast in a Bag in the Oven

FALL MEAL IN THE OVEN: I'm finally getting around to roasting the Jennie-O turkey breast in a bag I trashed a few posts ago. Trashed because it's injected with all sorts of weird and nasty grease crap. Why can't they just leave the goddamn turkey meat alone and quit injecting shit into it? In any event, I've gotta use it, so into the oven for three hours it went. Along with it we'll have sweet potatoes (the most healthy vegetable in the supermarket vegetable aisle), potatoes, stuffing, peas and turkey gravy. Yeah, it's not diet food, but I can have it on my diet -- all I do is reduce the portions -- especially on the stuffing. It's all very healthy -- far better than eating a roast. I'm not using real butter in the stuffing; instead, I'm using Smart Balance -- the diet butter I've been eating. It actually tastes OK. They've done a pretty good job of making it taste something like real butter. I love sweet potatoes, but I don't put all the brown sugar and marshmallows and all that sugary shit in mine. Yes sweet potatoes contain sugar -- but it's natural vegetable sugar and absorbs differently, so it's OK to eat. All I do is cook them like potatoes and mash them. Nothing fancy. So I will have a scoop of those along with mashed potatoes, a scoop of stuffing and a scoop of peas. I can have a tablespoon of turkey gravy on my meat. You know, I don't have to starve and go without while dieting. It's all about cutting down portions and reducing the chloresterol and sugar. I just have to get out of bad habits. I haven't absorbed any granulated sugar or red meat for two weeks now. Don't feel any different, but at least I've been able to wean myself off that dependence. The "Glucerna" website leads to has 1,000 diabetic recipes which are worthy of looking over.

IT SMELLS REALLY GOOD WHILE BAKING

Sweet potatoes, regular potatoes and stuffing accompany the turkey breast.


These are some mustard greens. Will have them tomorrow. Very nutritious.

I've been engrossed in writing a new creepy story. Haven't much interest in searching for any more weird stuff on the Web while I'm into writing. Hopefully I'll have a couple of new stories ready for Halloween on Saturday. Once I get an idea to write something nothing can distract me from falling completely into it.

I know this is going to sound nuts, but they've already begun Christmas advertising here locally. It spurred me to dig out my Rudolph: The Red-Nosed Reindeer DVD. Yeah, kill me for watching holiday programming so early! I cleaned the disk and I'm gonna watch it tonight with my cats after the roast turkey dinner. I just really like it. It's strangely compelling and oddly comforting. It's the original 1964 Rudolph special, too, the one with the puppet characters and Burl Ives as the Snow Man singing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas."
