I left work two hours early to cook this bird.  (The drive home was not good, it had sowed a lot more, so I got home only and hour and a half earlier than I normally would.) 

I put it in the oven with the cheesecloth on it.  It was supposed to be cooked for 15 minutes before putting the cheesecloth on.

When I went to baste it the first time there was no juice at all to baste with.  Confused, I took [livejournal.com profile] eor's suggestion and used hot buttered rum.  Rum, butter, brown sugar, spices - how can that be bad?  We'll see. 

I wish leaving work two hours early had really ended up in me getting home two hours early, because the very best I can hope for is to be done by 9:30, and that's really not good, keeping Eor up that late. 

Heh, I mentioned Eor by his actual name to Buddy Boy, today, and BB was like, "Oh yeah, that's his name!  I keep forgetting it."  Because of course he reads this and thinks of him as Eor. :)  I said that's okay, since when I met Eor, twelve years ago, we met online and he was already using that nick, so I think of him just as much by his nick as by his real name.
