My ex got cholera from an oyster shell. That was exciting.
My grandmother got hepatitis from a raw oyster! (or so she says )

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think my family-in-law is going to try the CI turkey recipe this year.
Is that the same one they picked in America's Test Kitchens (brining the turkey won out, IIRC)?
Heh. I had to laugh at myself after I posted that. Could I BE any more anti-holiday? I didn't even mean to do it this time!
Time to start perfecting your "Bah humbugs!" Nora. You know the Xmas decorations start going up after Halloween these days.

You can buy just the breast and roast it. That and two or three sides seem to do for the three of us.
That's a good idea, or maybe we'll get fancy and have cornish game hens or something.
Really, I'd almost as soon skip the main dish and just load up on mashed potatoes and stuffing.

The Target near me had one aisle of Christmas decorations when they put up the Halloween display. I was ill when I saw it.

Ooooh, yeah!

After, hell. The stores I've been in have already smushed the Halloween stuff into a corner and started selling Christmas stuff.

It's the herbed one from the most recent CI.

I know I've stated my views on Christmas sneaking into October, so I won't subject folks to that rant again.

heh. honestly, my position on the holidays is very similar to my position regarding having children- I know other people do it, and enjoy it, and think it's all a good thing, and I respect that. But am slightly bewildered by it all and just sort of don't get it and know it's not for me. But I like it that it works for others.
Now, where the anxiety is, is that avoiding having kids, aside from nosy questions by people whose business it isn't anyway, is pretty easy, knock wood on one's birth control. The holidays, however, are everywhere and can never really be avoided.(IME)
But some of it's nice! I am trying to go for eccentric holiday "not really my thing" rather than a big ranter freak about stuff.
Er, I hope this did not read as a rant. Definitely not intended as such.

move out and draw fire
The holiday shop near us is stocking their Krismas Kitsch as we speak.
And so far 3 Greeks have asked me if Halloween is an official holiday in the States (as in, do we get the day off). I think this is a brilliant idea!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Nora, I wish you guys couild come out here for real. Our holidays are relaxed, profane, fun, laid back, and all about Teh Food. "White Trash" Christmas is my favorite. Sweatpants and t-shirts, horrible movies and potluck.
