I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Succotash. IJS.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

And, Jessica, you totally converted me last year with just the talk of butterflying, and we did that last year and it was OMG so good.

Butterflying + Bringing = OTP of Turkey!

(And you still get stuffing, you just cook it under the butterflied turkey, which sits on a broiler pan or wire rack set over the pan with the stuffing in it. So the drippings drip down onto the stuffing, and flavor it just like it was inside the bird! And it cooks in 2 hours!)

Hee!

We don't add that fancy red pepper stuff into our succotash. It's all lima beans and corn, baby. Of course, by the second day of leftovers, it's becoming sort of a uniform grey.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, um... I don't think we've consensed on a new Natter thread title yet....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

a cranberry-ginger-pear compote

I made a cranberry-orange-ginger sauce this weekend, and it was awesome and easy. (I don't know what a compote is, but I think it must be French for "mixed stuff.") I was really surprised at how easy it was, and it makes the perfect thing to spoon over brown rice for breakfast.

nothing yellow&green

Nothing that is both colors, or nothing that is either? Because, ruling out all green means precious few spices and no vegetables, right? Which sounds like flea's SIL's household.

Whereas, "nothing that mixes yellow and green together" might be -- recent decorating trauma? Some crackpot spiritual issue? A family member who has one of those compulsions about not-mixy things on a plate?

Oh Nutty - it is just baseball rivalry. She is a Giants fan, I am not. I think I'll end up handing her a small baggie of bell peppers along with our "real dish".

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Okay, I got 83.3% on the tone-deaf test. I'm tempted to try it again, but that could lead to a day of me sitting hear, head right up against the speaker and me humming.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You're the one who always brings the pickled beets even though only one person within a hundred miles likes them, right? Ditto the sweet potato dish.
Rutabaga.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're the one who always brings the pickled beets even though only one person within a hundred miles likes them, right? Ditto the sweet potato dish.

Ooh, I wish we had pickled beets at Thanksgiving!

I am now the person carrying on the family liking of this thing we call Harlequin vegetable, which I think is mashed carrots and parsnips? For a while, my grandmother was the only person who was really into it, but now I'm all about it, too.
