HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I am in Arkansas! My father-in-law is going to teach me how to shoot a crossbow! Best in-laws ever!
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I have no idea what will be served at Thanksgiving (other than the green bean casserole I'm bringing). I have hopes it will be familiar, counting on the fact that the family is from Indiana, like me...but then I remember that they moved there from CALIFORNIA, so goodness knows what sort of freakish godless thanksgiving feast they might create. I'm still scarred from going to Vortex's feast and finding that they didn't have MASHED POTATOES!! SHOCKING. :)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have no idea what will be at Thanksgiving this year. New people, new food, I'm scared...
Mom is here and we just checked the directions to Thx and turns out we need to leave in about 5 minutes ago. And we both have to shower. Yes, it is the holidays. Time to get cleaned up and motor.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Mom wanted ham, so I got her a couple of thick slices and will heat those up and make gravy. StY and I have lemon pepper chicken, also from the deli--we're scattered this year, so the deli is mostly cooking for us. In a minute I'll move to the kitchen and make garlic mashed with cottage cheese and dill, steam the green beans and heat up the niblets corn and the sweet rolls. We'll have chocolate truffle cake, left over from StY's birthday day before yesterday, with ice cream for dessert.
Tryptophan dreams to all sweet Buffistas!

We had all the traditional stuff, plus buttermilk pie and port. Now nap. Later, crossbows.

Thrive to spite them
My dad has gotten into wine collecting and so he brought several bottles over. There were 5 of us and I think a total of 6 bottles of wine. This included the strawberry kiwi flavored "wine product" that some how made it's way to the house. It's not bad for a wine spritzer type drink, but it didn't go with the Thanksgiving food.
Now we are cleaning up and eating some cheesecake. My brother and FSIL are going to go and pack more for their trip. (a quick plug for their trip -- www.kayakjourneys.com).

Where's my damn House Elf.
Mmm, House as an elf. He could sing snide, snarky non-sense songs and generally not give straight answers to questions all day.

Some foodie show on NPR we were listening to on the way over to Dan's aunt's appartment, the wine expert recommended any savory with a hint of sweet but not aged in oak wine to go with Thanksgiving food - to echo the savory-sweet theme of sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. He recced sparkling Shiraz in particular, as the bubbles would cleanse the palate from all the salt and fat in the food.
