I am amused to announce that we are a Neilsen Family for the week of Nov. 17-23. Since we watch PBS and America's Funniest Home Videos and that's about it, we would gladly spend this week watching your favorite shows in need of ratings boosts. Except the ones that Fox cancelled last week. Post your requests for Neilsen viewing in Natter, and they will be recorded.

One more update...

If you're Un-American, e-mail the Cookbook Team at buffistascookbook at gmail dot come, and we'll figure shipping. We'll ship Global Priority Mail, which seems to be the most reasonable and fastest.

ETA: It seems to be $5.00 for shipping GPM to any International destination, so just figure $15.00 total instead of $12.50.

Sneak in if you didn't sign up for the blanket exchange, yet.

It turns out that with my dad visiting, I'll be dark grey through November 29th. Profile addy is good and checked regularly during the week.

Apparantly, Netflix was hit with a class action lawsuit. There is a settlement on it, basically giving current subscribers a free upgrade and ex-subscribers a free month. Details to be found at [link]

Stolen from email from my sister. I am thankful for Word's change text option because it arrived in shouting mode.

May I express my gratitude for each and every Buffista by sending this along.

Ode to Thanksgiving

Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned - the dark meat and white
But I fought the temptation with all of my might

Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.

I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees....
Happy eating to all; pass the cranberries, please.

May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump,
May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize,
May your thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
