This is a TOTALLY ridiculous expenditure, but I am seriously considering buying these for my big Thanksgiving dinner (I am hosting my parents and CBD's family): [link] They're just so cute!

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Kind of expensive, but oh so cute! I want the pie charm one.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
They are cute, vw.
Today's breakfast: slow-cooked barbecue brisket served on Sara Lee lite bread that I'm pretending was Texas toast.
Daniel's brilliant. Perhaps you already knew that. But his idea was to get a brisket, put it in a slow oven all night, and let the heat warm the house - brought the temperature up to 68 degrees Farenheit. Who needs a furnace, baby.
Not only is my nose not numb from cold, but we have some darn good meat in the house.

They ARE cute, vw, and I personally think they're totally legit as a holiday expense.
(Mind you, this comes from the woman who bought a set of Guy Buffet Skating Chef plates as her holiday dishes.)

The Skating Chef is adorable even though I don't quite understand the whole holiday dishes thing. I s'pose that's one of those totally optional, fun things. And it might make a bigger difference if you actually entertained a lot.

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'm a Christmas geek in that "Good will towards man" sort of way. Plus, for me, the chefs rock because they're winter, as opposed to Christmas-centric. I actually pull them out and use them from Thanksgiving on.

Well, I did talk myself out of buying a whole new set of dishes [link] so I figure I deserve SOMETHING Thanksgivingish.

I have everything for four or five at this point. We're going to use them all through Advent I think.
