Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

You're more than welcome to come by, Laga. The only thing we may be out of it stuffing. Everything else we have in abundance, including pie (though none of my homemade pumpkin pie...I have ingredients to make another, and I may just do that. I just ate a big ol' plate of leftovers. Nom nom nom. I'm having to fight the kitten off from them, however. Man is he a tenancious little brat.

We also still have an untouched ham to eat. I should have made a sandwich before I left. I know there was at least one small container of stuffing. Hmm, I might have to pick up some more stuffing, that's a thanksgiving leftover staple.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I tried making an eggless pumpkin pie this year. It didn't work too well, but I think I can see why it didn't work, and I can try it again later. Needs less pumpkin and more milk, I think, though then I'll have to adjust the arrowroot and agar. I haven't baked with agar much, so I don't really have a good feeling for how it works and how to adjust it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Cool beans! I don't think I've seen you guys since Omnis's going away party. I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Even after guests took leftovers, we were left with what I consider perfect amount - enough to get us through the weekend without much cooking (basically we will need to cook more veggies), but little enough that we will have zero or close to zero Monday.

Also, sj, I will smite them for you. I should shop with you sometime. It would be bad for the other people, but good for you.

Ha! We should definitely do that. TCG gets so aggravated with people, but he is usually also amused by hearing my constantly mutter under my breath, "I will not kill anyone today."

My mother always makes way too much food. So, everyone leaves with a lot of leftovers. I'm not expecting to have to cook until Monday, and we might have to freeze some of it so that it doesn't go bad before we can get to all of it.

Ok, so apparently an office call to a nurse practitioner in small town mid-America costs $145 nowadays. This makes me shudder in fear of the expense of ever needing to see an actual doctor. What's an office call to a GP in a major metropolitan area running now - $300?

Varies a lot Geographically. Olympia has abut 190,000 for the greater Olympia area has NPs you can see for about 50 bucks. Sometimes small town professionals are very expensive, because they don't have much competition.

All is well that ends in pizza.

My sister Jeannie made some wonderful stuffing this year, out of whole grain bread. It was very good, and rich. It may have been Brownberry 12 grain Bread.
