I guess I should get off my *ss and go to the grocery store if I want to make any of this.
'Out Of Gas'
Natter 62: The 62nd Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I got in and out of the grocery store in less than an hour. Got a free-range turkey in the desired weight range, spuds, fresh herbs, brussel sprouts, heavy cream, extra butter, mushrooms, wine, spices, and Straus Creamery organic eggnog.
Tomorrow I'll go by the Ferry Building and nab some rosemary rolls and some fancy cheese and tasty fruits for nibbles.
megan, who are you having Thanksgiving with?
S (aka my roommate from Paris who lives near me) and her family.

Will there be French films afterwards?
How many people are you having, Hecubus?
We have a smallish crowd: only nine adults. Hee!
How many people are you having, Hecubus?
Small crowd, which I had to remember while shopping tonight. Me, JZ, Matilda, Emmett, EM & my MiL.
Easy Peasey, especially since EM will make vegetarian gravy and a vegetable dish for JZ, and MiL will bring salad and another dish. So all I really gotta do is bird and starchy things (slathered in butter).
I'm not sure where the disconnect is occurring. Is it that onerous to say 'please' and 'thank you'? Obviously not. But clearly it rouses the rebel in her.
There is a Yo Gabba Gabba episode that deal directly with "please" and "thank you"--I'm sure she'll take direction from Muno and Plex!
juliana, NOT even close to being an asshole. You've had a shocking death in your neighborhood as well.
I'm going on the record as saying tragedy sucks.
Will there be French films afterwards?
With her two small boys running around? Not likely. More likely I will be doing lots of reading of Babar and playing of the Ssssnake game.
I made some cranberry relish tonight. I am not a fan, but I hear somes as what are coming are, so I made it. Franny offered to help me by being my taste tester. Added allspice and vanilla as per Plei's recommendation. It's yummy. Thanks Plei.
MiL and DH have made some headway into the cleaning, and we can do more tomorrow. I'll also make the stuffing tomorrow if there's enough room in the fridge.
I may actually get through the holiday without breaking. Well, without breaking again.
