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 think I am making your cranberry dish. Not to take to T-day dinner but just to have about.
It is actually yummy for lots of different purposes. I really should have made another batch.
I'm scared I'm not going to be sent home with leftovers, which are (IMHO) the best part of Turk Day.
get outta here Sue! Also, if you do not check in at regular intervals Thurs night - Mon morning, I am calling the police.
Feeling lazy. Making a pumpkin pie (really easy) except: don't have a store bought crust, don't feel like making a from scratch crust, don't feel like running to the store to pick up a crust. Do have graham cracker crumbs. How compatible is a graham cracker crust with pumpkin pie? Only ever done that with cheesecake.
I am making sides just for my place because I want my trashy non-fancy regular T-day food in addition to whatever leftovers we have.

Oh, I've known her since we were in short pants, so I don't think she'll be a serial killer, but I haven`t been in contact with her since like 1992, so it will potentially be just awkward. It might be great, you never know.
She's coming to town for a workshop, so she'll be busy during the day.
Just made the chocolate coma pie; it's currently chilling. Apple pie tomorrow.
Also just delivered a smackdown on an email loop. I probably should have refrained, but the metaphorical dick waving was getting ridic.
everybody's traveling or cooking aren't they?
I am both travel- and cooking-free. Although I do have in-laws. They're cooking.
Wallybee has decided that they like me too much because they're more complimentary about my cooking than hers.
Whoo. I was cooking. But I'm done for the nonce.
Achieved: 4 pies (2 pumpkin, 2 apple, three of which have a praline crust), whipped cream, do-ahead mashed potatoes (still need to be baked tomorrow), marinated holiday veggies (cherry tomatoes, brussels sprouts, asparagus, will add mushrooms tomorrow).
Tomorrow: turkey, stuffing, gravy, corn pudding, cranberries, grandma's sweet rolls
Failed: cranberry bread for breakfast tomorrow. The idea being that I'd bake tonight so I had something quick to eat in the morning before cooking all day. But it wasn't necessary, so it got lost. Depending on when our guests leave, I may still try for it.
But right now I'm chilling with the dog in the bedroom, trying to get him calmed down and me some introvert time while D. & guests are watching movies in the living room.
Pies are a big giant success.

Send some to my house, stat. That's all I've heard from Matilda for the last three hours: "I want pie!"
I might've oversold the pie aspect of Thanksgiving.
But is she saying "please" when she demands the pie?
