Happy T-Day! The bread has been proofing in the fridge since yesterday, and I am about to commence baking. Nom nom nom herb bread.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Nom nom. I am lounging around thinking I should go running. But I have Sondheim on the stereo and a warm fleece blanket in my lap, so I'm inclined to just sit.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm also snuggled under fleece so I'm thinking I may not be running either.
eta: Consuela it snowed last night so today may be the perfect day to start that fic you recommended in SPN. Sounds like a perfect Turkey day to me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to my beloved Buffistas!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy Thanksgiving, Buffistae! I'm truly thankful to know all of you, and whether you celebrate a holiday today or not, I wish for you all to be safe, healthy, and loved.
(ermm, yes, I'm totally cribbing my own fb status. what?)

ha! I was just thinking reading fb right now was making me hungry with everyone describing the basting and the baking.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends! Thank you for being here. A rough 6 months for us -- I'm just thankful it wasn't rougher.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody (with a side of belated Happy Thanksgiving to the Canadians)!!
I am truly thankful for this community and all the moral and other support it provides throughout the year.
As I read through the food posts, I am struck by the terms. What is the stuffing/dressing, sauce/relish divide? It doesn't seem to be East/West.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
At Chez Zmayhem I am listening to old British folk rock (surprisingly good Thanksgiving music since they don't celebrate turkey day, but it's all burnished and melancholy and hence autumnal). I just kicked JZ, Matilda and Emmett out the door to (a) get them out out of my way for a few minutes while I review recipes and (b) get a few extra items for today and (c) get the kids some fresh air before I can turn my attention to them after I get the turkey in the oven.
Found a mustard/vermouth/thyme sauce in Silver Palate I think I'll use on the brussel sprouts. Got extra dairy products to toss into the mashed potatoes to make them super rich. I'm wandering around the kitchen sniffing at the fresh sage and thyme, and a little bowl of mulling spice.
It's funny - I feel like I should be up and cooking already but since the pies are coming with EM, I don't really have to do much more than turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and brussel sprouts. While the turkey takes time (and lots of babying the way I do it) it's still too early, and the other stuff is also premature.
So I'm just in that meditative menu planning stage, reviewing the timing of everything.
Since Emmett's got the complete Friends box set, we'll probably watch some of their Thanksgiving episodes.
