megan's cranberry sauce is on the stove. no other cooking for me today. We have watched the parade and some of the dog show. One tiny part of mac's ridic amount of homework got done and now he is desperately working for everyone's attention while we all try to have a moment of silence. I am getting in the shower.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I talked with the family a little while ago and got to hear a wonderful story about my brother's last parent/teacher conference.
The kids had written a sentence and drawn pictures to illustrate their sentences, all of which were posted in the hallway outside the classroom. My nephew's sentence was, "My father is weird because he reads the newspaper while he sits on the toilet." His illustration was a big hit with all the other parents.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Our deep frying plan is taking longer than we thought. First we didn't have enough oil (facilitating a last minute run to the store for another 3 gallons). We're still waiting for the oil to get up to temperature. The bird's been injected with apple cider and rubbed with kosher salt and hopefully we'll be able to get it in.
I made the pies (cherry and sugar cream) and the pumpkin cheesecake last night. Whipped cream is whipped. Only need to put the green beans in the oven and do the potatoes.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Buffistas. I'm thankful for every last one of you.

Juliana, please swing by! It would be lovely to see you. Be warned there's the high school city championship football game going on at Kezar so parking is hard to find.
Jon was visiting recently and took pictures of Matilda at circus school.
For your entertainment and amusement, I present to you Matilda on the trampoline. (That's Emmett running behind her.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Help me, hive mind! I was planning on making stir-fried green beans with a balsamic/mustard sauce. The beans are supposed to be cooked in bacon fat, but we just remembered our nephew is now keeping Kosher and is not eating pork. What oil/fat should I use to add a little taste to them? Olive oil? Butter?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Olive oil -- butter would be nummy, but he won't be able to have it with a meat meal. Oil is bisexual.
