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 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.
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.
happy turkey day, all!
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.)
ACK! AM DEAD!!! Matilda is too damned cute.
All this turkey, pie and stuffing talk is making me very hungry!

Come visit us, Sue! We'll feed you.
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?
Olive oil -- butter would be nummy, but he won't be able to have it with a meat meal. Oil is bisexual.
Yep-- the olive oil or if you have any nut oils, like sesame.
