Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

“Not dead yet!”

Yep-- the olive oil or if you have any nut oils, like sesame.

Olive oil it is! Thanks.
