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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

All this turkey, pie and stuffing talk is making me very hungry!

Come visit us, Sue! We'll feed you.

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.

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

ZZZZZZZZZ.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

hip deep in pie

I don't think I'll make it by suppertime. Maybe next year.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Deep fried turkey is moist and delcious. As is cranberry (whole), green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread stuffing and homemade pumpkin cheesecake with fresh whipped cream.

I'm getting ready to join Tom Scola in a food coma.

Now I desperately want to watch the West Wing episode when President Bartlett calls the Butterball hotline.

I just saw that scene in a Burt Wolf show on Thanksgiving. Very amusing.

Thanksgiving buffet restaurant was packed but we got in quickly. Turkey, ham, candied apple and yam casserole, sour cream potatos, some stuffing, and hot tea at the end to soothe the sore throat from my cold. And Hubby got his green beans and broccoli and other evil green things.

And we have pie here for later.
