'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Anyway, not that it's a referendum on any particular relationship in the board.
I guess I'm just noting that I do value the balance of the issue. That I do care about the people here even when I disagree with them (or offend them). That the prioritization on civility is important even if it comes with a cost.
I respect you. I just disagree with your opinion on "gypped."
Cause you're a wronghead on that one. So there and neener.
But, seriously: on that one, from a recent historical perspective and all? Totes wrong. I should TOTALLY make you charts detailing how wrong you are.
(As for military intelligence, I've heard that one from a Republican career Marine and family member by marriage. As well as from buddies of mine who were Air Force. And pretty much every military person I've ever known. And seeing as all of 'em were talking to civilian audiences while joking about it, I'm gonna take their lead on that old chestnut.)
Cause you're a wronghead on that one.
It wouldn't be the first time.
Happy Thanksgiving, Pleiades!
Happy Thanksgiving, Buffistas.
I am grateful for the Buffistas. Even when wrongheaded.
Cooking. It smells good here. I think I should retire early and spend my time cooking, reading, decorating,etc. mostly spending more time with feet up would work.
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
I am deeply grateful for all the love, laughs, support, COMM's, and loads of stuff I've learned here over the years.
My life would be missing something important if I didn't have you all.
Much love, Erin
What Erin and Laura said.
I made butternut squash soup last night and helped Mom put together the cauliflower gratin this morning. Now all that's left that I am in charge of is the sage brown butter sauce for the Pumpkin ravioli. The guests aren't coming to Mom's until 1, so I'm thinking of taking a long hot bath. I should have brought some Lush products with me.
I've got green bean casserole in the oven. I think it smells pretty good, but I'm still sort of stuffed up and can't really smell much. I used lots of the fried onions. (I use this recipe [link] , which calls for 6 ounces of onions, but the brand I could find came in 4 ounce containers, so there's closer to 8 ounces in there. Not quite 8 ounces, since I ate some.)
My sister's making one right now, Hil, so I can vouch for it's smelling good.
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Just finished cooking the green bean casserole. Now ham and Cornish game hen are in the oven, on the lowest temp, warming up.
My fam should be here in 45 minutes. Guess I'd better brush my teeth and throw on some clothes. Although it just Dan, Mom, Dad and Suzy. Poor Suzy worked till 3 am last night, and has to be back to work at 3 pm. (They live about an hour and 15 away.) Short Thanksgiving day. But it will be good!
I need to go outside for a bit then come back in so I can rediscover the aroma.
