I finished making cornbread. Next step is squash and chestnut casserole. After that, trim the green beans for the green bean casserole, which will be made tomorrow.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
All I have to do for Thanksgiving dinner is make a pumpkin pie tonight and apple crisp tomorrow morning, remember to chill the chardonnay (and then get it out of the fridge), and nag Tim to proof and bake the rolls.
Tim's SiL texted me yesterday to tell me this: "Just texting to warn you...there is a tank of liquid nitrogen in our living room. I'm just saying -- this Thanksgiving has the potential to be explosive!"
I read it to Tim and he said, "That's ridiculous. Liquid nitrogen doesn't make things explode. But we can FREEZE THE TURKEY!"
Lord, I am afraid.

Sparky, aren't you nice for working your b-day so someone else could get it off?
Very sweet.
Were you born on thanksgiving?

I haven't read any of the Twilight books nor seen the movies. But just reading the movie review of the last one it seems like the wussiest narrative cop-out I've ever seen. So lame.

Happy birthday, Sparky!
Everyone's Thanksgiving prep posts are making me tired. Luckily, we're not doing much this year. M might be making a pie today, as is his wont, but otherwise all we have to do tomorrow is show up with drinks. (We're doing T-day with Gris and his lovely family, who live about a half mile from us.) And I feel extra lucky that M doesn't have to work today, since Rose's daycare apparently is closing at 3:30 today, even though I asked them LAST NIGHT if they'd be open regular hours today, and they said yes. WTF? Good thing M can swing by and pick her up, since I need to work a full day today.

You may want to seek out the Cleolinda recaps of the books.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah -- I've been meaning to ask someone to tell me the "shocking twist ending!!!" of the movie vs. the book.
I just have to cut up veg and make dip tonight or in the morning. Mustn't forget!

I think this is probably the most enjoyable format in which to consume the Twilight series.
