I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ouch.
Mom finally called, they had no trouble getting home, just forgot they were supposed to call me. So everything is definitely okay in -t-land.
Also, So Delicious Mint Chocolate Seasonal Coconut Drink (possibly not the actual name) is pretty tasty.

-t, I'm glad everyone is okay. Yoiks.
So, for tomorrow, do I make green beans with ginger and garlic (nom) or tempura green beans with a honey mustard and soy sauce?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yipes! with a side of cranberry sauce, -t!
I'm driving this morning. Lovely empty streets, no snow stuck except to the cars.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone who celebrates it!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Happy Thanksgiving as appropriate! -t, I'm glad things worked out in the end. Kat, I'd go with whichever had the least cleanup, because I'm lazy like that. All things being equal, the ginger and garlic green beans sound delicious.
I had a Thanksgiving dinner with friends last Saturday and another one planned for next Saturday, but today it's me and the cat. I'll be making chicken sautéed in brown butter and rosemary, dressing and gravy, steamed broccoli, and a tart tatin. I'll also be putting up the Christmas tree, which I always love doing, so I'm looking forward to the day.

I'm drinking coffee, looking out at the snow and listening to the dogs snore. It's nice being the only one up. Happy Thanksgiving.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
-t, what a stressful start to the holiday weekend!! Really glad only the truck was hurt.
I did NOT get into a terrifying accident this year driving to my parents' house, but I did see some hella terrible driving (through a wintry mix storm on I-95), including one car that missed the exit, cut across the divider lane to get to it anyway, and then CHANGED THEIR MIND and made a U-turn back onto the entrance ramp!! And then got off at the next exit, which presumably was the one they wanted.
My parents have a full house this year, so DH and I booked a hotel room (with points!) and left the kids with Bubbe and 'Pa Bill. WINNING. Only downside is I'm not sure any restaurants are open for breakfast today, and the rate we got with points doesn't include breakfast here at the hotel.
