There's oj in that recipe, too. All the good things.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I saw a clip of the Anne of Green Gables remake and the Gilbert was All Wrong, and I knew it wasn't going to work.
Dangit, Florence Henderson died.
Oh no! Not Carol Brady. Dang.
I got my pay stub and it included a very generous Reward and Recognition about. Which is very nice, but I have no clue why. I'm missing the Recognition side of the equation.
We had 11 for Thanksgiving and (as is traditional) food for about 30. So we're having a Please Come Eat Our Leftovers party tomorrow - but in the mean time, today is for chilling in our (temporarily clean) house with crafts and video games and a deep sense of appreciation for each other and good friends and the fact that we neither travelled or had to deal with family bullshit this holiday.
Did not need to say that twice.
Time to start decorating the house!!!
Bargh, this cold is awful. I woke up coughing and happily found some Mucinex in my sister's cabinets. But I'm still in my pajamas and the dogs are not getting walked today. At least I have chicken soup on the stove and five more episodes of Stranger Things to watch.
Aw, Consuela. Chicken soup and Stranger Things sounds like an excellent treatment, at least.
I have yet to get going today. It would be very good to get some stuff accomplished if I can, but sitting on the couch reading has its merits.
Winona Ryder is my barrier to entry with Stranger Things. I watched the first ep. and part of the second, and when her character came on in the 2nd episode, something in me went, Nope!
I am also having that issue with Cherry Jones character in Transparent.
She is kind of OTT, it is true, but OTOH I can see how you would get there, given the circumstances. And I'm just grateful to have any adult women being full characters on the show.
There's an essay by Barbara Kingsolver on the Guardian today, and one of the things she talks about is how as a society we don't look at elderly women as leaders or heroes. [link] And she's right. As I get older, I become more & more aware of how rare it is to see women over 50 in pop culture, especially women doing anything useful and not being there just as comic relief. Or as mothers being sensible but ultimately useless.
