The starch Thanksgiving needs more of is popcorn.
Ooh, yes!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It is supposed to rain here Thursday (and tomorrow and Friday!) which is big picture good but makes the morning 5k less appealing.

OMG! I'll have to pull out the popcorn machine I got for Halloween. The family will love it, particularly my 4 yo nephew. Thanks! I never would have thought of that.

Jesse, it's raining there? We have snow.

It only rains here. It always rains here.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
We always watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, with the jellybeans and popcorn and toast, and I was just thinking yesterday that I should make popcorn for Thanksgiving! Maybe as an appetizer? I just love making/eating popcorn, basically.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
It can't rain all the time.

I've been craving corn chips and salsa these last few days. As we won't be gathering for dinner until 6pm, I'm thinking that would make a nice, light, but self-indulgent lunch. It's not popcorn, but it's corn-based. So that's close, right?

I've had cause to remember this one over the past several years:
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.

I should have done my errands yesterday when it wasn't snowing. Maybe it will stop soon.
Mashed potatoes are a must on Thanksgiving. Mom makes a sort of twice baked mashed potato thing that can be assembled the night before and baked in the oven the day of. We used to do a huge lasagna and homemade chicken soup on Thanksgiving as well as everything else. Now, we make pumpkin ravioli with sage butter sauce and a butternut squash soup instead.

Mmmmm, pumpkin ravioli. Too many yummy seasonal foods.
