Make sure the kid has gloves, hat and scarf, which he probably never needed before.

He thinks he is prepared, but it will still come as a shock. Since he starts school in January there won't even be a gradual change. I'm sure DH will talk to his coach and see how they deal with kids that come from warmer areas. I may give him long underwear as a going away gift! I already talked to him about winterizing the car but DH will make sure it is done right before he leaves.

I'm so sorry Zen.

Laura- did you put the egg binder in the cauliflower stuffing. I have cauliflower, spices, celery and onion, but not sure about the egg or broth parts...

Sad news, Zen. I'm sorry.

Happy pie-for-breakfast day!

I've had two slices - cherry, pumpkin - so far.

Laura- did you put the egg binder in the cauliflower stuffing.

Nope. Just roasted cauliflower topped with sauteed celery and garlic (I can't eat onion) in lots of butter and spices. Pecans were added the last 15 minutes of roasting. I roasted it on a cookie sheet spread out. I cheated and used Trader Joe's roasted cauliflower, but it would have been the same with fresh. It was so tasty, but I love the poultry seasoning taste.

Thanks Laura. I am trying it for family Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I asked Marc if he was prepared with cold weather clothing. He was in school in Montana last year! I thought he had been in Tallahassee for some reason last year. He showed me some videos his friends from Montana just sent him where they are playing in the snow. He says he likes looking at it out the window, but he plans to stay right on campus and not try driving around.

He sounds like a sensible guy. Still, presents of long underwear are hardly ever a bad idea.

I have recommended The Good Place and Killing Eve to my mom. I hope that wasn't a mistake.

My mom is enjoying the Good Place. Long underwear is a good gift. I used to get sent down to our tiny village clothing store to buy duofold long underwear for my uncles for my grandma to give every Christmas.

I am baking the roasted cauliflower stuffing into muffins. I hope it works.

I am also going to do some brussels sprouts in lemon and garlin. My dishes to pass seem so tiny, but realistically, we only have 5 people, and no one but me is really going to eat it, so I don't want a big expense/to deal with leftovers. I know my mom will say it is the height of rudeness.

I lurve the Good Place. Enjoyed the scroll through the Comedy thread. Killing Eve was really good too. I wouldn't be recommending it to my mum, but maybe I'm underestimating her (she's more of an NCIS gal).

Sounds yummy, Sophia. The amount of extra food presented every holiday meal is absurd.
