Thrive to spite them

M is getting experimental for dinner. I'm slightly skeptical but his mom is horrified.

Apparently for dinner we are having BBQ turkey burgers. But not ground turkey meat. He is mixing leftover turkey meat with ground beef and cooking that. I don't know if he thinks that is what a turkey burger actually is or he is just getting creative. He has a bottle of bbq sauce that he is going to doctor up with maple syrup and Chipotle powder. And then saute some onions to go on top. With a brioche bun I picked up.

Hopefully this will be better than the chicken and rice casserole that featured apples and mango. That probably could have gone ok if it hadn't been swimming in cream of mushroom soup .

Thrive to spite them

Verdict is leftover thanksgiving turkey is actually pretty good chopped up and mixed in with beef for hamburgers. So now you know.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thanks for the article link, Consuela.

Indeed heartened by JZ treatment plan and actually how she is treated.

My favorite uncle came by to visit and take M and I to dinner last night. For living in Oregon, I see him a lot.

Most else has blown.

Glad to hear it, askye!

I'm glad I'm not downtown today: I bet there are people already gathering at Oscar Grant Plaza (which is not its official name but that's what most people have called it since 2010 or so). There are probably choppers circling downtown Oakland.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary leaves tomorrow on his business trip. Luckily, the nanny has agreed to take Mr. S for the duration of the time. We'll pay her, of course, and it won't be cheap. Worth it for my peace of mind, at least.

M only has himself to blame for mixing apples, mangoes, and cream of mushroom soup!

Publishers Clearing House just offered me an ultraviolet flashlight for spotting pet and other stains that aren't visible to the naked eye. Who would want one of those in their house?!?

Lord, yeah, no, living in denial and just fine with it, thanks anyway, PCH.

My thought exactly!

I’m staying away from the inter webs tonight. I know how bad it is without needing to know and I just hope for no additional tragedies tonight. And for any glimmer of action to stop this keep happening.

JZ’s and dcp’s good news are the true bright spots of this week and I am so thankful.

Love one another.

This week has sucked.

Oh, yeah. Friends of mine can stop having cancer any time now. Three in three months (just found out about the third one today) is too damned many.
