Good to hear from all of you. I had some salmon for Thanksgiving and have a good deal left over (I always expect to eat more salmon than I can). And, this year, I am very thankful for Leslie Jones.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
First day at new job. Now with an office instead of a cubicle. It’s all very exciting.

That's excellent, msbelle!

Yay, congrats, msbelle!
I have the same issue with salmon, Toddson.
The one counterpoint to the fabulous ease of going out for Thanksgiving dinner is that we don't have leftovers but for a meager mix of what we couldn't eat at the restaurant.
I did buy GF stuffing, and I have potatoes, so maybe I'll make some "leftovers" today.

We got the two carcasses (from a whole turkey and a breast) and I pulled enough meat off to make a turkey shepherd’s pie. Had to make my own mashed potatoes because I failed to bring any of those leftovers home.

I think my leftovers sandwiches were even better than the meal on Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving with the family on Saturday was great. My cousin-in-law fried a turkey out in the back yard, and let me tell you that is the way to go! (Their dog agreed, and nabbed the mostly-picked-clean carcass off the kitchen counter after the meal was over!) Kids' increasing height was noted, anecdotes and hugs were exchanged, and we still made it home before nightfall. The one thing I missed out on was good dressing, which was present neither at the family event nor in the Thanksgiving meals to go I bought for Mom and myself earlier in the week. I may see if I can locate a Savannah Classics pan and some decent turkey at the grocery store this week.
Yup. When women try to leave, they sometimes get killed. It’s the biggest danger point. Thankfully, AFAIK, R is anti-gun. But still, my friend thinks that since R did all that with the deputies there, they may well have gotten violent if just the three of us had shown up.
I agree with her. You can bet with 100% confidence that if R was willing to act out that much with police present as neutral parties, things would have been much worse if you'd been alone or just had one friend along.
