We spent yesterday at Mom’s doing food prep, and now we’re headed back there for the meal itself. ltc is then going to stay at Mom’s until Sunday.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Btw, I’m reliably informed that White and Square is set to get his Masters in January. Which seems fully impossible but there you have it.
Time flies.

Mr Looked Like a Tooth So I Ate It is getting his masters?? Wow I feel old.
I like my friend I am staying with a lot but thank god she has an electric mattress pad heater thing in this guest bed. I just got up (she sleeps in late) and it is 61 degrees in this house. I made coffee and have snuggled back in bed with the dog. I believe our plan today is “cook the food we are bringing, then watch some gay tv, then hope that the people we are dining with don’t suck” (the hosts are friends of hers but we don’t know any of the other guests)

Our wings are not tired.
I am pleased to report that the pumpkin pie filling passed the taste test prior to baking. You can't trust these things to chance, particularly with my lack of precise measuring. Brendon would be okay with a pie first plan.

I have managed to clean the kitchen from yesterday's cooking, so it is prepared and ready to go.
Wrote out my menu to keep track of it and I'm in pretty good shape.
Especially since dinner got pushed back to 4pm.
I've cleaned up a little around the house though it needs vacuuming.
And I have showered and shaved and am about to go outside to find Second Coffee and perhaps a bagel before I start cooking the mushroom stew and get the bird in the oven.

The brown butter sauce for the pumpkin ravioli is in the crock pot so I don’t have to make it last minute this year. I’ve never done it that way before. So hopefully it comes out okay.

lol, “pushed back to 4pm” reminds me that the friend I’m staying with was raised Jehovas Witness, so when I tried to explain that there seems to be sort of two traditions, one of Thanksgiving dinner at dinner time (6 or 7 or whatever) and one of Thanksgiving dinner in early afternoon so that you eat a late breakfast/brunch, then turkey, then have time to get hungry again and have seconds, she found it bizarre. What time do y’all think of Thanksgiving dinner as being appropriate? My family has in the past done 6pm but in my mind it’s more appropriate to be like “show up at 230 and eat no later than 4” whilst football or the parade or some similar thing is on tv and chaos reigns in a kitchen?

We always aimed at 2, which ended up being 3.
