Happy Thanksgiving, Americans!

Oh, with regards to The Good Wife:

I hate Zach SO MUCH. What a stupid kid! ARGH.

Diane is being scheming and delightful. I loved that she told Eli about the wire-tapping, which I'm sure means he will figure out what Alicia was trying to tell him earlier.

I expected the voicemail to come back at some point, but not like that. Fascinating. Chicago politics is such a small town, I guess.

As for Kalinda, I really want her to reach out for help. Why is she only going to Cory? Because she doesn't think of him as a friend and only has a mercantile relationship with him? Why not tell Alicia what's going on? Or Diane? I mean, seriously: one of the partners (who is not Will) needs to find out about Blake.

As for Will, shouldn't he know about Blake anyway? I wonder if this is something Diane will or could use in her move to split the firm: she could probably take Will down if she chooses to, with that information about Blake and the therapist he put in a coma.

Jackie remains Jackie: simultaneously aweful and cringe-worthy. I do look forward to Eli's reaction to Becca's interference, though.

I think I undercooked it a little, Suela (my pumpkin pie keeps getting overcooked because I fear that the middle isn't done, but really it keeps cooking and sets as it cools, so I was afraid I'd overcook the maple one, and went too far under!). But it still tasted pretty good last night (I had to cut in a slice...to make sure my guests wouldn't be poisoned, right?)

Ooh, timer just went off on teh potatoes.

OK, WTF? I'm watching the Macy's parade, and...why is there a white girl step troupe in polarfleece and wellies? (Hmm, the announcers seem to think they're actually tapdancers??? Still, WTF?)

Your stuffing will be fine, Connie.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I made the Pommes Pommes Savoyard and it's finishing now.

Turkey is in the oven.

Stuffing is made and covered and ready to cook.

Just need to make the filling for this carmelized onion tart which I'm going to put in a puff pastry and I'll be pretty set.

Mashed potatoes and steamed brocolli (with butter) will fill it out.

Happy Turkey Day!

Allyson, is it OK if had a little pang of envy when I saw that Oliver has a name, and that Allyson has a new kitty?

Pommes pommes savoyard sounds delicious, BTW, I looked at the recipe when you linked to it the other day.

I'm making the mashed potatoes now. I had to do SOMETHING. And the turkey is about to go in the oven.

I called home and my father had no intention of telling me anything. Apparently he tested positive for some sort of a blockage when he had his stress test and is going in for further testing next week, including some sort of nuclear something.

He managed to turn the conversation around and make it my fault, because I've already had all these tests (including some sort of isotope scan) and he didn't remember. Hardly, Father. That was years ago, up to 20. You? Just this week.

The Good Wife wiretap revelation stunned me! I had planned to come in here and talk about it right after the episode but I was too flabbergasted.

I never know what Kalinda is thinking. I suspect she just wants to keep the firm totally uninvolved, for what reasons I'm not sure. Blake came in with the new partner from DC, right? He's not really Will's guy, I thought.

All the stuff with the kids is a lot more interesting than they've ever been before.

Dad~ma, ita.

Parents are weird, and sometimes worrying. I hope your dad is okay and that he tells you so.
