I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

As it is after midnight EST, Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Vortex!

I decided to do my stuffing tonight since I already had the bread torn up. So that's one big thing done and dusted before I go to bed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am super thankful for all of you!

Jeez, Tep, a torn labrum is pretty incapacitating. I hope it's something else and more readily fixed.

I mean, I feel pretty incapacitated. The pain sucks, and my mobility is pretty compromised. Also, if it is a torn labrum and needs surgery, athroscopic is pretty easy-peasy, as surgeries go. I just really want this fixed.

We are really making an abundance of side dishes for the 7 of us expected to dine together at my brother’s tonight. More than one per person, that’s for sure!!

Hope they don’t mess around and get your hip fixed up soon, Steph!!

I'm all for fixing. It's just from following my baseball players that have torn labrums, the recovery can take a pretty long time. Anyway! Let's get you fixed up and pain free.

Happy Thanksgiving! EM is here and taking over the kitchen. I have to clean the Guinea Pig cage.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Since I'm only cooking for myself I'm keeping it manageable. Today will be salmon with wild rice, roasted sweet potatoes and kale. At some point I'll make some cranberry muffins, but probably not til Sunday so I can take most of them to work.

I do miss having a Capriotti's in the loop where I could get a Bobbie. [link]

Salmon with Kale was JZ's favorite. It was our payday meal.

EM and I spent several hours cleaning, and Emmett and Matilda are here on prep duty (they're kibbitzing and laughing which I love to hear). Their guests will be arriving shortly.

I still have gravy, mushroom stew and Mac and Cheese to make (though I will probably press Emmett into duty there). And the turkey, but that's pretty straight forward since I already brined it. I just have to baste.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am super thankful for all of you!

Likewise, Tep. Great holiday~ma and health~ma to both you and Tim.

Hec, please give EM and the kids big hugs from me. You folks are never far from my thoughts.

I'll check in again a little later.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Hey, Karl...Hope you got my holiday greetings. Thankful for the Buffistas, even though I am confused about many other things right now Hec, et al, Mom sends her love.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I now can make a perfect 2.5 ounce cocktail, which hits the spot exactly.

That’s genius!

I wish you pain-free joints soonest, however that may be achieved, Tep

Happy Thanksgiving my lovelies. Mine has been a ben more football watching the han usual as we have less prep, somehow. Getting to be about time to set the table and turn the oven on…
