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!!
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, if it is a torn labrum and needs surgery, athroscopic is pretty easy-peasy, as surgeries go. I just really want this fixed.
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 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…

Capriotti’s
I had the same reaction!
We have eaten, and all was delicious. Desserts are out now. It may be a moment before I'm ready for that.
Hope all are enjoying.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Thanksgiving was delightful, AND we have a new great-nephew who was born this morning!
Now I'm hunkered down to watch the Bengals and Ravens and see how quickly Burrow gets injured in his first game back.
