"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Today will be salmon with wild rice, roasted sweet potatoes and kale.

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.

COngrats on the great nephew!

Back from dinner with friends, and the post dinner glass (or two) of wine at my friend's mom's house. I am contemplating a manhattan. It's too easy now!

Yay great nephew! I have been trying to tell my dad that all I know about the Bengals is from listening to you but all I actually know is that you have mentioned Burrow, so it doesn’t make for much actual conversation

Our wings are not tired.

Thanksgiving was delightful, AND we have a new great-nephew who was born this morning!

Excellent! I hope everyone had a successful day. We were the smallest group ever gathered, so an abundance of leftovers for all. It was my first big test of a significant food fest while dieting, and I was actually down 2/10ths of a pound this morning, so I'm calling it a win.

My one objective for my Thanksgiving trio was achieved: listening to Alice's Restaurant and watching Pangs and WKRP's Turkeys Away episodes. This happened, so all is well in Laura's world.
