Oh man.........sorry to hear about your bad luck, Dan. Trucks can be fixed or replaced, our FRiends can't be.
Feel better, Happy Thanksgiving.
Shove them in the oven?
Drat!
So to speak.
Have a great day, whatsyourface!
The Mods aren't taking a day off, I see. i gather from some quotes the zotted troll was pretty vicious.
Don't let it get you down.
I'm sort of killing time as well, since we really have no "schedule" to adhere to today. The bird's in the oven and poor hubby has now gone to make yet ANOTHER trip to the store. He's in charge of the bread machine and when he openned the bag of bread flour....it was infested with those little weevilly things. I absolutely hate those things.
Huh. I'm always surprised to find some time when you're NOT in bed.
sorry to hear it, Dan! Glad you are ok and that no one got hurt. hope you will have a nice turkey dinner and a few adult beverages and can enjoy the day!
happy thanksgiving, arghy!
dinner will probably be ready in an hour or so. everything is ready to go, i am just waiting to time it based on the turkey being done. homemade bread, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry dressing, fruit salad, green salad, sauteed mushrooms. and then dessert later tonight. we tried to send xskids and xscousins to see the Incredibles, dropped them off and a half hour later they called bc the theater lost power, they got refunds but they are back underfoot at home. it is nice out, but pretty windy. they are playing football outside now.
Sounds like you're having a full day!!! It started out a really nice day, breezy, but the sun was shining and 72.....jax got out of my hair for about an hour. But now it's gray, windy and 52 and it rained pretty good around 1.
Dinner will be ready when I feel like getting up again and making gravy. Turkey''s been done nearly an hour. squash is in the oven, potatoes are boiling, 2 kinds of stuffing made, just need to heat them up. I'll put the pie in the oven after the stuffing is done and we're sitting down. Already had our sushi, oysters are next!
Sushi and oysters? Is that something you have each year? - We had turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli/rice/cheese casserole, green beans, deviled eggs, rolls and gravy.......... cherry pie and pumpkin roll for dessert...............everyone is full and nodding off watching the Cowboys and Bears each try to lose....... there can only be one loser so I don't know how this game is going to come out........ ;^)
No on the sushi, hubby happened to stop at a fancy supermarket on his way home last night for a couple of things and saw a small sushi party tray. Since we tend to graze all day Thanksgiving, he thought he would surprise me.
Oysters we could east every day. We had bought a half bushel of local ones last weekend, only an hour out of the water and even after wiping between 6 and 8 dozen in one sitting and I don't know how many more while he was shucking the rest, I still had over a quart of them left.
Some went into one of the stuffings, but most I think went into me!!!
Which reminds me - I've got to find the thread from the other night to thank the FReeper who gave me the recipe for the oyster stuffing.
Mom and dad!!!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Rob't!!!!

In addition to the nutritious stuff, we had a drop cake, a pecan pie, an apple pie and a mince meat pie. I could not adequately explain the concept of mince to my son -in- law. This is the same man who made the judge explain-- "And thereto I pledge thee my faithfulness" DURING the wedding service. I never found out what he was afraid he was being asked to do... (but I've had lots of fun thinking about it.)
"I" do not go around in pubic re-posting references to zlippies' pussie posts about her new battery-operated putzsucker !
(But all of the good prints I keep hidden under the mattress ....)
(Robt acts shocked that "anybody" would do such a thong ..... Over the internet no less!)
