Thanksgiving...Follow

...and they all moved away from me on the Group W bench.

I'll be making a pumpkin cheesecake tomorrow night. Since it only uses like half a cup of pumpkin, me and Baby Girl baked three loaves of pumpkin bread the other night. Turned out soooo good. When I gave her some for breakfast she said, "Mommy, I'm going to thank myself! Thank you self!" (since she helped make it)

Tomorrow night I'll also be prepping my bird for smoking in the morning. It takes 8 hours to cook, so I need to have it ready to pop into the oven at 5 am. The family is buying the dinner and I'm making this smoked turkey as an add-on since I've become addicted to it.

Cool, thanks. We'll have just arrived at noon, but we should be able to catch it on the way back down to Mass.

we're having service for my dad today and then all meet back at my dad's house for dinner. No turkey and not a word about any pies, but Sisters are doing prime rib and beef stroganoff. I have to make creamed onions and mushrooms and the lemon sauce for the Angel Food Cake, that my dad loved. I misplace my copy of his mom's recipe, so went and printed out a few lemon curd recipes and will have Son-in-law help with making the whipped cream that she folded into the curd.

I got a pair of Clarks pumps to wear today. They the first narrow width pair of shoes that I could find with enough room for my toes in 14 years. They got good reviews for comfort, so I spent the money I was hoping to have still for Mines of Moria.

Rest of weekend will be recovering from concert Thursday night and checking out what fun new things I can do in LoTR with out MoM.

Every time you mention creton, it reminds me I havent had any in a while. And I crave them now.

Cretons are soooo good with a piece of toast with creton spread, dipped in a fried egg yolk... hmmmm.

Also, Pork pie with mashed potatos and gravy. Miam.

High Noon. Sorry it's BLM, not BMX - 93.1 on the FM dial (not a station I regularly listen to).

The office is having a "dessert and snack" munchie party. I brought in Brazilian cheese balls, but my plate is loaded down with enough sugar to kill a diabetic from all the desserts.

I suspect we'll be let out early, as the direct marketing business grinds to a halt when all other businesses are also closed. (Seriously, like, 2 people have answered the phone this morning, and they were as grumpy about being in the office today as I am.)

They're larger and somewhat darker than regular balls.

And painful to wax.

Yes, it's the day we go out shopping and spending far beyond our means as a big **** you to the economic crisis and to the nations despairing in desperate poverty and starvation. It's called "Black Friday." Mama needs a Wii Fit.

I'm up here in Spokane, WA posting from a hotel computer that is marginally faster than my ATT fuze. It does have a bigger screen though!

If I don't hop on tomorrow, happy Turkey day to you all!

Mom's already got two Pecan Pies in the oven. Florida is freezing this morning and we got the fire places going but its Thanks Giving time to eat !!

The traditional family Thanksgiving get-together in my family resembles a mixed martial arts battle royale. The last few years, my wife and I have avoided it like the horror show it is, and have just had a quiet little sit-down together. We'll be doing the same this year.
