Our turkey is all broken down and bones are in the stock pot. Made a drop at my buddy and his wife's. Fed SIL and friend. They showed promptly at 4. We told them 2PM. They're on HawaiianTime. Still have a pan of dressing and the neck to pick at. I do a very basic dressing. Butter, onion, celery, S & P, poultry seasoning and stock over bread cubes. I like plain ol' French bread in it. You will like this chicken recipe. Brown cut up bird. Add onion, cumin and garlic. Cover in green enchilada sauce. Simmer until the meat falls off the bone... Ono-licious

Oh... how about puberty. Boys tend to be hell until and girls during/after. I have 3 sisters. Lucky to survive it

I'm sorry. Hope you had a pleasant day. Some places are OK, but... it's a holiday nonetheless

My wife does genealogy as a hobby. I call it "chasing dead people"

Yes, I do wear a sarong when cooking. The way I wrap/roll it, prolly more secure than a pair of pants. OH my!! Talking of a Christmas tree shortage [here] this year. Blaming it [partially] on tree farmers switching to annual trees ... marijuana.

I had everything cleaned up by the time wife got home. She would have never known. ... except the kitchen was cleaner than before I started. Had to clean [wash dishes] before I made mess. Funny how a clean kitchen gives me the urge to cook. Has to be clean so I know it is all my mess. Our dinner is in flux. Might just be the two of us. I'm OK with that. Didn't plan on a crowd. That it began to start sounding like a bunch would show was OK, but for the need of more side dishes. I would be happy with a quiet day. Sometimes, less is more Y'all have a great holiday!!!!

@BigStewMan You should have seen the kitchen by the time I made 2 pumpkin pies. After I finally got the crusts rolled out, it looked like someone threw a 5lb bag of flour into the ceiling fan.

I won't volunteer. But, if the responsibility is thrust upon me ... ... a gasp from the crowd. One thing he don't need is encouragement. I'm still laughing about "the guy that invented pot" comment

one of the thing I like about being a senior citizen. We can say near anything and they have to take it 'cause we're "old".

What I dislike about cell phones the most is that folks think you should answer the damn thing any time/anywhere. I have to tell folks I only have a land line... no text. We may be in a similar boat with @Tarheel.. My buddy had to take his wife to the hospital last night. She's home. Whether they make dinner tomorrow???? Told/warned her, she WILL see me with food even if she can't make "the show". Got my pies made. Need to cube the bread for the stuffing. Then I'm done for the day. Dinner is chicken thighs simmered in green enchilada sauce. I never hear that. It usually "What an odd fellow"

I been in your area, Gary. A 150 r/t is quite a drive. The traffic is crazy. Not something we have to deal with.

we get 25 miles of winding county road to decompress after you turn off the interstate. It's pleasant. Watch for cows on the road, though

OK gotta love attention to detail the local news is talking fireplace maintenance, particularly sweeping the chimney. I get that. Fireplace is our heat... What confused me about this article... they show a gas fireplace.

from where I live, that's a trip to the grocery

I don't own one, either. When I leave the house, I don't want to be bothered by a telephone. Truth be known, I barely know how to place a call and answer the wife's flip phone. Text? Are you kidding? I do know how to turn the damn thing off. It nags you if you don't respond to a text or call. Or at least open and close it. if I need to borrow a phone and get handed an eye phone, I don't know what to do with it beyond what I saw on the Corona commercials...

sweet deal I drove 2000 miles to get mine They're gonna make someone very happy.

Mornin All About killed myself Mon. Overdid it. Spent yesterday in bed. Mo bettah today. Have a lot to do. Prep for T-Day. Move wood to a dry location. Yes, dry Rain coming today/tomorrow. Calling for 2in and snow down to 5000ft. Weather people are all excited. Even suggested folk take their family/friends up MtLemmon to play in snow. I think that when people come here, the last thing they want is what they left to come here. On they news A person staring at their eye phone walks of a subway platform. A person runs to help them up off the tracks. First thing that comes up.... the damn phone.

would be fun to see. I agree with @nitrofan all things being equal -- electric wins.

Glad that sub is on the other side of the country. My house [cabin, as my aunt calls it] is glad too. GLWS

Mornin' All Been up for [quite] a while. 2:30AM is too early to be up. So, I was. Drank leftover coffee. Made a couple scrambled egg burritos. Took a shower. Cooked pancakes for wife and kid. Fresh coffee for wife. I'm about done for the day. I bet the [fuel] wood get delivered today and I want to clean the chimney before it is a must. We have cold/wet predicted for the holiday weekend. That would be the perfect time for it to plug, if I don't do a pre-emptive strike. No, turning the stereo real loud does not shake the creosote loose.

that's the list of meds I take. I use a vaporizer... not e-cig type. Straight plant material, no "juice".. see SSV or Volcano

I'm comin' on 65 in Jan. Don't take pills.

Taking a music break, in the doghouse. Time to go back in. Wife and kid are playing. Keeps wife from working. A good thing. She [still] hasn't realized how productive "down time" is.

It's worth it. I trash the kitchen when I cook. I don't try to multi-task when I'm cooking. Used bowls/pans and all get shoved out the way [table, counter after the sink is full] until after. made some mashed potato and beef enchilada [burritos] the other day. Took longer to clean up the mess than it did to make.
