We went to my brothers as per usual. Present were my Mom and Vixdad, my SIL,her parents and her sister and brother and her best friend, her husband and her 20 year old daughter

No one was sick this year?

She did some. The turkey was about to come out of the oven, but she shaped the rolls, mixed the corn casserole, and made the gravy. She ate with us, then I took her home to have dinner with her dad, sister, and grandma.

She had never had ham. She liked it, but really liked the dark meat turkey and stuffing and gravy.

It is sweet she had to family dinners.

Not as overtly as usual but we still said no thank you to leftovers and are taking sambucol as a precautionary measure

There was some funeral potatoes and corn pudding that wouldn't fit into my casserole dishes, so I used some small dishes and sent them home for Mae-Ling.

Mae-Ling hasn't eaten meat since she and Wae-Ling were at my house years ago helping to stuff the turkey. Mae-Ling thought sticking your hand into the turkey to get the giblets and neck was the grossest thing -- Wae-Ling thought it was the best part of Thanksgiving.

I just had to turn the heat on for the first time since last winter. I’m thankful that it’s working.

I turned on the air conditioner. It was 84 in the house.

We used the car as a refrigerator for leftovers it's about 30 out there

Laura · « **Reply #128 on:** November 23, 2017, 06:41:57 PM »

I put the dough on the patio to rise. It was about 90 out there.

Laura, most people start with a cup of sugar or an egg and work their way up

vixmom · « **Reply #130 on:** November 23, 2017, 06:43:36 PM »

Tomorrow the office is closed

vixmom · « **Reply #131 on:** November 23, 2017, 06:44:25 PM »

I however volunteered to do a closing in Brooklyn at 10 am

I blame Jose for everything. And JMK. And everyone else who has left us. I blame them and I shame them and I Mame them.

But would you frame them? Or claim them?

Annabelle and Thatch are alive - no violence in my absence -and they seem to have enjoyed their dinner of duck and tuna.

Duck and tuna sounds like a fine dinner to me.

John G., the roaster blew a fuse.

That’s when you light up the grill.

John G. · « **Reply #138 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:02:39 PM »

We had smoked pork butt, crab dip, baked pears, green beans with garlic and homemade bread. Desserts included chocolate ganache tart with raspberries and pumpkin pie.

John G. · « **Reply #139 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:03:06 PM »

And five bottles of wine for four people.

John G. · « **Reply #140 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:04:45 PM »

Vixmom, I want some of the spanakopita.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #141 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:08:40 PM »

Just now, Annabelle jumped into the cage, pinned Thatch down and cleaned him. She wants a baby. I'm not sure he wants a mother.

Did she have a litter that was taken from her?

John your wine to diner ratio sounds about right

vixmom · « **Reply #145 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:28:32 PM »

And your desserts sound fancy

vixmom · « **Reply #146 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:29:10 PM »

Do you have a recipe for the baked pears?

vixmom · « **Reply #147 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:30:11 PM »

The Vixter and her BF called between dinner and dessert when she arrived home from work

I’ll ask. I think they were just halved and cored, then baked with a little butter on them.

John G. · « **Reply #149 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:45:25 PM »

Let’s move on.
