Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the cranberries, and now it is time for you to post until the post-Thanksgiving cows come home.

I remember that I watched "Twin Peaks" for a while, when it was originally on, but I don't remember why I didn't watch the entire series.

I loved Twin Peaks in its original airing, and own the Gold Box, though haven't partaken yet. bk, when you posted that creamed corn recipe yesterday it immediately made me think of Twin Peaks! Although the corn doesn't come into play until later in Season 2, I think. Unfortunately, the show lost its way a bit in Season 2, though I still thought it was wildly entertaining.

It's only a little bit past five am on the east coast, and I'm up. I didn't say that I'm fully awake, but, a shower and a cup of joe will put me in that state.

It's BLACK FRIDAY! Time to work.

Ugh! Black Friday! Count me out.

In today's NY Times, A.O. Scott makes this observation in his film review:

Quote

There are not too many screen performances that manage to be both subtle and monumental. Watching Mr. Langella’s slow, gracious movement through “Starting Out in the Evening,” I was reminded of Burt Lancaster in Luchino Visconti’s adaptation of “The Leopard.” In some ways the comparison is absurd — Visconti’s film is a sweeping historical symphony, while Mr. Wagner’s is a stately string quartet — but both movies concern an old man who has outlasted the social order in which his life made sense. And what is so remarkable about Mr. Langella is that he seems to hold Leonard’s intellectual cosmos inside him, to make it implicit in the man’s every gesture and pause.

This is my idea of hell. I have never gone shopping on Black Friday.

Thanks for posting that, Sing! I am insanely jealous, and also glad to see our Marietta boy done good!

Nice house!!!

Well.....I wouldn't be bothered if ALL of the Survivor footage was unseen, but that's just me!

Holofrastic!

Isn't that what Mary Poppins said about Sundays?

I liked Twin Peaks. I, too, thought the casting was wonderful. I loved seeing so many people I liked in one show.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2007, 05:05:45 AM »

Working today, but our regular hours: 10-7. I got all of the decorations out on Tuesday and put them in the work room, and I am taking my Christmas music CD's to play. So we are ready......I hope the customers are.

Friday morning greetings! We had quite a nice day yesterday, traveling with my mother to the home of Richard's younger brother in Cincinnati. In addition to the 3 of us and the 3 of them (their son Christopher is visiting on leave from the Air Force), my sister-in-law's sister, brother, and niece were there from out of town and the mother of Christopher's long-time friend Mike from the neighborhood.

After drinking a toast to Harriet, we consumed a fantastic meal of turkey, apricot stuffing, Honey Baked ham, mashed potatoes, roasted cauliflower and brussels sprouts, green bean casserole, and black cherry Jello. For dessert, I had taken pumpkin, pecan, and apple pie, and others had made pumpkin fluff and sweet potato/chocolate bars. The latter tasted much better than they sound.

We got home about 9pm and DS Rob called from Michigan, sounding maybe just a little homesick.

Thanksgiving Report from DR GINNY appreciated. Recorded in the minutes.

Ginny · « **Reply #21 on:** November 23, 2007, 05:48:12 AM »

No shopping for me today, either. We're cooking our own turkey dinner for my mom and my reclusive aunt, who was invited yesterday, but chooses only to attend parties when they're at our house.

Media check - DVD - 2 Jonathan Pryce movies, Small Miracles and Behind the Lines. As for CDs, since it's still Thanksgiving in our home today, no Christmas music until tomorrow. I've been riding with DH Richard in his car the past several days and getting involved in his audiobook, Catharine Coulter's The Cove.

DearReaderLaura DR: A day late, but this "recipe" appeared yesterday in The New York Times. To be fair, not as an actual recipe, but mentioned [in passing] in an article about keeping a "thanks" journal:

Quote

Peel up a bag or two of yellow onions (not the pearl variety, just regular yellow ones, preferably on the smaller side). Boil them in a pot of water for 20 minutes or so. Drain. Throw in a block or two of cream cheese. Stir as the cream cheese melts. Serve.

Pumpkin Fluff is a Weight Watchers recipe: 16 oz. can of pumpkin, 1.5 oz box of sugar-free instant vanilla (yesterday's used butterscotch) pudding mix, 8 oz. fat-free Cool Whip, pumpkin pie spice to taste. This was provided for one of the guests who's diabetic, but everyone tasted it. I read a suggestion online to serve it as a dip for graham crackers.

Thanks, DR Ginny!

Did anyone else see this article about a new/old theory on the Kennedy assassination yesterday in the Times?

Good morning, all! The temperature did drop last night: I slept with the window wide open last night, but this morning I had to drop it to a fraction of what it was. I slept well, but I had peculiar dreams, the last one being one about my wallet being stolen and my frustrations with reporting it to the post office(

). Why I didn't grab a phone or go to the police station is beyond me.

My Mac man is showing up today to determine why my hard drive refuses to do any backup on this new Mac, and I have some Toyland work at home.

I always thought TWIN PEAKS was so much twaddle: less there than meets the eye. I detested it enough during its heyday to never want to see it again. I know others liked it but I felt it was all mouldy frosting and no cake.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I think I may go back to bed to catch a few more winks. We shall see...
