Happy Thanksgiving Eve, everyone!!

BK, I have watched four episodes of the new season of Downton, and stalled after that, mostly because of being busy. I don't have a screener, but I have a European site where I can find them online. I love that.

I went to see the new Brian Dennehy play at the Taper last night with tix to the first preview, and was greeted by the fateful sign: "The role of.... normally played by Brian Dennehy...." GAAAAH! His understudy was on for the first preview. And I went specifically to see him. My date and I decided to pass, and sat and had coffee to catch up with each other instead. Ah, well, best laid plans. Hopefully I can snag another ticket for later in the run.

Have a wonderful holiday!! And in the words of a friend, who reminded me it's also the first day of Hannukah/Chanukah, "Gobble-Tov!"   :D

Would you care to share that site?

I am off to see A CHRISTMAS STORY on the big screen.  Just because I can.  And because I never did so back in the day.

That sounds like fun. I'm hoping to have a night free to see the musical version in town.

I'm afraid I'm going to miss Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson because of the BBQ book.

Went out to dinner with friends, which I have done for quite a few Thanksgiving Eves now. What was wonderful was that the young couple in the group is pregnant, which they've wanted for quite some time. And his father was just beaming.

The group I went to Italy with were all there and it was just wonderful to catch up with so many friends.

So, it's off to sleep for me.

Goodnight.   :)

I just made my first ever cranberry sauce.  And boy, was it difficult...  boil water and sugar, add cranberries... 

Couldn't wait for it to chill to have a taste, so took a little, and -- wow!  What intense flavor, both the tartness and sweetness. 

I'll never buy cranberry sauce again!    :)

The movie was fine, but would have been GREAT with more than half a dozen people for an audience.

There's no excuse for these turnouts.  I know it was the night before, etc., etc., but these vintage film events are not publicized worth a damn.  There's a trailer that hawks all four of these for the season (A Christmas Story, White Christmas, Christmas Vacation, and It's a Wonderful Life), so if anyone actually pays attention during it, they'll know.  But most of the people seeing those trailers are frickin' KIDS.  I knew about these because a friend is one of the managers.  (I also get into everything for free ... FREE!   :)  )

Over the past couple of years, the showings of Lawrence of Arabia, Cleopatra, The Birds -- those were "well" attended with 50 to 75 people per showing.  On the other hand, what perfect audiences they were.  Every one of them knew what they were there for.  A rare pleasure.

Don't mind me.  Just rambling.  But not in a Rambler.

I got a Thanksgiving card from my insurance company (I don't know why) and they included a recipe for cranberry sauce.  I don't remember the proportions (I still have it at home), but I think the only ingredients were cranberries, sugar and orange juice.  I wonder if it's any good.

Well, I'm finally leaving work.  I wanted to finish this batch of orders before the long weekend.  Anyway, now I need to go to Fred Meyer to get some eggs, butter and a pie crust for the pecan pie that I'm going to bake.  I have a jar of bourbon-flavored (the alcohol burns off when baked) pecan pie filling and all you add is the butter and eggs and the crust.  I hope that it turns out okay.  I love pecan pie. :D

Until later!

Time for me to get some sleep.  I have to get up early to give Callie her meds so I can get in 2 doses before I leave.   And Paul and I are going to meet for breakfast (if anything is open, lol)
