Larry, I sent you a PM.

I just saw your email and replied. Thank you.

Got it, thanks!

Have a fantastic day, DR FJL!

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

I started the day finishing Jane Smiley's Moo and now I'm dealing with Hillbilly Elegy. What a heart-warming start to the day!

Missing my baby girl

The period between Thanksgiving and Jan. 2 is a real round of family melancholy. You can always adopt me, DR vixmom. I will never move to Florida!

I have to pick my mom at at 2 and go to my brothers for dinner

I need to get my ingredients together in a bit for the Greek salad I'm taking to dinner.

I'm only reading it on the bus. i figure I will finish it around March 2017.

Dinner with friends last night was wonderful. The company was great, the food divine. I had roast chicken with haricot verts, a salad with avocado and a host of fresh vegetables, an enormous cheese plate instead of dessert and a few appetizers that we all shared.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #71 on:** November 24, 2016, 07:54:15 AM »

I must go to market and think about what to take to the dinner. A 12-pack of Vernor's would be ideal, but it would never get out of the apartment.

I will head out as soon as the laundry goes into the dryers in about 15 minutes. i can get there and back in 45 minutes.

Matthew, great photo of your dogs!

I bought a turkey breast and a pumpkin pie so we can have our own "leftovers " tomorrow and over the weekend my brother and his wife and her family don't believe in pumpkin pie so there will be cherry and apple pie and chocolate pudding

John G. · « **Reply #76 on:** November 24, 2016, 07:57:22 AM »

BK, I really wanted to see Queen of Katwe. I don't think it ever played here, not that I would know anymore. So, please let us know what you think.

I am a traditionalist and believe thanksgiving is not complete without pumpkin pie

Is this some cult they belong to that they don't believe in pumpkin pie? How do their tinfoil hats fit?

OK, Laura, please explain:

Another reason to adopt me!

The only holiday dessert I never could stand was mince pie. My grandmother and Aunt Dorothy both made fantastic fruitcake.

Time for a break!

We have pumpkin and apple pie here today.

I never think of fruitcake. I LOVE fruitcake. I'm terrible at shopping for them because I have no idea which one is going to be to my liking. Probably most of them, but there are a few weird ones out there, and I've wound up with a couple of them over the years.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #83 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:38:03 AM »

And I always loved mince pie, even as a kid. What I wonder is whether we ever had a "real" mincemeat pie. I'd like to try one now to see what I think of it. But a regular "mince" pie is fine, too. That was one I'd get at House of Pies now and then.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #84 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:39:38 AM »

Well, I need to get busy again.

I have a great fruitcake recipe from the New York Times about 1975. It is deeeeelicious!

I went to Campbells Soup's easy recipe site, and i will take a Swiss vegetable casserole.

I am such a child of the 1950s!

Just returned from a Thanksgiving visit with Mom. I took her a piece of pumpkin pie that will probably still be in her fridge when we visit her for her birthday on Sunday.
