This red panda must've just had some turkey - he was awfully sleepy...

Great pics Jason.
Not to be confused with the oft heard "Great pecs Jason".

Hmm...I tried to post a picture of the giraffes, but apparently the upload folder is full. Oh, well...

Oh, dear me, it is not enough to say you were at Thanksgiving dinner - we must have full reports from one and all and also all and one - we must know every morsel of food that was served and ingested. We must have detail upon detail, not necessarily in that order.

DR George, I am very confused. Which Macy's did you need? The first hour of CBS or NBC?

Lovely to have DR Elmore over, along with Do-Re-Milla and other sundried peoples, plus a neighbor dog, with whom one of our little ones got into a tussle apparently over who had the right to some precious dropped food. It added some excitement to an afternoon already rife with excitement; Do-Re-Milla and DR Elmore in a room together alone carry enough star wattage, but add also some other stellar persons who know the true meaning of the phrase "I never repeat gossip, so listen carefully the first time" - and you've got a funfest for which I truly gave thanks.

DR elmore - Sounds like a great dinner? Did you bring a dry change of clothes with you?

Well, I was doing an impersonation of you!

My brother and sister-in-law and nephew have made it safely to the Beach of My Ami (Or more accurately the Beach of My Mammy and Daddy). They checked into the hotel and claimed to have gotten the hotel to reserve the room next to theirs for my arrival tomorrow. So far, with this and the promise of free internet, the hotel sounds very accommodating.

The menu. Well, we ate shrimp, cheese puffs, port wine cheddar, brie, kielbase with cheese, then we ate turkey, stuffing, corn pudding (or porn cudding, as one of our friends likes to call it) and yams until we thought we could eat no more, then we had pumpkin pie with brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on the side.

Good Evening!

Phase I of the Simbulan Thanksgiving Feast has just ended - turkey, ham, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes (with monterey jack cheese mixed in), sweet potatoes (prepared fresh!, not canned), rolls, gravy, cranberry relish, and assorted beverages for everyone! My sister-in-law prepared the turkey, and she did quite a good job. Very good, flavorful and juicy.

Next up, Phase II - a.k.a Dessert. -We're all just digesting for a few minutes. On the dessert table - Caramel Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bread, Apple-Pear Chardonnay Tarte (from Balducci's) and Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream.

-And, yes, the diet resumes tomorrow.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #132 on:** November 24, 2005, 05:11:15 PM »

MMMmmm-mmmmmm Good!!!

That caramel-pecan pie is da' bomb! And, surprisingly, not too sweet.

And the Apple-Pear Chardonnay Tarte - more like a crostada - was/is very good too. A very sophisticated pie. Granny Smith apples, Bosc pears, golden raisins and a hint of Chardonnay. Yummy!

Just finished watching JOEY. NBC should change the title to DEAD HORSE because they keep flogging it and nothing works. When did Thursday become "must-miss"?

DR MATTH - I saw that Rod Serling bio when it first aired and was fasinated. There is also a VERY good Serling bio around if you haven't read it.

My Thanksgiving Dinner was/is scrumptious, although the pork loin roast was not sufficiently thawed to be cooked today (how many days DOES it take to thaw a 3-lb pork loin?

?)

Still, I had prepared a small rotisseried pork roast two days ago and that filled the gap. The sweet potato souffle is incredible, and the cranberry-pear relish delectable.

Yummy yum-yum!

Believe it or not, I have allowed my brain to rest today. The TV has been on the "That 70's Show" marathon on F/X. Mindless humor runs rampant.

I did catch some of the parade this morning. On NBC I caught a gosh-awful number from "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with Norbert Leo Butz and an evern more gosh-awful number from "Chitty Chitty Bang-Bang." There was a Rockettes number that was nifty, though.
And there was a number, which I think was staged at some landmark in central park, from "Wicked." The ladies playing Glinda and Elphaba performed "For Good" and it was good and touching and a pleasure to witness.

I'd switch to CBS during commercials, and it was on CBS that I saw the Barney balloon bite the dust. Looked like a glorious, if cold, NYC day!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #138 on:** November 24, 2005, 05:44:02 PM »

I had thought I might catch "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" tonight, but I don't quite feel up to snuff. I am flirting with a head cold and its associated effects on my body. I am ahead in the fight, but I cannot be too careful.

At the rate they're going this year, the corpse of anyone would liven up W/G a bit.

Last year when "Joey" first aired. For me, it was DOA.

There is nothing funny in this show, for me. The character, Joey, is NOT a leading character...and should not be the only funny character in the show.

I find the cast mostly boring and unattractive.

The night's fate was sealed this season when "Will and Grace" returned for an 8th season, but forgot to tell the writers whose previous-year leavings must be what they're using for story lines this year. I've seen all this season's episodes and cannot remember laughing more than once....period. Debra Messing isn't back to form after having her first child and appears to be pregnant again. Will is not being developed in any positive way, and the story arcs seem to be leading him toward a partnership with Jack...an ill-advised, unfortunate and sad development if I'm reading it corerctly. That would make Will the single most pathetic and masochistic character in the history of Television...hell, in the history of entertainment, period.

The weather was very WINDY all day - and now the wind has died down, and it is VERY cold. Temperatures are predicted for the single digits tonight!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #148 on:** November 24, 2005, 06:04:35 PM »

I agree that ending the series with Will and Jack together would be a mistake.

But ending the series is imperative. I haven't really laughed at it for a long time and it is one of the worst offenders of the A story-B story type of sitcom writing that is so popular today.

I had a great salad and some meatballs and some pound cake today.

Molly and Jason came by and they are getting a divorce. I guess I am not suprised, but it will be an adjustment for everybody. They seem to be okay with the decision, and as I say it's not unexpected.

I don't have to work until Saturday, so I think I will watch MOVIES tonight and TOMORROW! No shopping for me! I learned my lesson!
