I will also have you all know that I have attained my personal best --

By eating the same meal seven consecutive days.

I refer, of course, to Thanksgiving dinner and its leftovers.

What's weird is that we "went small" this year. We had one guest, Kristi's cousin from West Haven, so, four of us, and we got a 15-lb turkey. We've gone as large as 22 lbs or more in the past, but even this seemed quite large for us. The cousin took home a bunch of leftovers, and here I am, still eating turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce a week later. I know I make a ton of those sides, and frankly, I'm glad I do. They keep beautifully, and it's all such a great collective comfort food.

Title: Re: A MOVIE I ACTUALLY LIKED

Of course, there's a limited amount of stuffing, since it goes INSIDE the turkey.

Chas, all our dressing disappeared in one meal; Wae-Ling filled her plate with it.

I know you disapprove, but mine is all outside the turkey. So maybe I really should be calling it dressing (?). Even so, it is my single favorite item (tied with the cranberry sauce) on the table. But that's why I make a ton of it.
Title: Re: A MOVIE I ACTUALLY LIKED
Post by: ChasSmith on December 02, 2021, 06:29:17 AM
We tried doing it INSIDE several years ago, and I wasn't so happy with the result. But I also hadn't zeroed in on my own recipe for it, either. But I probably grew up with it INSIDE, even I don't specifically remember it. I'm thinking I'll make a point of doing it both ways next time, and we'll see what happens.

But poor Fred is just awfully......well.....plain looking or maybe I used to stunning folks in movies....and Miss Ginger's "acting" in the play is just so awful it's hard to believe.....I still can't understand why she is SO MAD when she reciting....it's scary bad!

It was my modem. The serviceman was a nice young man named Jose. He was here, maybe, 45 minutes, he repaced my modem and all was good. Stella was a little hyper, Annabelle refused to rise from her hammock to greet him, which was surprising since she loves greeting people, and Thatch hid under the bed.

Thursday afternoon greetings!  We've been to Dayton for Richard's second appointment at the burn clinic.  Nurse Practitioner Erin was very encouraged and says the likelihood of skin graft surgery is significantly reduced because feeling is coming back.  That, of course, means pain, so he's on meds for that.  We had a nice brunch at First Watch on the way home and I did a very fruitful (well, cookie-ful) errand.

LOL @ DR RON PULLIAM - I watched THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY last night and I really loved how that final scene played.....Fred & Ginger are great when they turn it on!

But poor Fred is just awfully......well.....plain looking or maybe I used to stunning folks in movies....and Miss Ginger's "acting" in the play is just so awful it's hard to believe.....I still can't understand why she is SO MAD when she reciting....it's scary bad!

I have always pondered that ridiculous scene, but I keep coming back to the same conclusion: It was truly Ginger Rogers thinking she was being great!

Back from a LOT o' stuff. Car started fine, but has been wonky about locking properly - until I got home, when it locked as it should - we'll see if that works. I did go to my repair place and they checked the battery and while it's down just a bit, it still seems to be healthy. But they said immediately that there's a short somewhere that's not shutting things down properly - it's $95 for a diagnostic, which, for me, is a waste of money because I think a repair bill to fix it will be throwing good money after bad at this point in time with this particular motor car.  But, I may take it in and let them have it for a day. But that means I'm sans car and that's really hard at this time of year, and Uber is a joke.

Hard drive is at Fed Ex and ready to go. Some clearly insane black fellow was walking the parking lot screaming at everyone trying to pick a fight. When people wouldn't engage he'd say "What, you want to shoot me, kill me, call the cops?" Someone SHOULD have called the cops because these deranged individuals are just the kind of people who will pull out a knife or gun.

My late uncle's two kitties are going to be re-homed [not through a shelter].  So they had to go to the vet today to make sure they are okay and all up to date.

It took three of us to capture them and put them in their carriers.  And oh the crying and moaning......it was pitiful.  I felt so bad.  I know they were calling for their master who just won't be coming back......

They came home this afternoon and will be gathered again next week for the trip to their new home.  They do get to stay together.

AND it turned out that my uncle was mistaken when he said they had last been to the vet in 2018......it was 2009!

$600!  And of course it's out of our pockets right now because the estate money is frozen solid.

We need to know where you had the very tasty cheeseburger and onion rings.
Thanks in advance.


I have a social membership at the Pine Ridge Club.  It's mostly golfers and they pay through the nose, but a social membership 9for a modest monthly fee)  allows me to dine in and to use their pool and attend special functions not on the fairway.   So, I ordered from there.  It's the best burger in town and the onion rings are pretty darned tasty, too.  It hasn't actually been a treat since the pandemic.  Menu is a bit restricted and if you don't reserve a table or get there by 6 p.m., you're lucky if they have anything available that they could prepared before 9 or 10 p.m.  The's because they lost theiir sous chef and some staff and no one has stepped up to fill those gaps.

I got to see their Christmas tree on my way out

Tomorrow is another day.

It is also the birthday of the fiancee of my cousin Butch, who is two years younger than I.  He has planned for a party of 14 to surprise her at a new restaurant in the town of Edgefield, the seat of Edgefield County.  Strom Thurmond was from Edgefield, just to give you some perspective of where I am and up with which I put.

At any rate, the eatery is called Christina's and it specializes in locally grown everything.  I have heard only good things about it, so we shall see. 

Yes.

It's in a building that "used to be" Nonna's...a rather chi-chi and very expensive (and SO not worth it) Italian restaurant. A plate of spaghetti with meat sauce was $25.  You got a lot, but you really didn't want that much.  A glass of red wine was $13.  I have paid less than that for a bottle of very good wine (well...when I was in  Italy).  I went once and only once. I had two glasses of wine with my spaghetti and paid over $50 for the privilege.  Oy!

Then Annie said that they shouldn't arrest Miss Hannigan because she tried to save Annie, so Warbucks asked President Hoover to make Miss Hannigan the first worker in his New Deal to put unemployed workers to work...since the orphanage is now closed and she's one of the 5 million unemployed.

Anyway, even with all that said, I really did enjoy it.

The TV soundtrack won't be released until January 21 and I plan to get it.

Is anyone watching Annie?


I watched it.  It was interesting.  Some good parts, but it didn’t seem to gel into one complete musical.

Oh, my f'ing goodness!  Here's a segment from tonight's The Rachel Maddow Show.  Rachel reports that Anti-Vaxxers Are Literally Eating Dirt To Fight Covid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-UEnDQBLxw). :o

Rachel Maddow looks at the increasingly extreme and bizarre ideas being pursued by people who eschew Covid vaccines in favor of imaginary remedies, and shares reporting from Brandy Zadrozny of NBC News on an alarming number of people purchasing bags of dirt they've been convinced have medicinal value.

Back from a LOT o' stuff. Car started fine, but has been wonky about locking properly - until I got home, when it locked as it should - we'll see if that works. I did go to my repair place and they checked the battery and while it's down just a bit, it still seems to be healthy. But they said immediately that there's a short somewhere that's not shutting things down properly - it's $95 for a diagnostic, which, for me, is a waste of money because I think a repair bill to fix it will be throwing good money after bad at this point in time with this particular motor car.  But, I may take it in and let them have it for a day. But that means I'm sans car and that's really hard at this time of year, and Uber is a joke.


I thought you wrote, ”Car started fire.”.  I thought, Oh my God.  Get rid of it.
