Good morning.

And Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Notes turkey. Lurked.
-
Hi Laura!
-
Happy Thanksgiving, crew!
-
Why am I awake at 3:30? Little tummy ache. But a glass of water helped.
-
George, that was a helluva adventure. Did you leave the mysterious valve off?
-
TOD: The only thing I want is turkey, stuffing (properly made), and gravy. Maybe mashed potatoes to hold more gravy.
-
No one knew where our water shutoff valve was when we moved in here. There is a main curbside one, but you really want to use one at the house. I was able to find it in the deep recesses of our crawlspace, which, luckily, is more of a walking-around space. I hope your mom’s place has one other than the street one.
-
A friend of Mrs Rodz is in town. We’ll take her on a tour of Vancouver and eat at a restaurant there. Likely no turkey this year. What I eat most, traditionally, is mashed potatoes and corn. I do not ever eat cranberry gunk.
-
George, your story about the appliances at your mom's house in last night's posts was really interesting!
-
I still don't know if anyone is coming today.
-
Wae-Ling texted me last night. She's alone for the holiday this year and asked if she could come help cook the turkey.
-
I still don't know if anyone is coming today.
When will you know? If they don't come today, will they come for leftovers tomorrow?
-
So there's Sassy and Wae-Ling.

Good morning, all!

I don't like the cranberry gunk that comes from the can.
But Skip made a great cranberry relish (which I chose not to wait until Thanksgiving to try).
-
Too warm last night, so I turned the AC on to 65 degreesF. By 3:45, when I woke for a bathroom break, all three cats were in bed with me. It was about 40+ degrees in the apartment. Stella didn't stay long, but Annabelle wanted under the blankets, where she settled in the curve if my back and hips while Thatch was happy sleeping next to my back and shoulders.
-
DR George, I loved your appliance tale; I almost thought our DR vixmom had returned to us.
-
Yesterday morning, I was set to begin writing the ballet prelude when my neighbor Ann, whom I've not seen in weeks beccause of her schedule, stopped by. She told me about the opning night of Chess, and we caught up on all that'oing on at 202 West 82. Then she was off to the matinee of the Bobby Darin musical.
-
So, this morning I will begin the ballet prelude.
-
As for the TOD: I'm in sync with DR Laura: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy' it's a carbohydrate day with cranberries to cut the starch.
-
Maybe, just maybe, I'll fall asleep at some point - that point hasn't happened yet, despite numerous tries.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I had a weird night of sleep / no sleep. At 10 pm I was ready to call it a night, having had a very active and hectic day. I turned off the light and fell asleep in pretty short order. I woke up, thinking it was nearly morning... at 11:17 pm. Lordy. Then back to sleep, again waking briefly a couple more times, until 2:48 when I got up to use the necessary. And then... and then... I lay there wide awake... until sometime after 5:00 am when I mercifully fell asleep and finally awoke at 8:00 am.

PAGE TWO!

TOD
The turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce are, together, my number one, and I will take multiple second helpings.
I have to single out the stuffing when I make it because it's a meal in itself. The leftover stuffing and cranberry sauce sandwiches are fabulous.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Happy Thanksgiving!
-
TOD:
I’m a bit of a heretic, but the traditional Thanksgiving dinner leaves me cold. All that dead food. I eat it, mostly out of politeness.
Today, I will be having two meals. The one I am looking more to eating is Chinese hot pot. You cook your shrimp, beef, lobster ball or more in a giant pot filled with a broth. Each item the flavors the broth. Excellent stuff.
Both meals will be wonderful because of having them with friends.

Wow, the Buena Vista Social Club Broadway cast made a very appealing presentation on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

And, wow - Cynthia has a really long name!

Google's AI says this about Ariana Grande's name
"Ariana Grande's full name is Ariana Grande-Butera. She is an American singer and actress whose full name is sometimes used in credits, such as for the film Wicked. The hyphenated last name combines her mother's maiden name, Grande, and her father's last name, Butera."
-
Is he related to Sam Butera?
-
TOD:
Turkey & dressing.
-
I'm not sure that I know where my shut off valve is.....well the water shut off valve.
-
Tomorrow I am having my labs redone as set up in August.
-
TOD:
Most definitely the mashed potatoes.
-
I watched No Way Out last night.
Hadn't seen it in many a year. It's very entertaining and surprising.
-
Ann and Jen took Jen's niece to the parade this morning. Ann stopped by to say hello and took this photo of Stella up in the bookshelves.
-

Which No Way Out? Costner? Poitier? Other?

I am thankful for page 3.

Love that photo!

That would be interesting if so!
This is what wikipedia says:
"Ariana Grande-Butera was born on June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida. She is the daughter of Joan Grande, the Brooklyn-born CEO of Hose-McCann Communications, a manufacturer of marine communications equipment owned by the Grande family since 1964, and Edward Butera, a graphic design firm owner in Boca Raton. Grande is of Italian descent and has described herself as an Italian American with Sicilian and Abruzzese roots. She has an older half-brother, Frankie Grande, who is an entertainer and producer. Her family moved from New York to Florida before her birth, and her parents separated when she was eight or nine years old. Grande had a close relationship with her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Grande."

"No, Sam Butera and Edward Butera are not related. Sam Butera was a famous tenor saxophonist and singer, while Edward Butera is a graphic designer and the father of singer Ariana Grande. They have no known family connection. "

Off to prepare the chestnuts for the stuffing.

From DR Singdaw,
I had to use the utmost self-restraint to keep from yelling out, "FISH?"
;D
-
From DR John,
Tonight’s Thanksgiving Eve dinner was wonderful. I have been getting together with these friends for 24 or 25 years.
Such a nice, long tradition with your friends.
-

The Costner was on TCM late last night. I watched The China Syndrome and very much enjoyed seeing that after several years, but didn't have it in me to tackle the later ones this time. Would have enjoyed this, though.
-
Happy Thanksgiving!
-
DR George, what a saga from yesterday and all you got for it was a microwave. Vibes the water valve can be found and doesn't need replacing.
-
From George,
Wow...it's been a while since Keith has needed all six guesses. But good that he got it!
You know he was relieved-lol. Lucky for him, there was only one word left to use when he got to the sixth line.

That seems like an odd place.

Another person who stays away from the cranberry gunk ;D

Welcome to my world.
I went to sleep just after 10:00 and woke up at 10:30. I did finally get back to sleep around 2:30.

Good result vibes.

"No, Sam Butera and Edward Butera are not related. Sam Butera was a famous tenor saxophonist and singer, while Edward Butera is a graphic designer and the father of singer Ariana Grande. They have no known family connection. "
In other words, if she is related to Sam Butera, there are no Witnesses.

Is there a "story" about Sam Butera?

We have a water room inside our condo and can easily turn the water off, which we do before we travel. In the garage there is something that can be pulled to turn the water off for our unit and the two units above us. That is in case the neighbors above us are flooding us with water.

Hmm, this sounds like a situation where, if neighbors really disliked each other, this could be a clue in a detective movie. :)
-
I'm up, I'm up - about five and a half hours of sleep.
-
I cancelled the Wechters - the thought of a forty-minute drive each way was not appealing when I'm this trashed.
-
I was able to get a table at nearby El Torito for their Thanksgiving buffet thing, which dear reader Jeanne and I have done and I was hoping she'd come up but she's not up to it. Trying to find someone who's not doing anything, otherwise I'll change it to just me and go over there at three.
-
I'd go back to bed but I think I'd sleep all day.

So sorry, BK.

Can't find anyone to go, so I'll be there on my own. That's fine, too.
-
Enjoy your meal.

Thanksgiving buffet sounds fun.
-
Thanks DR FREDDIE.
It was the Costner version DR RODZINSKI.
No story RE: Sam Butera. He had a band/group called The Witnesses....and they toured and were in a couple of Sam Katzman spectaculars.

They also did a lot of work with Keely Smith & Louis Prima.

LOL, my mind went to wondering if there was some legally checkered thing then! :)
