Just a couple of drops of rain here.

[George]

Good morning. I will be working in the kitchen at the church today preparing for a 97th birthday party after the service.

She is actually my mother-in-law's former roommate! They were roommates before WW2, if I understand correctly.

A Very Happy Birthday to your mother-in-law's former roommate!

[George]

I am watching Ben Bailey stand up comedy routine on Netflix. I highly recommend it

I must watch this.  I always enjoyed him in "Cash Cab."

[Jrand74]

Yes DR ELMORE that is the one. 

I don't know why it works DR CHAS SMITH....but it did for me.  It has a pressure point that you put just below your knee - left or right - strange.

Yes that is another BIG turkey.

The Birthday Girl was so happy to have so many friends and family present. Her son passed away last month, so she needed to have something happy.

Nice.

[elmore3003]

Yes DR ELMORE that is the one. 

Thank you, DR JRand66!

I've spent the afternoon chopping up broccoli and cauliflower.  I have to put them into storage containers.

Then, dinner!

[George]

Sunday morning greetings!  Richard and I just put a 17.5 pound turkey in the oven.  Our Thanksgiving feast will be at 2pm so that Paramedic Rob can be at work at 4.

I remember years ago, one of my coworkers was having her whole family from both sides at her house for Thanksgiving.  They got a 39 pound turkey!  It took 13, count 'em, 13 hours to cook!  She said that it was so big, there was only about an inch of room on each side of the bird in her oven.

[George]

Something I'm still surprised about (maybe a possible chat topic if anyone else cares):  There's a new practice of having vendors go up and down the aisles before a show and at intermission, with candy, wine, soda, and other concessions.  This seems to make it clear that it's fine with management to eat, drink and rattle wrappers during the show.   This didn't really disturb me at a show like "Beautiful" which while emotional in its intimate story is mostly funny and light in its style.  But all the M&M's, etc, seemed all wrong at FIDDLER, with lops of chomping and slurping going on during deeply felt, emotional moments.

In London, even as far back as 1990, they used to roam the aisles with ice cream, but ice cream was relatively quiet. 

I don't like the idea of people eating during a show. Eat at intermission!

I agree, DR Jennifer.  It's a ridiculous situation.

DITTO.  It's a shameless dumbing down of the theatre.

Yes!  This is a terrible thing to allow in theaters!

Wouldn't life be easier baking two turkeys around 20 lbs each?

[Laura]

I didn't even know turkeys grew that big!

Two turkeys would require two ovens.

I'd bake one one day and the other the next.  Or have two ovens.

[Ginny]

Our 2016 Thanksgiving feast was a success and I'm one tired hostess.  The leftovers are stored and the dishwasher is running.  And I quit for the night.

Several years ago we had 2 turkeys - we cooked one and Rob and Mary Linda cooked the other with gluten-free stuffing.

Probably, but I think they that they raised the bird specifically for that Thanksgiving, so they didn't have to buy it.

Back from another lovely session, then dinner.  Once again, we wrapped two hours early, saving Kay four hours of studio time.  I think it's going to be a really good album.  After we all went to Lenny's Deli (formerly Junior's) - I had kishka and a chicken wrap - both very good.  And I was able to get back to the Valley in time to pick up my little speaker stands that tilt the speakers up slightly so that the tweeters are at ear level - much better.  The traffic coming home was ridiculous and pointless on a Sunday at ten after four.  We did have us a little bit of rain but really barely a drizzle while I was on the freeway.  But nice to see some rain here and maybe we'll have a reasonable amount for a few hours or, better yet, a day or two.

A nice, cozy night - that's what I'M talkin' about.

[vixmom]

Trader Joe's fresh young brined etc.

What time should we be there for dinner?

[vixmom]

The Birthday Party was a success. My best helper is five years old. He wears his little blue apron with pride.

This post made me very happy

[vixmom]

We are going to my brothers for thanksgiving

[vixmom]

I am trying to decide if I should buy a small turkey of turkey breast to cook here so that we have  leftovers.

[Jane]

DR George we saw DR STRANGE today.  There were many scenes when I thought of you watching it in 3D 

[Jane]

DR elmore, this is what DR Jeanne had to say about anrica.  I don't recommend the Arnicare Cream by Boiron.  If it made a difference I haven't noticed. 

The Arnica Rub is my favorite of the Arnica topicals, since it has lots of other remedies in it as well. About a week ago I started a little trial of Topricin, a homeopathic cream for arthritis. I'm using it on my two arthritic fingers. It's helping. If you don't get results with Arnica, you may want to try Topricin. I've seen in on Amazon. It's very easy to use--no smell, absorbs easily, etc.

Life Extension has a wonderful supplement for arthritis, the Fast-Acting Joint Formula. It contains a high dose of hyaluronic acid and it really is fast-acting. A bit pricey, but very effective.

the Arnica Rub I like is by NatraBio. I see there is also one by A.Vogel, but that one is straight Arnica, the herb. The NatraBio product is a homeopathic combination product.

My cousin swears by Australian Dream for arthritis. I haven't tried it, but it has good reviews. She also uses Arnica for EVERYTHING, except when she's using Australian Dream.

In London, even as far back as 1990, they used to roam the aisles with ice cream, but ice cream was relatively quiet. 

During the movie today I munched on my potato chips during the noisy parts, fortunately there were plenty of them.

[Jane]

I smuggle in a small bag of chips or popcorn while Keith smuggles in a large bag of popcorn.  His is superior to most popcorn anywhere that we want to eat his.  I have a special purse I carry when we go.  Today the woman in front of us handed over her ticket and then was asked to open the two bags she was carrying.  I had a moment of panic-LOL.

[Jane]

She is actually my mother-in-law's former roommate! They were roommates before WW2, if I understand correctly.

[Jane]

She's wonderful, by the way. Still sharp as a tack and gets around just fine. I hope to be like her some day. Way, way in the future.

This is a great story.

[Jane]

My next dinner prep task requires getting up on my step stool to get the dishes from a top cupboard shelf.  Fr. Richard's at church, the upstairs housemates are not stirring, and my niece is visiting Gram, so I'm taking a break.  Won't get up there without a "spotter."

Smart lady

[Jane]

DR Vixmom I am glad you are feeling better.

[Jane]

I guess sciatica is what I'm suffering right now, still from the other night.  It got better, then I did a bunch of stuff yesterday and this morning it was awful again.

So, I wonder how the knee brace helps with it.  Seems like what you'd need is an ASS brace.

Well, let's not go there.

LOL, that does make more sense.
