e does F want thanksgiving dinner or does he not care?
― jergins, Friday, 27 November 2009 04:54 (fourteen years ago) link
he loves it. we are having our thanksgiving in four hours. we usually do it on the friday so we're in synch with the states. he snuck home at lunch so he can have a long weekend. i just made stuffing while f. prepped the turkey and harry lay under the christmas tree, he loves it down there. we called f.'s family and now f. is taking a nap<3

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 07:33 (fourteen years ago) link

― jergins, Saturday, 28 November 2009 07:35 (fourteen years ago) link
i certainly would not eat that
― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 07:36 (fourteen years ago) link
why would you eat a ring, that'd be silly!

― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 28 November 2009 12:24 (fourteen years ago) link
i dunno i like to watch crappy cable shows about prison and i've seen a couple about smuggling stuff and the guards always use the word "secreted" when an inmate secrets something inside his person. i always liked how it had two possible meanings if you read it.

happy thanksgiving!! (belatedly)
<3
spent ours in chicago with the whanau. food was terrible. gah i have a terrible dislike of t-giving food except for the fake mashed potatoes my sis in law made. but seriously: sweet potatoes with marshmallows and cinnamon?? wtf is that about.
on the upside:got close to $500 in gift cards at our wedding shower (which was supposed to be a bridal shower but i insisted that jordan be allowed to come so he was the only guy there)got a SUPER FLASH GREEN IPOD for an early bday present from my lovely inlaws

congrats on getting that green card!
― jaq, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 00:45 (fourteen years ago) link
can't believe they'd give you a green card what with the thanksgiving food hate. wasn't that one of the questions in ur interview???
― jergins, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 03:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i heard of some green card interviews where they make sure you finish all the potatoes, all the stuffing, even check under your plate and in your pockets. strict but important imo
― jergins, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 03:39 (fourteen years ago) link
even the orange jello w/ shredded carrot salad? That's harsh.

once between lines in the pledge of allegiance i had to take bites of canned cranberrie sauce. it was gross but worth it in the end

estela, are you eating turkey right now?
― lxy, Thursday, 22 November 2012 02:56 (eleven years ago) link
no, we always have thanksgiving on friday so it ties in with when the rest of the family is having theirs and also so it can be the start of a long weekend. i have to go and pick up the turkey soon and i don't wanta but at least i did all the other food shopping already. it's very hot, hopefully tomorrow will be more reasonable.
― estela, Thursday, 22 November 2012 03:06 (eleven years ago) link
i like thanksgiving
― t. silaviver, Thursday, 22 November 2012 04:01 (eleven years ago) link
I am in Miami FL today where the weather is most unThanksgivinglike. Food starts around 2 at my son's house; I brought homemade apple butter and cranberry-quince-pecan-port-cassis relish. Also will pick up wine if a shop is open.
― jaq, Thursday, 22 November 2012 14:18 (eleven years ago) link
We started out the day with a 5k. It sucked. I have not been running enough and i felt like a slowpoke. But now we have acquired bourbon and i think it will be a chill day.

i just woke up and first i'm going to make pie crust and then while it's chilling i"ll make stuffing and then i'll finish the pie (pumpkin) and when the pie comes out of the oven we'll put the turkey in, which harry will guard while it cooks, he loves thanksgiving dinner but wishes it didn't talke so long.
― estela, Thursday, 22 November 2012 21:58 (eleven years ago) link
tofurkey is in oven
i forgot to actually look at the instructions till just before i felt ready to cook. turns out it takes like 1.5 hours!!! i still have brussels sprouts to roast and a chocolate self saucing pudding to bake!!! and buttermilk biscuits!!!
guess we will be eating at... 10pm
― smoove operator, Friday, 23 November 2012 01:17 (eleven years ago) link
