OMG. . . . . . . .DOG SIN PHOTOS.

HI JUDITH!!!!!!!!!!!! You made pies! good, what kind?

Patti said ERGO

and yeah, what DO we use to thicken our gravy??????

I'm puttering around the kitchen with the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia on TV in the background. I have to say I think we'd phit in well there--a giant balloon of Sam Hill floating high above whilst we Sillies in snowphlake sweaters, our pets in antlers phrolic below--waiving and cavorting. Wif confetti--lots of confetti

We could all stay at Em's hotel--a phab happy hour to be had there!!

capitol idea, Patricia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a wee, motley crew, with pets in tow....snowphlake sweaters? hmm.....will that be our costume? must ponder

So I went to her house and she launched into this long frazzled story about how she decided to clean out her yarn stash on the same weekend that her mom's coming and Thanksgiving and blah blah blah and she hasn't yet had a chance to sort out the skeins I came for and did I just want her whole bag

And so I have this big bag of beautiful purple and red and the fuschia cotton and some other cottons and some mohair and one skein of a weird green called celery (whadamI gonna do with that?)

_{I need a 12-step program}

:lol: did not know this about Jess, did we sillies? excellent.......a whole freakin' bag of phree yarn........

CELERY? one of me phavorite coloUrs, unless it's an UGLY celery.......if I send ya up some coordinating other coloUR will ya knit me sumfin? so jealous of the knitters......tried it.......completely heinous......uneven rows and stitches.........threw my body to the ground and......that was that

[nikki-uk]

I don't do mathS , ....might incorporate A$$hat (Arse-hat?) into me conflabs though

wasn't planning on having a drink before getting to the family dinner this aft but, looks like it's a possibility now, if wackl Miss G comes over...

[jerseyangel]

Just checkin in quick before we leave.....OMG--the gravy She said what we all know--either cornstarch or potato starch or arrowroot. She suggested a "slurry" to mix with the broth/drippings.

Have a great day sillies!!!!!!!

See ya'll later

[DingoGirl]

Al had a dental appt today....... the dentist asked what we was doing today......I replied we were celebrating the UK Thanksgiving.........she looked at me like this ---> and said 'Oh, how nice'

sillies - an excerpt from this wacky gal's blog- I guess her dog's name is Dingo Girl but - I think this gal should be a silly:

I understand that Central Park is gorgeous. What I don

[Darn210]

Turkey is in the oven. Rolls (Pamela's of course) are rising. I refrained from cutting into the pumpkin pie cake for breakfast . . . it's kind of obvious when there's a piece missing . . . not like you can rearrange it so that nobody notices. I've got about 30 minutes before it's time to peel potatos. Did I mention that we go for the late mid-day Thanksgiving meal? Then you can "snack" on leftovers the rest of the day.

I use my gluten-free flour mix to make gravy with just a bit extra potato starch added . . . otherwise it looks too jello-y . . . Remember Sarah's hot jello gravy from last year???

[elye]

We could all stay at Em's hotel--a phab happy hour to be had there!!

Maybe next year?

ABSOLUTELY!! What a great hotel that is - - and such a bonus. . . .. ...free alcoholic drinks and munchies every night from 5 to 7. I can just see the management quietly staring at me, leading in ten, twelve Psillies, post-parade, floats parked outside the lobby, marshmallow guns safely tucked in our holsters. . . ...

Lots of maths here last night, and prophanity, what exactly is a$hat?

Asshat. Hmm. . . . .. ..... I hear it this way. And I picture a verrrrrrry interesting hat. . . . . . . .....

and - the number two is a "peaceful, loving number" but - number 11 is terrifying

Yes. . . . .....and number nine is so exciting, so passionate, I can hardly stand it.

Judy staring at her yarn........

Jess.....I dunno what to say about this yarn situation. I think you should put ALL of your collected yarn balls out in the middle of your living room, and let all the cats have at 'er.

OR: Keep it all stored away for the Thanksgiving parade in Philly next year. We will use it for something, absolutely.

Soooozie! Get in touch with her, please. She needs to be on here. Chances are excellent that she has trouble with gluten (ya know, who doesn't), so that would be the lead-in.. . . . . once she's on here, asking newbie questions, we get her into Psillyville.

She would add a terrific spin to Sam Hill Manhead. . . . . .well, to everything!

[Judyin Philly]

*gasp*

JUDITH very funny - your food descriptions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yep, you gotta laugh or cry..........i chose to laugh too

must find me a staw before desert is slurped.

thanks susie for the giggle.

when are you leaving for your festivities?

[elye]

Sooze, ALWAYS have a drink before extensive time with the family....

Yep, fo sho. Speaking of which. . . . . ....... 24 days, 16 hours and forty minutes until MIL's plane touches down at the Ottawa International Airport.

Have a drink?? A drink?? As in, singular, ONE drink??? HA!!!!

my pecan pie is like eating rocks..........

the pumpkin is like soup................ maybe drink with a straw.

good I wish i could cook

Judy

Judy!! This is hilarious. Well, perhaps not fer you, but it's all very phuneee!

I know.......a Burundian, all of a sudden, in our phorum........

do you think it's someone just messin' wif us?

It is actually astonishing.

The one country, out of, what, 300 possible world nations, that we have connected to Sam Hill Manhead - - a tiny, barely significant place on the vast African continent - - suddenly is the place of residence of a new forum member. . .. ......who just happens to post whilst we are in the middle of a great Burundi/Twa mystery.

Coincidence?

Bah!

It is actually mind-blowingly hilarious . .. .. . . . . . . ..

[Darn210]

OK . . . I highly recommend the Pumpkin Pie Cake . . . Yummmmm-Meeeee.

Skeeter had to sit at the table for quite some time. Would NOT eat her turkey. Kept saying "But I like turkeys" . . . her favoUrite meal is fried chicken so don't get upset wif us because we didn't let her up until she ate half her serving. Her problem is that she thinks she doesn't like something and then puts ketchup on it to cover up the taste . . . yup, she put ketchup on the turkey and go figger, she didn't like it. Finally let her up and as she was bringing her dirty plate to the sink she said "Can I have a piece of my Halloween candy?" . . . Ummmmmm . . . NO!!!!

Later tonight . . . turkey sandwiches and Mudslides!!!

[Darn210]

Yep, fo sho. Speaking of which. . . . . ....... 24 days, 16 hours and forty minutes until MIL's plane touches down at the Ottawa International Airport.

Ummmm . . . . . . not that M's keeping track or anything . . .

Bah!

It is actually mind-blowingly hilarious . .. .. . . . . .

it really is but............

what if said Burundian phorum member does a search - the word "Burundian," say.

and then - finds the last 30 pages of this thread...........

we could get in MAJOR trouble.......

Later tonight . . . turkey sandwiches and Mudslides!!!

See ya tonight

I don't blame Skeeter, I don't really like turkey either - has to have ALL the accoutrements to not taste - gamey. Must have stuffing/gravy/mashed taters/cranberry or is simply nonedible.

am furious as have not had stuffing for three years now.

Damn, better put me wretched turkey breasts in the oven. SO not interested.

OH dear - Em's North Umbrian MIL coming excellent........yes, you'll need more than that one drink, Em

[Jestgar]

Did the overnight turkey covered in bacon. I put slices of granny smith apples and orange peels in the cavity.

Yum.

During the "crisping hour" at 375 I cooked sweet potatoes and yams along side bird. Sliced this into a container, added the overcooked apples from the turkey's gut, and crumbled some of the bacon onto it. Stir

Yum.

Accidentally got some of the orange peels into yam mix.

Yum. I'll be adding them on purpose next time.

The turkey meat is lightly infused with orange flavor. Not much, just a hint.

I think it'd be even better if it were brined over night, the day before cooking. Possibly with orange peel gratings in the brining mix.

:droolingdroolingdrooling:

sounds delish......

I JUST put me breasts in the oven (the bird's breasts, you sillies) and......made a concoction of tons of garlic w/ fresh and dried herbs in a softened butter base, salt/pepper.......stuffed it under the skin of the breasts........smells yummy, we will see.

Yams w/ apples are also bakin' - - there are many veggies and meats I can eat at our friends' house - - it ain't too bad! :gratefulface:

No phluidical incident???

Maybe someone wiped their feet slightly inadequately?

. .. . .. . .. .. .. . . nothin'?

OMG - she's gone and - doesn't even know Should we send a patrol car by the house?

14,000!!!! Holy Cow!!!! . . . No pie that you have to drink wif a straw??? . . .

*snort*

oh dear - did Judith take the phluid hit for Paddeigh??????????

[elye]

oh dear - did Judith take the phluid hit for Paddeigh??????????

Uh, oh. . . . . . . .with all the rich delicacies being concocted in your American kitchens today, and all the visits to the less stringent kitchens, mehopes there aren't any glutening phluids on the way. . . . . ..

[Judyin Philly]

Judy!! This is hilarious. Well, perhaps not fer you, but it's all very phuneee!

My silly has left me...............the deserts will be the best of the dinner

Jim looked at his GLUTEN corn bread stuffing i made for him and his responce.......

"what's this?" It did look gross and he wouldn't touch mine......which was pretty good

even had the ck broth with celery, onion, pecans and sausage added to his deadly gluten corn bread

Our 18 # free turkey must have been 100 years old.........man it was tough......we never get one that big but they only one left.......... will make good soup though. Jim ususally does one hell of a bird on the grill but not this year.........

Em..Went to quote your MIL visit and couldn't find it but think you should start drinking right now and maybe you'll lose count of the days to count off

14,000!!!! Holy Cow!!!! . . . No pie that you have to drink wif a straw??? . . .

well we know what Patti does with her free time Astounding.........

the pie has hardened up in the refrig so maybe i can eat it.

all your dinners sounded so good.

must learn to cook on of these days.

Well it's dark here now,,,,,,thank God the dang day is almost over!

Thanks for the 'silly family' company. It was nice to have someone to chat with today.

Can't compete with football ladies.
