/SP begins compulsively checking her email
(And, consider this an open post. Have fun, kids!)
I’m thinking of just making popcorn and toast.
You blockhead.
After kicking the football around?
If I was doing the cooking I’d follow Ted’S. menu
This scene still gets me.
I’ll never forget the kids howling when Snoopy fights the chair.
Damn. I miss those days…
Wow,never realized before what an asshole Snoopy is.
Honorary Glib.
Drives a hog to summer camp, yep.
Right?! Isn’t he awesome?
If it’s an open post, how will I know what topic to deviate from?
Persevere to overcome. We’re all counting on you.
Not this year. Not much, anyway. I’ve ordered catering from my grocery store. I’ll make green beans and some pies, but that’s it, man. My mom’s bringing an apple pie. My aunt’s bringing candied yams. My other aunt is bringing rolls. I’m buying “nice” plastic party plates and “nice” plastic cups.
I’ve got too much BS going on to deal with this and my mom and aunts are just too old and feeble to be doing this anymore.
I’m hosting this year and am getting frustrated because people won’t commit to coming. How am I supposed to plan a meal when I don’t know how many guest to expect? This is why becoming a hermit appeals to me. Bottle of whiskey and a turkey sandwich and T-Day is done.
Give them a deadline to reply and make it stick.
Get the nice red cups, the tall ones, they ad a sort of holiday theme to the party
I’ll make green beans and some pies, but that’s it, man.
Look at Miss Outgoing over here.
Right?!
Sounds delicious!
We Blackface Turdeaupians already had ours.
Liquor store, Boston Market, naked time. Done.
So apple pie is for dessert apparently.
This year we’re doing Thanksgiving with my in-laws, and they go out to eat, but I will send a recipe. My family does holidays well, although my favorite menu is at Easter because lamb > turkey.
Just about everything is better than turkey. 😉
Maybe a nice steak 🙂
But I do love turkey.
Turkey is awesome. Are you a breast-man, Rhy? I am.
Indeed.
Negative, it’s all about the dark meat. And gravy. There must be copious amounts of gravy.
For all those taters, turkey and dressing. This guy gets it. Gravy goes good on the dinner rolls as well.
That’s for sopping up the leftover gravy on the plate.
False. White meat for soaking up the candied yam juice and a couple pieces to soak up some cranberry sauce juice.
Also, white meat makes a far better sandwich the next day.
“Also, white meat makes a far better sandwich the next day.”
Smothered with gravy.
And your love of candied yams makes you a horrible human being.
The best part of a turkey are the drumsticks, rip them off the bird as soon as the old man starts carving then wave them around like Henry the VIII while pontificating through mouthfuls of juicy dark meat about whatever sins your family has transgressed upon you that year.
“Also, white meat makes a far better sandwich the next day.”
Don’t forget the cranberry orange rellish!
I am a potatolib! Orangetaterbad! Mashed, with turkey and gravy, the only thing ‘sweet’ that belongs on the plate are the cranberries.
Yeah, I try to be open-minded but with those things…. Ugh, just… no.
Dark meat, yes, but the best part is the fried turkey skin. Never even makes it to the table.
My taste buds agree.
Also, nice song last Saturday night. I’ll be seeing Blues Traveler in Minneapolis in about 46 hours.
Noyce.
I have turkey dinner about 3-4 times a year. I love cranberry sauce and white meat with gravy. I’d eat it more often, but it’s a pain to make and restaurant versions are so-so at best.
I smoke turkey breasts a couple of times a year. Great dinner and good sandwiches.
NAZI Germany isn’t better than turkey.
The AIDS virus isn’t better than turkey.
The Big Bang Theory isn’t better than turkey.
Glibertarian commenter Hyperbole isn’t better than turkey.
A booger set deep inside your nose, impossible to remove with both tissue and finger isn’t better than turkey.
I misspoke.
Also, jizz is not better than turkey.
No kidding. I just can’t get into jazz.

Philistine.
I can get into that. Does this count? ‘Cause Morgan James I could really get into.
Morgan James is a swell lady.
She makes me swell.
It’s called the pineapple and broccoli diet, girlfriend.
Both of which make me gag.
Strawberry, now…
I’ve known some women that would disagree with you.
It’s not the taste. It’s the texture.
I love a cold turkey sandwich, but I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to the turkey dinner. It’s something that ends up on my plate out of obligation, or because it’s an excuse for even more brown gravy after I’ve filled the mashed potato dimple.
True. Thanksgiving is about the sides. Christmas is about the desserts. Easter had the full package.
Yes and no. Our big shin-dig is on Christmas Eve with ham and roast beef and cheeses, chips, dips, chains, whips, punches and all sorts of finger foods, including homemade cookies and toffee and suchlike.
We don’t really do Christmas dinner. It’s just leftovers from Christmas Eve.
I don’t buy cereal or much milk at all, so for the kids, Christmas morning treat is cereal and milk.
Yeah, I’ll make them pumpkin pies for breakfast, but won’t buy cereal or milk. LOL
We do a feast both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas Eve we have pies (we make a bunch in the morning and give them out when we go caroling), and Christmas Day we have bread pudding.

Never tried it, but their hams are fantastic.
They have a rooffull of solar panels, it makes me suspicious.
Either the best ham I’ve ever had or the second best. The only one that rivals it is from Readfield Meats in Bryan TX.
Their cheeses are only “quite good,” though.
Speaking of cheese…
I thought I liked most kinds of cheese until I bought some fancy imported Pecorino Romano the other day because the store didn’t have the domestic cow Romano that I usually buy.
Holy crap that went into the trash toot sweet. I have no idea if it was “off” or if it’s really supposed to taste like rancid perfume.
I was told that it’s Americans who add sugar to everything.
It didn’t taste sugary so much as chemical-y. Like if you took the smog of photographic chemicals that I remember from living next to Kodak factories in childhood and compressed it into cheese form.
Pecorino can be pretty potent. There are a few dishes I use it for, but mostly I prefer parmesan.
Ooh. We usually do lamb chops, but that looks tasty.
I’m smoking a turkey this year. Still working out the exact process.
But I’m also getting my mother’s oyster stuffing recipe. I’ll post it here afterwards.
My sister has declined dinner at our place because she’s antisocial and my parents are out of town, so I guess it will just be me, the wife, and our spawn. Although we do have some local widows and widowers that we sometimes invite for dinner. Yeah, I think we’ll do that. If nothing else, they’re always more appreciative than my extended family.
A bitch to get lit but, wow, man!
Gobble gobble
You aren’t allowed to vape them anymore, so smoked turkey it is.
“mother’s oyster stuffing”
lol
declined dinner
I adore my parents and an uncle, but there will be others. I absolutely will focus on merely feeling sorry for the rest that they’re lazy and stupid and will not start any arguments or offer any advice: focus on feeling sorry . . . . focus !

Ok, that is sad. I will cook for you, I’m already cooking for 8, come to Cincinnati.
On topic of food: I picked up a tasting pack of “The Balvenie.” Three 50mL mini-bottles.
Double Wood 12yr
Caribbean Cask 14 year
Double Wood 17yr
Trying the Caribbean Cask first – Initially just barrel char, then generic whisky, then exceptionally sweet. I can’t say I’m getting anything particularly rummy, which is fine by me. Rum brings back memories of sorority girls crying in their vomit. I like my Scotch to taste like Scotch. This is definitely smooth and sippable. As you might expect at 86 proof, a few drops (literally, since I’ve only got about 15mL at the point) of water opens it up nicely. Definitely do that, otherwise the neat version is a bit boring. Honestly, I’m surprised this is a Speyside, seems more Highland to me. Yes I know I said it was exceptionally sweet, but it was sweet like Highland aged in sweet barrels.
The Balvenie Double Wood 12 year – The nose on this is just yummy. I need incense that smells like this. I strongly suspect that dabbing a bit of this on my pulse points before a date will guarantee I get laid. Ok, this is going into my permanent collection. It’s not very challenging, but it is delicious. Again, it’s unusually woody for a Speyside, but definitely within the type. It doesn’t taste as closed as you’d expect at 86, I’m a little hesitant to dilute it. Oh well, FOR SCIENCE! Oh. Ok. Yeah, that’s even better. It has a little more bite at a slightly lowered proof. I fucking love science.
The Balvenie Double Wood 17 year. Does five years make a difference? There must be more going on here than just the extended time, because it’s not more intense on the nose. I’d go so far as to say I prefer the scent of the 12 year. Interesting. It’s much more typical of the genre, and smooth as glass. Adding the drops completely changes it, into something warmer and “higher pitched” than the 12. Is it better? No. I think I like the 12 better. If this is literally the same as the 12 only older, I’d be surprised.
But does it get you drunk?
I’m nicely mellow.
The 12 year is the bomb. Agreed all day long.
Confirmed.
I scored a bottle of their 14 year old “Peated Week” this year. Take a regular Balvenie and add some peat smoke to the front end and some iodine to the finish. Delightful stuff.

Shocking moment bikers swarm lone NYPD officer at Bronx gas station in the latest case of cops being abused in the Big Apple
Samcro Bronx is lit af
That cop is retarded A/F. The bike dumped all of it’s gas from laying on it’s side. They’re directly in front of a gas pump. What does the genius do? A fucking taser! Guaranteed to make a spark and the gas is all spread out so it’ll achieve the right mixture quickly. It would have made a much more exciting video if he’d have tased someone, that’s for sure.
AND, those aren’t “bikers,” they’re kids on dirt bikes. Cop was trying to bust them for riding on the street. They were trying to get the cop to chase so their buddy could retrieve his dirt bike.
My God blackjack is a Hell’s Angel.
Nah, I’m the no club lone wolf type. Clubs have rules and they’re enforced by some toothless whackjob. Besides, everyone I know who’s dabbled in that lifestyle has regretted it in the extreme. Not a thing I’m ever going to consider.
On the flip side, finally joining the local chapter of Heaven’s Devils was the greatest moment of my life.

Docs warn women not to masturbate with an electronic toothbrush
Chicks, bro.
The women at the prison do what they gotta do to get off.
They used to take a bunch of unsharpened pencils, rubberband them together, wrap the whole thing in a few rubber gloves, then tie the fingers of the glove to a bra, and wear it around the waist. That’s how they make a strap-on in prison.
Another girl got caught masturbating with sausages and pickles so often that for a while, they ordered the kitchen staff to dice up any long, cylindrical foods before serving them to her.

We’re going across the street again this year. I have to bring wine.
I should think so!
I’m Sorry SP (and glibs) but i don’t cook, and so i can’t share any recipes.
Everyone who likes to eat should know how to cook.
Just start practicing.
Ok i mean i know HOW to cook, i just am not good and focus on my comparative advantage, as i will never be as good as Mrs Leon.
Get better house orphans and more orphan tasters. Fuck phrasing.
leon, don’t listen to UCS – cooking is for lames.
Cheese pizza and popcorn?
We usually have our Thanksgiving dinner with some childless friends, since at this time in life our kids are far away too. My friend recently had open heart surgery and is recuperating, his wife is not well. Our day will be like any other day.
I actually will be glad when the holidays are over, without kids around the days are all pretty much the same. Now if UCS would take his vacation in the winter we could sort of temporarily adopt him and celebrate. Mrs Fourscore is an excellent cook and likes company.

Three Communists Weigh In on ‘Red Dawn’
Even Commies respect the classics.
One of these day I’ll post my chili recipe. I’d do it now except that:
1) It’s not really a Thanksgiving thing;
2) It’s not really a recipe, because it’s a little different every time, and;
3) If I make it the way I really like it almost nobody else can eat it.
I like my chili to leave just a sheen of sweat on your forehead.
Yep. Chili should make you sweat
I’ve been told my chili makes one feel like they’re shitting napalm the next morning. I’ve never had that problem, but my innards are tougher than normal. You know how some folks claim to have a cast-iron stomach? Mine’s stainless steel.
We had Minnesoda chili for deer season opener. No sweating, just good eating.
podcast 159
http://wethefifth.com/
https://www.amazon.com/How-Fight-Anti-Semitism-Bari-Weiss/dp/0593136055
I don’t get Bari Weiss; she’s often on the show as a guest commenter which is fine. The rest of the time all I get is some circle-babble from her. I couldn’t tell you what her basic principle is except her tone tells me her world-view is the only one, whatever that is. All I”m really getting is that anti-Semitism still exists, which I would stipulate: I would guess most everyone does. At one point she says “that’s not the purpose of this book,” but she never gets around to saying what it is.
They go 40 minutes setting her up, then we get nowhere. @Kmele starts to address her book’s problems, but he doesn’t really hit hard on any one topic; he hints at intellectual laziness, but he doesn’t land a punch and we’re just left with his discomfort with some unquoted passages in her new book. I can’t stand any essay or broadcast that can’t stay on topic more than 90 seconds, that can’t set up first principles, history, and then recommend policy; this rambles like an MSNBC or Rush dialogue. Kmele: I’m uncomfortable with two hours of word salad; get off the fence or at shut up.
Moynihan tries to reset the table an hour in and all we get is that she regrets (doesn’t remember?) some things she wrote in school. Kmele prefers bad ideas to censorship, and that gets my vote; he’s sly and won’t directly call her a hypocrite. But since I haven’t read everything she’s written and done, I have no idea what they’re talking about . . . it’s some weird inside baseball.
67 minutes in they bring up the BDS deal but don’t really explain anything: if you want to understand the bad laws and issues surrounding this, you won’t learn it listening to 159. 74 minutes in Weiss claims to lose her place and just collapses and I laughed because I had already wrote most of this saying how lost it all was.
77 minutes in she ties together some idea that the Tree of Life shootings indicate that the lid is off anti-Semitism in the US: she’s afraid to leave the house, and anti-Semitism is entering a new normal state.
I listen every week, but it’s just because they’re intelligent and mannerly, not because I learn much. I’ve lost the excitement that had me recommending the podcast early in the first year. Episode 159 is the weirdest and least useful two hours they’ve recorded yet.
“Episode 159 is the weirdest and least useful two hours they’ve recorded yet.”
Much like your review!
BOOM
It’s like the news from my family reunion: They’re crazy.
The news, those details, the report: they also sound crazy.
Dave Smith analyzed one ove her interviews. He wasn’t very impressed. His thoughts are that you will never convince an Alt-Righter the error of their ways if all you do is refuse to listen. Doesn’t mean that you need to give them any credence, but if your goal is to convince someon,e not listening has never been a good for convincing people they are wrong.
I’ve got about four hours invested in her, all through the Fifth Column boys. When I figure out what her point is, I’ll consolidate an opinion of her. Meanwhile I’m just stuck being a good guy who tries to give everyone their hearing.
Dave Smith also didn’t approve of peak comedy.
Dumbo and other old movies get a content warning on Disney+
Bestiality is disgusting.
Stupid question, but what’s supposedly wrong with Fantasia?
Tranny hippos dancing ballet.
No, that they support.
Then it has to be the broom slave labor.
Well it contains animated harpy nipples, rampant hetrosexual romanticism between liminal creatures, and classical music, which is a product of western civilization.
Like I cuck I am I googled for you.
Weaksauce controversies.
Huh, I did not remember that.
They edited that part out a long time ago.
“Film critic Roger Ebert commented on the edit: “While the original film should, of course, be preserved for historical purposes, there is no need for the general release version to perpetrate racist stereotypes in a film designed primarily for children.””
Put it in a museum with a trigger warning.
Until they demand the museum burn it.
Also wasn’t Fantasia regarded as pretty highbrow with all the classical music?
Yeah, like much of the animation back then, it was made for adults. Or at least for adults and kids to both get entertained by different elements of it.
The warning belongs on stuff churned out in the last decade or so.
Last year I got a compete set of original Tom & Jerry for my kids cause they are awesome. The first DVD has an automatic intro freaturing Whoopi Goldberg giving a very SJW intro about teh racism of T&J. I curse it every time and fast forward to get to the cartoons.
OK, serious question: given that the stereotypes in question are from the 1930s, do the kids today pick up on the fact that the crows are racist stereotypes? Not just the little kids either, I mean if you showed it to your average dumbass millennial without any sort of trigger warning, would they recognize that the crows are stereotypes of 1930s African-Americans?
Also, related.
Not really ‘stereotypes’, more stock characters, but people are stupid. I mean those same stock characters were in Friday After Next, but it was cool because black folk made that movie, or some such.
If I cook for Thanksgiving, there is no turkey as I don’t like turkey.
* rings town bell *
Samuel Adams Winter Lager is in stores. Don’t let the green label or new carton throw you off.
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale is also on the shelves.
Innis & Gunn original is also on shelves.
My BIL enjoys cooking turkey and making the stuffing, so we usually do Thanksgiving at their place. We bring the green bean casserole – our One Weird Trick is using golden mushroom soup instead of cream of mushroom – and a couple of pies we buy at the nearby farm market (Tres – Covered Wagon, south of West Milton. Order your pies early!) including a sugar-free one for Mr. GT and my diabetic sister.
We usually host Christmas with my two sisters & BIL at our house and serve up a huge pot of tortellini soup. I may share that recipe later if there’s interest.
Post it. We have a “Tortellini Bowling Soup” recipe that I’ll put up too.
Recipe sent to SP.
Received!
Thanks!
I celebrate Thanksgiving by dropping some smallpox blankets off at the rez.
There goes that University named after you.
Did you invest in antibiotic resistant strains? Or do you own pharma stocks?
Weaponized Soviet version.
If the nesting doll fits…
I’m offended. That you thought we’d need “smallpox” in that sentence is triggering to us shitlords.
I’ve always found it a bit strange that the germ theory of disease didn’t really take hold until the late 19th century and yet somehow settlers and the government knew about it a hundred years earlier.
Observed effect without knowing cause?
Could be. As much as the “smallpox blanket” thing has been a thing, when I’ve done a bit of research on it, the evidence that it happened seems to be pretty scant.
Well, it happened, but intentions don’t matter much. However the Mongol’s new flinging diseased corpses into Constantinople would cause damage way back, so who knows.
It’s a fun year for us. We are meeting our besties in Big Sky for Thanksgiving. Spawn 1 is coming up from CO. I have no idea what the fuck we are gonna do. I’m bringing a Tenakara rig for the Gallatin, so maybe trout?
I’m not sure Big Sky will be open enough for skiing but we’ll see.
My family is annoyed, as I usually host!
I sent a couple turkey recipes to SP, though.
Never understood the “big sky” thing. Pretty sure the sky is the same size everywhere.
It’s not.
You’re right, it’s not the same everywhere. The sky is bigger in the plains states. No stupid mountains poking up into it.
At Bonneville it’s so flat that when you ride towards the mountain, it get bigger way faster because you’re seeing the curvature of the earth. If you stand at the start line, you cannot see the finish line because it’s behind the curvature. It’s really trippy when you’re out there. There’s no landmarks to obscure it. Just salt.
Curvature? Round earther conspiracy theorist^.
So is Japan fake or is that just Australia?
I’ll give you the point that you can see more if it depending on where you are. That being said, Kansas has a better claim to “Big Sky” than Montana.
I guess you just have to be there.
Thanks, Tundra!
So envious. I miss living in Montana so much.
I have done so many great trips there.
I’m envious of you. I’ve only visited these places. You have lived in so many amazing places.
I want to live in the mountains before I die.
What mountain?
The one that puts me l close to my kids.
And doesn’t take all my money!
*stifles laughter*
I’ve got a mountain your daughter can mount, no cost to you.
*runs away screaming about two dollars*
I was gonna turn the dog loose on you, but that was funny, so…
Thanks for the kindness, Dad. Or should I call you Pop Pop?
Yes, I have been fortunate to live some great places.
I’m hoping to make a mini-retreat in Northern NM around Christmas sometime. I think I miss that the most.
So the Lady and the Tramp remake is going woke. Not only did they get rid of the Siamese Cat song and changed the breed of those cats but they also made the Baby Boy a Baby Girl and turned Jock into a bitch (literally!). Oh and the owners are mixed race even though the story is supposed to be set in Edwardian-Era Missouri and involve an upper-middle class couple. And the film is shot in Georgia. Hmm I thought Song of the South is so problematic for its rosy depiction of Reconstruction-Era Georgia?
I look forward to the day a couple of centuries from now when historians look back on this era and say “what the fuck was wrong with those people?”
Kmele Will be a historian then?

South Park has Randy Savage competing in a strong woman competition. Perfect.
My recipe for the day was a few beers, and a bunch of shit in the way of work. Wait, I woke up late and then had oats, without bananas, and that’s sort of cruel and unusual punishment in some countries, they say. I can’t remember who they are, but it must be true.
Then I got blamed for The Worst actually being identified as The Worst. What was it they say? Don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger?
Anyway, wife made some sort of pea soup. I don’t know what’s in it, except peas. But I’m eating it, no complaints.

Science is sexist and racist says….female scientist.
“Science is sexist and racist says….female scientist.”
Sure it is, everything is that when you’re no good at it. And I came to that conclusion without reading that, because they’ve just made it too easy.
I expected the actual Wired story to explain, but it’s complete gibberish. I am shocked.
No recipes to submit, but think we’re going to do a turkey breast in some fashion, gravy, mash taters and sweet potato, and dressing. After that, dunno. Wife is off the sugar so no pecan pie.
Oh, and cranberries. Gotta have cranberries.
Spent the morning trying to explain that yams are not yamaimo. Doesn’t help that they are almost identical.
Haven’t seen yamaimo here. Have seen satsumaimo (labeled as Japanese sweet potato). New clerks seem to be confused by the difference between yams, sweet potatoes, and Japanese sweet potatoes at checkout.
How do you prepare the sweet potatoes? Just mashed, or candied, or some other way?
We usually do either baked in foil (slightly less time than a regular potato but make sure the foil is wrapped upward or it will drip sweet potato syrup in the oven) or cut in small slices or chunks and steamed in a basket. Have done mashed or chunks with marshmallow but i like baked the best.

Gee what major destruction of ancient Chinese artifacts is Xi ignoring here? I wonder why?
Also I’m sure the Parthenon was built by racist slaveowners so who cares?
And regionalist racist slaveowners at that…
Polisists
Xi also got treated like shit during the Cultural Revolution but that didn’t prevent him from being a totalitarian.
Like we say – now the right guy is in charge.
Stoking the nationalism.
There’s nothing for Thanksgiving this year, cause we all woke now.
Turkey? Yeah right, Pilgrim White Supremacy, you shitlords.
Ham? Yeah, right, you Xenophobic Islamaphobics.
Chicken? Yeah, right, you black face wearing racist culture appropriators.
Just realize that there is nothing left to eat, you shitlords. Now STFU and grub some roots! No stop that, plants are people too!
Just don’t eat and sustain yourself on righteous wokeness. Happy holidays, oh starved but woke ones!
Also why would you want to give thanks to a bunch of privileged white cishet male racist misogynist colonialist slaveowners?
I noticed you didn’t ban long pig…
Not even hyperbole. I don’t see this holiday lasting if current trends hold. That’s a big if, though.

This year it’s just the wife and I at Thanksgiving. It’s glorious. No relatives. No friends. Just a bitchin’ kitchen and two pretty decent cooks gwtting down for Thanksgiving. We’ve been putting the menu together for the last couple of weeks.
8 lb baked turkey. Herb butter tucked into every nook and cranny.
Sausage stuffing. Made with quality Sweet Italian sausage, stale sourdough croutons.
Roasted asparagus, Butter, olive oil, with h a squeeze of lemOn.
Hard boiled egg casserole. Halved hard boiled eggs baked in a gruyere/parmesan sauce.
Roasted beets, carrots, and shallots. Drizzled in a cranberry/balsamic reduction. With chopped roasted walnuts. Probably a spot of goat cheese whip.
Home made cranberry sauce.
Apple pie. Lemon cream pie.
We’re taking the week off so we’re nerding out on it. Everything is from scratch. Fancy provisions. Fresh herbs only, scratch pie crusts, fillings.
The kitchen in our new place is rad. We are gonna’ smash it.
Sounds great. You can keep the cranberry sauce. If cranberries are so good, why don’t people eat them year round.
My night to be contrary.
Cranberries are great a lot of ways.
But yeah, we have to stock up this time of year to get through to next time. They freeze fine
Now do watermelon.
RACIST!
You’ve never eaten good cranberry sauce. My sauce is gonna be good. Frozen cranberries, a splash of orange juice, butter, dry white wine. Reduced. Fresh rosemary. It’s good.
Recipe? I know, for you folks that are good in the kitchen, you probably said enough. Me, I’m more of a step-by-step kind of cook. Well, with new dishes, anyway.
Frozen cranberries
Dear lord. Fresh cranberries should be available even in the backwaters of Washington.
Missus boils down the cranberries, adds sugar, and maybe a wedge or two of orange, and some spice.
Bag o’ cranberries and an orange. A few pulses in the food processor. Stir in a cup of sugar and let sit in the fridge until dinner.
Frozen breaks the skins down real nice.
Try adding a shot of Couintreau or some other orange liqeur. Adds some interesting flavor.
Cranberry sauce, both the jellied and the good kind, make an amazing substitute for the J in a PB & J sammich.
Someone moved out of Wisconsin before Big Cranberry took over.
I’m coming up to visit. What time is dinner?

Looks like Pooh Bear needs to crack some more beehives open.
Thanksgiving will be our usual death march from MA -> CT -> NY(1) -> NY(2) -> MA, albeit over the course of a couple of days, with the Day itself being split between the two NY locations (thankfully just 30 mins apart).
I’ll probably make ice cream since I finally sprang for a fancy ice cream machine with built-in compressor (vs. having to freeze an insert for 24 hours), then promptly failed to make ice cream for almost a year.
At least the new machine means I can make several smaller batches of different flavors.
I’ll post a link to my recipes tomorrow.
You are supposed to email them to me, girlfriend. It’s the only way I have even half a chance of being sure to see them the way things are at home currently.
K!
But for now, I’m tipsy and looking to stir up trouble! What’s up?
Well, CPRM has been judging you again. Digby said only an idiot would buy a Tesla. Pope Jimbo said anyone who’d move out of Minnesoda is deranged.
That’s all I can
come up withremember right now.Wait!?! Are we supposed to remember this stuff? I’ve been drinking *hard* to forget this stuff.
I like you hs, but as usual I agree with Sir Digby.
I’ve been in a few auto accidents in my lifetime; and would prefer not to die in a chemical fire should I experience another.
I’m pretty sure Mojeaux doesn’t swallow.
This is true.
What, no love for swallowers?!?
*The one person safely out of this debate*
Chick fight
Chick fight!
I admire and even envy swallowers because I can’t do it without puking. But there are a lot of things I can’t put down my throat without puking, so my inability to swallow is on par with my inability to eat watermelon or pineapple or tomatoes or egg foo yung (ask my mom about that one), or a zillion other things without puking.
I can’t imagine spitting after a blow job. The sweet-salty release is my reward and acknowledgement of a job well done. Plus—spitting??— How messy!
I can’t believe I’m eating a yogurt and reading this right now.
Rhy, you win 10 internets!
I don’t spit, either. I don’t let him come in my mouth.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.
On Monday while watching MNF I made a batch of my Aged Nog for turkey day. It is in the fridge aging, except for the “extra” that I polished off this evening.
(The recipe is in the 2018 batch SP linked above.)
Thanksgiving will be with friends so the only cooking will be a Zucchini Strudel that I’ll bring.
https://icelandmag.is/article/president-iceland-announces-he-would-ban-pineapple-a-pizza-topping
I can excuse pineapple pizza but not this.
Yeah, he should have cheered for the Lower Cornwall…couldn’t think of a good end to the joke.
Huh. The voice of reason comes from Iceland.
If by reason, you mean Euronazis are the only ones who don’t like pineapple on pizza, then absolutely right.
My Mom has always been known for her cooking. Simple recipes, but good. At any potluck or banquet, her food would always be the first to go and she always prepared lots.
One of the things she’s always been known for is her stuffing. A couple years ago, I finally figured out the secret ingredient that makes it soo good. I was in the kitchen talking to her as she was preparing to mix everything into a giant pot. While talking, I watched her put one stick of butter into the pot after another. I counted 10 total. “You put THAT much butter in Mom?!!” Her reply, “It keeps it moist”.
???
Salt, fat, sugar. The triad of tastiness.
I am awash with recipes of all sorts for you people. I just can’t share without a lengthy write-up on how to prepare the meal. Prep, equipment, and a plan are more than half of the battle.
I still haven’t written the first cooking article I intend to; which I started working on months ago. I procrastinated for a while, then it was time to worry about midterms, I procrastinated again, and now it’s time for finals. Perhaps I can provide some culinary fluff come January- December is a mess for me being a chorister.
That said, my suggestion for thanksgiving: smoked turkey. Season how you like, I prefer a touch of mustard as a binder, salt, pepper, and finely ground coffee. Smoke it like a brisket.
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman “In the Spring of 2019, I became aware of outside influencers promoting a false narrative of Ukraine inconsistent with the consensus views of the interagency. This narrative was harmful to U.S. government policy.”
Nope, no Deep State here.
“How dare you make us look bad. Obama said everything would be cool.”
Is anyone asking why exactly are we flushing billions of dollars down a vortex in Ukraine in the first place?
::inconsistent with the consensus views of the interagency.
My god! The inhumanity of it! Off with his head.
So Col, care to give us an idea of how often the “consensus of the interagency” has even had an effing clue?
So Col. Vindman, based on the Constitution, who sets America foreign policy?
consensus of the interagency, duh, spud…
Milady Wife and I are gonna try to do a capon this year. Don’t know if it’s any better than regular roast chicken but we’ll see how it works. Besides, it’s a great excuse to make gravy!
Pardon me for not minding my own affairs… Is this bird coming via mail or do you know a guy who knows a guy?
I might be Mexican Joker. The last cartoon was titled the Gay Blade and as such had a Zorro reference. Little did I know that movie is referenced in the stupidest political lightning rod of a movie, Joker. The left came out against it as an Alt-Right Incel fap session, even though the politics of the movie is left wing. So of course, defensively right leaning youtube personalities claimed it was the BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR.
I had no interest in seeing it, I thought it looked pretentious and shallow and made no sense in the context of a Joker movie. I had some time tonight before my uncle’s funeral in the morning that I just wanted to zonk out, so I watched it (although my viewing won’t show on gross receipts as I had no inclination to pay to see it). My final thoughts? without the hoopla it would have gone the way of the rest of DCU. It is as I had thought: pretentious and shallow and made no sense in the context of a Joker movie.
Let me finish this beer.
Hello!?
Hollywood is out of ideas.
The edgy antihero movie has been beaten to death, resuscitated, then beaten to death again.
Superhero and anti-hero movies can be good, but Joker isn’t an instance of that.
They’ve been out of ideas for decades. How many Hulk movies have been made?
2. The same number as Overboard.
Remake Cutthroat Island and Heavens Gate.
What about Ice Pirates!?
I’ve never seen it, but based on the trailer, it’s higher quality than 90% of the superhero movies currently being made.
I enjoy many comic book movies. *CASTS ACCUSATION*

So, where’s this Glib
sex slavedating service you’ve offered?Every year we pick out a few orphans and begin preparing them for their post-sexual-maturity future.
Uffda.
I think 2 wins overall. 3 is a no, 1 works i suppose
The vampire is correct.
My poor people food recipe list.
Mine consists of “Things that make my stomach stop hurting from hunger”
That works.
I can cook. I can cook well. I just don’t like to.
I like to, just can’t afford to. Nothing I enjoy more than spending an entire day preparing a great meal. I’d be a great stay at home dad if I married a rich woman and had a maid (I’m shit at cleaning)
Without going into too much detail, I understand that stay-at-home-dad business gets mighty wearing on a man’s pride.
Pride, hah, I ain’t got none of that.
I mean, when I was a stay at home uncle and I’d take my nephew out somewhere and he’d say ‘Dadda, I mean uncle’, can’t get more embarrassing than that.
If I were a rich woman I would not trust you around a maid, especially if young.
You think me a scoundrel sir!?
villain or knave would be the words of choice
Ooh. I’ve never been called a villain before. Sounds exciting!
But you know some great restaurants, so it’s all good.
I don’t celebrate thanksgiving but if I would my recipe would be scotch.
I forgot good morning glibsters
I put a full stick of butter on top of the turkey, and another full stick in the cavity, and then pour beer over it instead of basting about 3 times an hour. A brown sugar rub before any of that.
Speaking of scotch, a large booze store here will be having a black Friday sale (Romania appropriated black Friday but it is usually at a different date. I blame capitalism myself, trying to sell us things. It was better back in the day, the store only had chicken feet and cheap vodka and you were happy about it. also it was environment friendly, except all the poison dumped everywhere by the commie industry). Anyhoo I digress I am hoping to snag some deals on scotch. I happen to know what the prices are so will not fall for the crap some do of pumping up the prices beforehand to give a big discount…
At least pick a bourbon for Thanksgiving.
Heh, heh, this is pretty good. An open letter to Greta Thunberg.
https://cms.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2019/11/open-letter-greta-thunberg-jason-d-hill
My reaction is more, sit down and shut up, you fucking piece of shit.*
Normally I would never speak that way to a child, but when a child who has never experienced life or studied what they are proclaiming talks to me like I’m a piece of garbage, I’ll only return the favor.
That letter could apply to a large number of people out there. She is presenting herself as an adult, haranguing the world to prostrate before a radical vision of regression that would bing a ton of misery. It’s crazy that it is being taken as seriously as it is, but she is just one of the mouthpieces. It’s unfortunate that it even needs an explanation, but here we are in 2019. Still no flying cars and my trip to the moon is still delayed.
I didn’t even read the letter, no need to even take that into consideration. When I was her age I was planning how to take care of my family because we knew my dad would eventually be crippled by the disease he had; I didn’t have time for boat trips to lecture people about things I didn’t even have a grasp on.
I feel you. I started with a paper route when I was ten and always had a job since. Caddy, driving range employee, deli worker, construction, caterers, bartender, office worker, teacher, and business owner. She needs a real job. But it’s really beyond some silly 15 minute kid, it’s a mindset that is more and more prevalent.
Even when I was <10 yrs, I noticed the nature documentaries (‘y favorite shows) started ending every episode with a 5 minute lecture about how mankind was ruining everything.
Even as a kid I saw they were talking down to us and laying on a guilt trip with no science behind it.
The alarmists are the ones who “robbed her”’of her childhood.
THIS.
Exactly. I feel sorry for her, but the ideology she is spouting is some serious totalitarian shit. It’s been fed to people for decades now and it has really worked its way into the consciousness of the rich developed world. We don’t realize how good we have it (you lot and some other excepted). It seems like there is a real concerted effort to move the state of human well being back. It’s amazing how many people fall for it, but it was a long term push.
Man, 2020 will be my first experience in a presidential election ina GOP district in a blue state.
I grew up I a red district in a red state. Then moved to a blu district in a blue state for 20 years.
So little red in a blue state is new. I’m bracing…
Wisconsin is ‘purple’; home of the Republicans and the Progressives.
Yeah, when I happened to pass through Racine WI it amused me to see “home of the GOP” when i also knew it was birthplace of progressives acting in politics.
Puritans. The lot of them.
Prohibition though, that ain’t shit you can blame on Sconnies.
In 2002 the Libertarian candidate, Ed Thompson, did get 11% of the vote for governor in Wisconsin. In La Crosse, where I live, he got over 40%. I was one of the “leaders” of the libertarian movement here at the time. There were 4 of us who showed up to all the meetings and about 10 others who showed up periodically. There is a pretty strong libertarian streak in a lot of people around here (“leave me the fuck alone”).
Every time I read posts about your Tesla, this song pops in my head. Wrong gender, but whatever.

Here they have straight up rigged the vote completely. Ranked choice is rank. They actually elected a former Hugo Chavez translator for DA. Straight up insanity. His main focus seems to be that SF is too hard on people using the street as a toilet and open injection site.
NYC just voted to implement that ranked stuff. I don’t intend to vote again so I haven’t put much thought into this but I can only assume it’s a plot to entrench the machine even further.
Yeah, Ranked Choice Voting is all set up as a math way to SCIENCE THE SHIT OUT OF VOTING. But it’s really about limiting choices. 1 out of 4 people agree with you, but you have to vote for all four, in a ranked order, and then SCIENCE figures out which one THE PEOPLE really wanted. None of the above is not an option.
Yes, it’s a way to get people elected who would never stand a chance. At this point, I think you are right, voting is an absolute waste of a good ten minutes.
I really do worry for SF. In foreseeable future there is going to be a big rise in vigilantism.
Of course SF is also getting what it voted for and it’s going to get it good and hard.
Am I going to have to deny knowing the Vigilante known as Chafed 3 times before the cock crows?
If it like HI you’ll see or hear few political ads for the national campaigns since neither side will drop a lot of resources into a lock win/hopeless cause.
Hey, CPRM, MikeS says (jokingly) you’re judging me tonight.
What have I done wrong this time, my master? (Darth Vader bow before emperor)
You make that sound hot. I, uh…beer!
Alternate joke: I told yall cucks negging works!
You do know that Darth killed the emperor, right?
I dunno, rumor is Disney brought him back; but are you saying you’re into 8mm stuff?
You are an odd duck, CPRM!
Nostrovya
hah, yes.
Hey Q, if you’re still around, if you go to Tokyo early enough in January, you might be able to catch the illuminations before they get taken down. Seems like they’re still up for the 1st-2nd weeks.

Very strange to be sitting on the couch at home, watching a place half way around the world and recognizing stuff. That west exit tripped me up on my last visit though, I couldn’t remember where the escalator/stairs up were (and it’s pretty obvious in the video).
This is hypnotic.
Well, that station, Shinjuku, is the largest (by headcount passing through daily) station in Japan so getting lost or confused wouldn’t be too unusual.
You still up for drinks next week or so?
Yup – next Friday, right?
?
I made it out the correct passage way to the east/west gates from the Nex platform, and then couldn’t figure it out. It’s the first twenty seconds of the video. Just hang a job left and there it is. Instead I ended up going out the bus/taxi exit directly ahead, taking stairs up and then wandering around to find the bus stop. All with my brother in tow. Yeah, sure know where I’m going.
That place with the purple lights overhead is My Lord. Interesting statement on consumerism.

Half way up on the left of Mosaic Street is where I bought my first handkerchief there.
My house is rather modestly sized and unsuitable for gatherings of more than ~5 people counting myself, so I’ll probably just have the girlfriend and two closest friends over. I’m thinking of doing the following:
– A chicken, spatchcocked and grilled over coal with hickory chips
– Collard greens and ham
– Mashed potatoes
– Cornbread
– Cranberry sauce (actual sauce of cranberries boiled with sugar, not that weird shit from the can)
::tiptoes in:: Anybody lurking this morning? I’ve been catching up on the comments posted since I signed off last night. There was one discussion I was just as glad to have missed.
*raises cup of coffee*
*clinks travel mug against Sean’s cup*
Good morning to the both of ya (and anyone else lurking around).
5am flights are a great way to start your day.
Yick! The hassle of flying is bad enough (so I understand – I haven’t flown commercially since 1983) without having to arrive at such an ungodly hour. Safe, smooth travels to you!
I can’t wait for the Real ID requirements. I either have to get a new “enhanced” driver’s license or renew my passport.
I prefer driving since I can carry more tools but just don’t have the time available for this trip.
I just renewed my driver’s license this past Saturday and settled for the standard DL – no passport, and I didn’t feel like getting copies of two marriage licenses (I don’t remember ever having copies of either one) and digging up my dissolution decree (I DO have that somewhere – needed it to apply for the second marriage license) to establish the “chain” of name changes.
Non-compliant subject – No travel for you.
Also, agreed on the discussion and the good luck of missing same. “Ewww, TMI” – Teenage girl
“Inorite??? Grody to the max!” – Teenage girl from ’80s
Well, I arrived. I just love hitting my head against a brick wall at work so much that I started off my day doing just that.
Technology sucks.
Presumably this workplace sign is ISO approved.

“Dr. Felicia Nace is in hot water after publicly speaking at a Straight Pride Parade in Boston. She sits on the board of trustees for Raritan Valley Community College and her involvement in the parade is not sitting well with some students and faculty.”
Get back on the plantation, woman! ?
I’m trying to figure out how what she did was somehow “anti-education,” as one critic described it.
It’s heresy to not condemn straight people.
I dunno. That stood out to me as well.
Interrupting the education of straight = bad?
Freedom of speech is the right of every American, but where is the line drawn when it comes to a person in a position of power showing support for what some might call a controversial cause?
The line is obviously where I say it is.
You mean, a controversial cause like punishing someone for attending an event? Because that’s pretty damn controversial.
Since some early birds are up, I’m terrible at drawing so I thought I’d give a month of effort at improving my sketching skills. Use YouTube and other online sources to see how much I could improve in one month. I’ve got limited free time, but I could prolly improve somewhat. Would it be worth a post to show what I’ve learned going from complete beginner to an almost complete beginner?
I’d be delighted to read such a post! I once had delusions of becoming an art teacher and still have latent artistic ambitions. ::gazes wistfully at unused easel sitting in the corner of the room:: (Fun fact: my avatar is a self-portrait I did in high school, now hanging on the wall in my office/”studio.”)
What he’s not telling you is that he exclusively draws penises. “It’s a trap.” -Ackbar
You say that as if it’s a bad thing.
You’re the type of reader that might cringe at how bad I am. You seem like a nice person, so you’d most likely be supportive.
My sketching consists of rough design concepts prior to making AutoCad drawings. Yes I’m old school and still do 2d drawings. I assume you are talking more a long the lines of artistic drawing.
I’m always interested in other’s self learning
Artistic. I just started this week. Began with the mouth and after a couple attempts, this is what I came up with today. Not there yet.

I’m going solo this year. Wife and daughter will be in TX with wife’s family. Dad may come visit, depending on what my brothers do. Seafood is probably going to be on the menu.
