Sioni- looks like I can pull KHNS up on my Tunein Radio app, so I guess we do stream. I'm on (intermittantly) from 6 to 8 am, which is something inconventient like 3-5 pm your time. I'm only a fill-in news host, but will be there all next week except thursday. (which is my birthday. And some other American holiday, too) i'll be the one talking about gale warnings, icy highways, what's going on at the senior center, and what the idiots at the borough are up to.
And don't you guys go being all congratulatory when I'm trying not to panic, here!
Any wedding is a long way off, as the fella is going through a hideous divorce on the same scale as my divorce. (I told him he needs to stop trying to compete with me in the Evil Divorce Stakes) but it looks like for now Operation Living In Sin is a go.
I kind of swore off serious relationships 7 years ago but the little fucker snuck right under my skin. He's a fellow radio refugee and former professional jazz musician and actor who teaches music at a local school (different than the one I work at) and suppliments the music teacher wage by fixing everything at the school and driving the bus.
We understand each other.
Now I have to negotiate myself and Chasee3 moving in, and renting out my almost-completed new home. It's all so weird. I'm terrified he'll discover what a slob I am. On the positive side, his history means he understands my 4 am mornings and my embarrassing collection of old show props.
Meep!

Aw. You're all so sweet. Let's just cross out collective fingers that i don't screw this up, shall we? ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
So what's the Thanksgiving plans, gang? Travel? Menus? Hiking? Football? Powersnoozing?
We're moving in with the Fella this week AND hosting my whole extended fam-damly at the new place tomorrow. "welcome to the family, here they are all at once!" with our usual hours-long music jam surrounding dinner. I'm planning a morning hike but we've got a winter storm warning, so we'll see. The alternate being sleeping in as late as I can manage, 'cause it's also my birfdy this year.
Menu is still being hashed out.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
My stuffing is cooling in the fridge, ready to be stuffed into the bird in the morning. Candied yams are cooked and just need to be warmed tomorrow. Brussels sprouts will be cooked tomorrow. I know, I know. I like the things!!! Potatoes to be peeled and cooked tomorrow.
Right now I'm procrastinating. The last job of the day is to wash and de-pinfeather the bird.
And every year, I wonder if any of it will be edible. Stressful.

We backed out of driving up to the Colorado mountains for the grandchildren, when the weather forecast said snow. Instead, we will join the rest of the church-family for the annual Thanksgiving dinner. It's a long-time tradition. Years ago everybody came from elsewhere and traveling "home" wasn't usually practical.
The church supplies the turkeys; volunteers cook them; everyone else brings something. This year as usual we will bring Brown Chile and the makings for frito pies. Cleanup is a community effort. (The cleanup effort is assisted by NFL TV - but Motherboard will be hard at work in the kitchen during the cleanup because the Cowboys are being featured and she's a Steelers fan.)
So we want to wish the rest of the Shipmates a Happy Thanksgiving however it is being done.

Thanksgiving at my daughter's, though I'm the financial underpinning of the feast. Small gathering, daughter, son-in-law, and my two brothers, though we have others joining us for dessert.

We're all still post-flu-ey, so will probably do next to nothing in the a.m. and then go to a friend's for Thanksgiving. Normally I'd be hosting extended family but with the flu there ain't no way, no how.

The American community here in our part of Kenya have a big feast (100 plus people ) today but I'll be out in the field.
We'll celebrate quietly on Saturday.
Meanwhile my daughters are gathering back in the UK using all my recipes to keep the family traditions going.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

One of my colleagues is using American Thanksgiving (the Canadian one's in October) as an excuse for a dinner-party on Saturday, for which she's doing turkey and the trimmings, so we'll be celebrating with you.
Memo to self: don't OD on turkey ...

A single serving of turkey breast on the grill here to go with a quiet, relaxed day by myself. Will go out and run, then try to get the leaves raked before the big storm hits tomorrow.
Normally we have a big Thanksgiving, but my wife is with daughter and granddaughter in Hawaii (it's a rough life being a grandmother). I was invited to dinner with some of my family that I haven't seen in years, but that would be about 500 miles of driving each way, so I'll participate via FaceTime instead.
And I'll take time to be grateful for a wonderful life and the people in it.

Ah, what a wonderful day it was! We had nine (D-U invited a friend whose family went to Tampa for dinner. The friend had to w*rk this afternoon.)
Good thing she came. Someone had to help eat all that food and the 20 1/2# turkey!

As far as I can remember I've only once cooked a whole turkey, and that was when we won one in a raffle one Christmas in Belfast.
It's fine when somebody else cooks it though; at Christmas, along with the rest of the Cathedral staff, D. is given a turkey, and as a couple in the choir have us and several others round for Christmas dinner, we provide the turkey and they cook it.

Oof.
Thanksgiving was a traditional massive dinner plus birthday party plus music jam. It was huge and noisy and terrific. Last night was Thanksgiving 2, which we also hosted, with the Fella's dearest friends. A mexican style dinner of also epic proportions. Gobs of food and people. I have eaten enough for an army this holiday, and washed enough dishes as well. So much fun and so much fellowship. I love our combined blood and water families.
I also need a second fridge for all the food. Posolè, anyone? Turkey? Did you know pumpkin pie was intended as a breakfast food? I have been informed as much.

Thanks! Naw, no lawyer, it's only a bit came off the bone that wasn't supposed to, and therefore the lovely lovely graft and stitches. I don't suppose for a moment anything horrid is going to happen (besides the stitches, I mean) and we've been going to this guy for 25 years. Everyone should get one mistake.

Cut way back on the sugar and add more eggs.
Makes it so healthy you have to eat it for breakfast! (Not sure how it would come out deep fried, however...)

Lord, have mercy. Advent service tonight, with a huge pot of soup which almost nobody ate (put out too late). Two magazine articles to rewrite early in the a.m., one of which I totally screwed up. One freaking-out teenager with a science test tomorrow for which he has not yet studied because Advent (why oh why didn't I make him take the stuff with him?). One freaked out husband who keeps putting things down and losing them right in front of his eyes. One botched dental surgery adding total joy to my life. Why oh why oh why oh why...
Tell me it will be better tomorrow. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)

LC.
Could you divide your soup into manageable portions (for easier storage) and freeze it for another time?
I'm imagining coming in from Midnight Mass/Nine Lessons and Carols/[insert service of choice] on a cold night and having a nice pot of soup ready to heat up.

Heheheheh. Well, I could, except the exigencies of a serving line meant we had to add the noodles to the soup already--and that won't freeze well...
I did manage to palm a lot of it off on a church friend (cries of "No! No! We don't want that much!").
I am now posting like a bad, bad girl in order to avoid re-writing the very article I should have finished last night. Bad LC. Bad.
