Hi Sprite, and all

1:07 am

sprite

hiya jbp!

1:23 am

grannyrose

hello beautiful people, * hugs * sprite, * hugs * jbp, long timee no see.

1:24 am

grannyrose

and when i disappear i 30 minutes it's because of a huge squirrel in the form of my dinner. RIGHT???

1:25 am

grannyrose

how are you today sprite?

1:27 am

sprite

hello my dear friend!

1:28 am

sprite

*giggles* Right! I read it. This time.

1:29 am

sprite

I am getting sick again, grrrrrr. Inflamed throat, slight temp, all over tired and blech. Rob is not feeling very chipper either. I just arranged for the groceries to be delivered.

1:29 am

grannyrose

got a definite order from pain doc today. he wants me in for the extra two days to consolidate what we have achieved with my pain control.

1:30 am

sprite

Caya has our car, hers is being repaired... so either Rob has to go on his bike, or the store will deliver. Guess what. I am letting them do the work :D

1:30 am

sprite

sounds very good, honey. Am so glad he is keeping a close watch over you.

1:30 am

grannyrose

oh no darling. what the heck is going on over there? do i have to come over and tell the weather off?

1:30 am

sprite

yes yes yes yes yes!

1:31 am

grannyrose

good decision, let them do it.

1:31 am

sprite

and don't worry, nothing big going on. Just flu.

1:32 am

grannyrose

aww honey. that's ghastly. so much of it going around this year too.

1:33 am

sprite

well, to be honest, I cannot expect my body to adapt to the crazy weather here. One day, it is 18 C, next it literally freezes, next storm and rain all day.

1:34 am

grannyrose

it's too much sweetheart. i so feel your pain, as you well know.

1:35 am

sprite

it is okay, sweetie, nothing major. Just nasty.

1:35 am

sprite

so how are you holding up there?

1:36 am

grannyrose

i know honey.

1:38 am

grannyrose

doing quite well. managed to do my upper limb program this morning too. i walk two laps around the ward 5-6 times per day. physio says that's 600 metres. so i am doing 3-31/2 kilometres/day. doc is impressed. he says that is way more than he does.

1:38 am

sprite

you are going so strong! Am so darn proud of you.

1:41 am

grannyrose

the hardest part is knowing when to sit down and take a break. the mechanical pain in the hips can be nasty. fortunately because it is also a orthopedic ward the corridors have chairs everywhere so patients can sit and rest.

1:41 am

sprite

ikr? So hard to know when to push and when to pauze.

1:43 am

grannyrose

yeah. recognising that limit is hard. i am starting to realise that even if it is ONLY 10 more steps, it's better to sit, rest, and then do the steps properly.

1:44 am

grannyrose

oh for pete's sake. how did i miss the italian greeting?

1:45 am

sprite

yes. And to keep listening to your body.

1:46 am

sprite

oh that is a hard one to spot. Too many vowels.

1:49 am

sprite

like adieu. Also a tough one to spot.

1:49 am

grannyrose

* blinks * i've found all the e words. how on earth?? never mind!

1:49 am

grannyrose

oh and adios

1:49 am

sprite

even your brain is running strong, lol

1:50 am

grannyrose

maybe strong, not very fast lolol

1:51 am

sprite

lol

1:55 am

sprite

I had to get up at 3.30 am, couldn't lie down any longer. I made myself a cup of tea with a lot of honey and worked on the jellyfish. Then Nero thought it was high time he went for a walk, lolol. Silly dog.

1:56 am

grannyrose

what??? i hope you didn't comply.

1:57 am

sprite

not at that time. But at half past five he was so insistent it woke Rob up. So then I went.

1:57 am

grannyrose

oh for heavens sake! get a cork for him..lol

1:58 am

sprite

*giggles* He was like: Hey, you are up, right? So get with the program!

2:00 am

grannyrose

ikr? they can be so annoying sometimes... but i guess like us, if our sleep is disturbed, then our kidneys and bladders go go into daytime mode.

2:01 am

sprite

yeah and he gives us so much joy and laughter and all good things

2:02 am

grannyrose

exactly.

2:02 am

grannyrose

scart

2:03 am

close, but not there

2:03 am

grannyrose

whew, not a word

2:04 am

DINNER HERE!!. catch you later if you are still here. xxxxxx

2:05 am

enjoy, darling. *hugs*

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm in the home stretch. Dinner rolls are rising.

5:35 am

72 Temple Owl

happy thanksgiving

5:45 am

MollyL

What are your plans today TO?

5:50 am

72 Temple Owl

staying home, i have some sort of respiratory thing. making a steak later if appetite.

5:52 am

72 Temple Owl

you are hosting again. that's nice.

5:56 am

MollyL

Sorry you're not feeling well

5:57 am

72 Temple Owl

it's okay. was traveling on a bus with folks who fell ill like dominoes. so all in all, need to be home.

5:57 am

72 Temple Owl

actually feeling a lot better

5:57 am

72 Temple Owl

ty

5:58 am

MollyL

Ever since COVID I am uncomfortable in places with a lot of people. And I try not to share elevator rides anymore.

5:58 am

72 Temple Owl

i hear that. however, part of a group tour.

5:59 am

MollyL

Yeah, you have to roll the dice in situations like that.

5:59 am

72 Temple Owl

I didn;t even think about it until after the fact.

6:00 am

72 Temple Owl

the pace was fast and that did not help, along with beong out all day in public and using pbnlic facilities. No amount of lysol hand wipes can overcome that.

6:01 am

72 Temple Owl

anyway, good to be home in one's one bed and not ready to leave yet.

6:35 am

hello. phantom marsupial.

7:42 am

rururocks

there's no u phantom denied:

7:42 am

hokie carla

ah, GTFO 🤣

7:44 am

hokie carla

and Happy Thanksgiving

7:46 am

rururocks

well if you put it that way

7:48 am

hokie carla

what are you doing today, ruru?

7:50 am

rururocks

me? walking the dogs (we've have nice weather) and cooking for myself. I have a nice bottle of Champagne opened from last night's dinner. I had a friend coming but she got sick with something, so that's not happening now

7:51 am

rururocks

are your kids coming home for the holiday?

7:52 am

MollyL

Phantom denied 🤣🤣

7:53 am

hokie carla

oh, you and Temple Owl are friends? 😁 A nice weather dog walk sounds good. we have rain and clouds, supposed to be sunny at 3. the boys are here. played some poker and yahtzee last night.

7:54 am

hokie carla

getting ready to start the turkey. haven't made one in like 30 years.

7:54 am

rururocks

no TO doesn't like me much...

7:55 am

rururocks

turkey is easy to cook.. you just have to keep it moist and not overcook it

7:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, I'm going to try this mayo rub that's supposed to keep it juicy and moist. but I have to do it when no one is watching.

7:57 am

hokie carla

I only got a 10 pounder so should be easy to deal with

7:58 am

saanichcat

that mayo rub works with chicken so is should with turkey.

7:59 am

rururocks

wow.. 10 lbs and you're putting it in now?

7:59 am

rururocks

isn't that too early?

7:59 am

hokie carla

no, I'm still in my pj's and on my computer

8:00 am

hokie carla

would you all put it in a roasting bag or not with the mayo rub?

8:01 am

rururocks

no roasting bags for me ever

8:02 am

hokie carla

my mom always used one

8:02 am

hokie carla

until she started just doing a breast in the crock pot, which always turned out great

8:02 am

aslindy

we're doing thanksgiving tomorrow, since our son in law is working today (hospital lab tech)

8:03 am

hokie carla

so everyone coming to your new house, lindy?

8:04 am

aslindy

our 2 daughters, son in law, and their good friend, so there will be 6 of us

8:04 am

hokie carla

nice

8:06 am

MollyL

I do stuffing on the side. I stuffed my turkey with celery, carrots, a cut up apple and a cut up onion

8:06 am

bichon

We're going to a restaurant!!!

8:06 am

MollyL

I rub it with butter and put butter under the skin

8:06 am

hokie carla

yeah, my mom always did celery and an onion. we call stuffing dressing and do it in a pan

8:07 am

rururocks

I generally do stuffing on the side but stuff it with some stuffing and then herbs, and onions.

8:07 am

MollyL

My family always called it stuffing. Dressing goes on salad 😊

8:08 am

rururocks

I haven't cooked a turkey in a long time though.

8:08 am

hokie carla

well, in the mountains it's dressing

8:08 am

hokie carla

and I was looking at a pioneer woman recipe and she called it dressing, so I guess just in the country it's called that.

8:09 am

rururocks

in Oklahoma it is called dressing

8:09 am

hokie carla

and I can't eat turkey stuffed with gluten. you know that, molly!

8:09 am

hokie carla

I think if it's in a turkey it's stuffing and if it's in a pan it's dressing

8:09 am

aslindy

we call it either. I think of it as stuffing if it's actually in the bird, and dressing if it's made separately... though I've never actually made it in the bird.

8:10 am

rururocks

it helps keep the bird moist in the bird

8:11 am

MollyL

It's stuffing because it's what I would have stuffed in the bird but I didn't want to make everyone sick

8:12 am

rururocks

sick how?

8:12 am

hokie carla

salmonella

8:12 am

hokie carla

that's why they say not to do it in the bird

8:13 am

MollyL

Bacteria can survive in stuffing that has not reached 165 °F, possibly resulting in foodborne illness

8:13 am

rururocks

oh.. wow.. I've always done it that way.. never had a problem

8:13 am

MollyL

I used to always stuff the turkey but when that stuff came out about how it could make people sick I started making it on the side

8:14 am

rururocks

that makes sense to me.. I guess with the changes in processing birds it's more dangerous

8:15 am

aslindy

I love my instant-read thermometer, I use it for most meals to make sure everything is as hot as it should be.

8:16 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have 3 of those, one on the camper and two here.

8:27 am

hokie carla

ok, first pass done. 70 left and HOET. Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!

9:21 am

ChampFit

#winning

9:21 am

hurshy

well clue some more weird ones then!

9:21 am

mkg

Re the stuffing: the issue is that when the turkey is done, often the stuffing is still undercooked and that is when people get salmonella….so better to put the stuffing into its own pot. At least that is what i recall.

9:22 am

mkg

Any clues for the 7s or 8 welcome.

9:23 am

hurshy

phantom: eclat

9:24 am

9:24 am

hurshy

phantoms: resist, rascal

9:24 am

welki

thanks, hurshy

9:25 am

MollyL

It depends on how you make your stuffing. A lot of people put eggs in it, thus the need for proper cooking time

9:25 am

hurshy

thanks phae - is it weird or normal?

9:25 am

phaeton

don't have it yet

9:25 am

hurshy

oh

9:26 am

well i cant figure out the ta 8. Not seeing it at all.

9:33 am

hurshy

it's so rud

9:33 am

hurshy

rude

9:33 am

hurshy

pavement material, plural + more like that makes 7, plural for 8

9:34 am

mkg

Got the ta words! Ty very much.

9:34 am

rururocks

people do a lot more ruder stuff around here than that

9:34 am

hurshy

yeah well people also murder people, but that doesn't mean if i only rob a store i'm not gonna get arrested

9:35 am

rururocks

it does if you are in SF or Oakland

9:35 am

hurshy

*eyeroll*

9:36 am

mkg

Love this chat.

9:36 am

hurshy

the point is that other people's poor behavior is not an excuse for behaving poorly yourself

9:37 am

hurshy

speaking of poor behavior have NONE of these awful billionaires read or seen Christmas Carol???

9:37 am

rururocks

I am not behaving poorly. .. I'm just having fun with Hokie

9:39 am

hurshy

i would feel better if i heard directly from hokie that she assesses the funness of this the same as you do lol

9:40 am

rururocks

look below.. she does

9:40 am

ChampFit

Really? Pretty sure she'd jump right in if she were offended.

9:41 am

rururocks

I don't complain about A's Admonished, B's blasted or other silly stuff.... I don't make a big deal about anything other than personal attacks here.. but that's just me

9:42 am

hurshy

aha, i see

9:42 am

hurshy

before i arrived

9:42 am

ChampFit

I like your "approved phantom" today ru.

9:42 am

9:48 am

hokie carla

LOL, I have a very thick internet skin. You can't offend me. Also, I wouldn't have told him to GTFO if we weren't joking. Also, I knew he would have no idea what that meant. 😜

9:48 am

ChampFit

No kidding. You aren't a wallflower. You can certainly stand up for yourself!

9:48 am

rururocks

oh.. i figured that one out hokie

9:48 am

rururocks

potty mouth

9:49 am

hokie carla

Current Temptations on the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade as we speak!

9:50 am

BzznBea

<-----Wondering what else will go wrong with today's dinner.

9:50 am

hokie carla

you must be on a delay, champ

9:50 am

rururocks

that's a bad attitude bea

9:50 am

MollyL

Really, people here do not need to be "protected". Trust me, they all speak out when they don't like something.

9:50 am

hokie carla

that was like an hour ago here

9:51 am

MollyL

I think Champ is in a different time zone

9:51 am

rururocks

.. and some of them speak out when they shouldn't...

9:52 am

origami

I detest parades.

9:52 am

rururocks

Even when you can wear your KFC crocs?

9:53 am

MollyL

What about parades inspires detest?

9:53 am

origami

Ha, ru

9:53 am

origami

Crowds and noise, molly

9:54 am

MollyL

Okay, don't ever go to New York then. It is full of both.

9:54 am

rururocks

it's hard to do calculus problems on the sidewalk with all that noise?

9:55 am

origami

Exactly!

9:55 am

rururocks

*waves to dart* Happy THanksgiving

9:57 am

BzznBea

Ru, it's not a bad attitude. No oven.

9:57 am

ChampFit

I'm in the Central time zone. Texas.

9:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, that's a big problem, bea

9:58 am

Happy Thanksgiving!

9:59 am

ChampFit

And to you!

10:00 am

rururocks

omg.. go out to a restaurant bea

10:01 am

rururocks

I do a lot of stove top cooking but a holiday feast without an oven is impossible

10:01 am

MollyL

Instapot Thanksgiving!

10:02 am

MollyL

A holiday feast with one oven takes some juggling.

10:02 am

BzznBea

I've got the turkey breast in the slow cooker.

10:03 am

BzznBea

Will put the stuffing in the roaster.

10:04 am

rururocks

wow. what a time for your oven to go out

10:04 am

BzznBea

The rest will be done on the stove top.

10:04 am

ChampFit

Way to regroup, Bea!

10:04 am

MollyL

I had to get a new oven right before Thanksgiving two years ago. That made Christmas pretty thin

10:05 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. I hate it when appliances go at the most inopportune time

10:06 am

ChampFit

IMy dishwasher went out one year. Thankfully it was AFTER dinner.

10:06 am

MollyL

And my meat thermometer died on a Christmas resulting in over cooked expensive beef tenderloin

10:06 am

hokie carla

ok, my recipe says to use a roasting rack. I don't have one of those!

10:06 am

ChampFit

THANK YOU for the reminder! We need a new one. It's off by about 5-7 degrees.

10:06 am

MollyL

Doing dishes by hand when you aren't used to is a huge pain in the ass

10:06 am

hokie carla

guess it will just go straight in the pan

10:06 am

rururocks

talk about six degrees of separation

10:07 am

ChampFit

Do you have a cookie rack?

10:07 am

hokie carla

yeah, but not sure it's oven safe. it might be coated

10:07 am

MollyL

I got a turkey roasting pan a few years ago that came with a rack. I love it.

10:07 am

rururocks

she's gluten free no cookies

10:07 am

welki

hokie, crinkle tin foil in the bottom of the pan to keep the turkey from sitting in its juices

10:08 am

BzznBea

The rack just keeps it out of the juices and makes for easier removing the bird.

10:08 am

hokie carla

could put it in my toaster over air fryer basket I reckon

10:08 am

MollyL

Carla, just line the pan with a lot of heavy duty foil. You can also lay it on a layer of carrots and celery.

10:08 am

ChampFit

Also, could you put veggies under it? Carrots, potatoes,onions.

10:08 am

MollyL

Lay the turkey on the carrots and celery

10:08 am

hokie carla

also still have some roasting bags

10:08 am

rururocks

get a turkey futon

10:09 am

origami

Are sexiest and sexier approved phantoms?

10:09 am

hokie carla

you all are like the butterball hotline

10:09 am

rururocks

yes.. those are approved ori

10:09 am

ChampFit

If my vote counts, yeah!

10:09 am

hokie carla

I do have some carrots but they are shredded. have celery and onions.

10:10 am

ChampFit

There ya go!

10:10 am

BzznBea

use those

10:10 am

rururocks

a bed of celery and onions would be the way to go

10:10 am

welki

(you might even use some potatos to prop up the bird, and use them for soup tomorrow)

10:10 am

rururocks

butterball hotline HA

10:10 am

72 Temple Owl

welk

10:10 am

10:11 am

rururocks

10:11 am

hokie carla

there is actually a butterball hotline

10:12 am

rururocks

is that 1-800 Rosie O''Donnel?

10:12 am

hokie carla

it's on their website. I'll let you decide.

10:13 am

ChampFit

Must suck to be a hotline person. You know it's the same questions over and over.

pretty sure America's test ktichen had a slow cooker turkey breast recipe

10:13 am

rururocks

I wonder what the dumbest question was for the hotline?

10:14 am

ChampFit

Nothing would surprise me.

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i am sure there is a website for that

10:14 am

ChampFit

Bet it has to do with something in the cavity.

10:14 am

welki

hotline caller: how much did the turkey monica wore on her head weigh?

10:14 am

BzznBea

The turkey neck!

10:15 am

ChampFit

That scene grosses me out every time I see it welki!

10:15 am

rururocks

"which way do the legs go?"

10:15 am

origami

There's a funny video featuring a boy pulling the turkey neck out of the cavity and mistaking it for another body part.

10:15 am

welki

yeah, i can see where it could be disturbing

10:16 am

rururocks

I thought the thing on Monica's head was a desk?

10:16 am

BzznBea

Yes! I love that video. He is so funny.

10:17 am

BzznBea

I also like the one where they cook a cornish hen in the turkey then make a fuss tht the turkey was pregnant.

and a happy turkey day to all

10:20 am

ChampFit

Speaking of pregnant...I have a friend that adopted a dog earlier this month. She'd just had a litter. On Tuesday, she was clearly in distress, so they took her to the vet, and before the vet could even see her, out popped a puppy! She had another littler of 8 pups! The shelter missed that she was pregnant again when they adopted her out.

10:21 am

rururocks

oh my god are you kidding me?

10:21 am

ChampFit

Nope. She's back with a foster who deals with moms/pups, and they'll get her back once she's weaned them.

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

o.O

10:22 am

welki

that's horrible. did they tell her the dog had been spayed?

10:23 am

ChampFit

No, they told her it was too soon to do it due to the previous litter.

10:23 am

rururocks

how is that possible? unbelievable

10:24 am

ChampFit

I got nothing!

10:24 am

welki

poor girl - she must be so tired

10:25 am

rururocks

or she's a little doggy slut :D

10:25 am

ChampFit

The price of being a ho!

10:26 am

rururocks

HA!

10:26 am

rururocks

she probably couldn't reach up for the condoms on the counter

10:27 am

ChampFit

Million dollar idea ru! Doggie condoms!

10:29 am

rururocks

Ruff & Ready :D

10:29 am

ChampFit

....and there it is!!!!!!!!! FABULOUS!

10:30 am

<--- on his game today

10:31 am

ChampFit

For sure

10:31 am

MollyL

Marketing problem: Who would want to put them on?

10:31 am

rururocks

well.. I need to straighten up the kitchen.. have a great holiday to all of you who celebrate.

10:31 am

ChampFit

You too!

10:32 am

ChampFit

Ha! Just overheard my husband asking one of the kids for a new meat thermometer

10:33 am

ChampFit

For Christmas.

10:38 am

hokie carla

ok, it's in the oven! just a bit later than I'd planned.

10:38 am

hokie carla

but mr. homie is playing golf so was always planning on around 3pm.

10:39 am

ChampFit

My son is on the course as we speak! Glad you've got it worked out.

10:40 am

MollyL

Thanksgiving. Men play golf and football, women cook til they drop.

10:40 am

hokie carla

well, we'll see how it turns out. and now I gotta figure out how to bake other stuff in my toaster oven. wish I had a double oven.

10:41 am

ChampFit

Same! Next house will def have double ovens

10:41 am

MollyL

I time it so the turkey comes out an hour before we eat and then all the other dishes (pre-made) go in to warm up. The turkey needs to rest for an hour anyway.

10:42 am

ChampFit

One year I had a boatload of people over, so made a lot the day before, then heated in batches in the oven, and kept warm on the grill outside. Worked like a charm.

10:42 am

hokie carla

mine says to rest it for 20 min, but my mom used to do at least an hour

10:43 am

MollyL

Depends on how big it is. Mine is 18-20 pounds.

10:44 am

MollyL

Using the grill is a great idea Champ. I would if I had a gas grill. I prefer charcoal.

10:45 am

hokie carla

we only have a griddle

10:45 am

ChampFit

It definitely saved the day.

10:46 am

MollyL

My nephew is a deep fried turkey guy. He isn't this year though since his Dad passed last week. They are keeping the holiday low key.

10:47 am

ChampFit

I'm not on board with the deep fried turkey. It's ok, but not my thing. Going to be a difficult holiday for him. I'm sorry to hear that.

10:52 am

MollyL

Thanks Champ. His Dad was struggling with Alzheimer's but it was a peaceful passing and they are doing a good job of leaning on each other.

10:54 am

ChampFit

When my dad passed (15 years ago) it was right before Halloween. Thanksgving was WEIRD, but we had a nice time together, and telling "Joe" stories. Better together, for sure.

10:55 am

MollyL

Holidays the first year after you lose someone close are tough.

10:55 am

ChampFit

Yep.

10:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, I need to check in with my cousins. my aunt that just died was a big cook, always overdid it at thanksgiving and christmas.

10:59 am

ChampFit

That'll be hard for them.

10:59 am

hokie carla

yep

11:00 am

MollyL

Do you watch "The Bear"? Now THAT is overdoing it at Christmas.

11:01 am

hokie carla

I don't

11:03 am

ChampFit

I watched a couple of episodes. I need to get back to it.

11:04 am

hokie carla

one time way back before kids (the last time I made a turkey), mr. homie had to work on Fri so we stayed home. My cousin lived very close by and they had to stay in town too, so they came over and two of mr. homie's brothers came to town. anyhoo, there were 6 people and my cousin brought a 2qt pitcher of gravy.

11:04 am

MollyL

It is a very intense show. I am looking forward to the next season. It seems so long between seasons these days.

11:05 am

MollyL

Okay, that is a shit load of gravy.

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

yes it's such a tease. Yellowstone is the worst for that

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't eat gravy. except the elvis presley favorite one when absolutely necessary.

11:06 am

hokie carla

she learned it from her mom

11:08 am

MollyL

Never had Elvis gravy

11:13 am

hokie carla

maybe that is just regular gravy? TO does live in philly I think, where they call spaghetti sauce gravy.

11:29 am

ChampFit

Done. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

11:33 am

hokie carla

well done. you too!

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

elvis' gravy goes with his favorite meat loaf. comabies beef and chicken stock with seasoning and pureed mirepoix

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

not thickened with starch

11:44 am

BzznBea

It is thickened with flour roux.

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

just finished steaning the sweet potatoes. I will bake them with orange juice, some butter and some brown sugar.

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

ty bea i do not recall that

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

so you have made this?

11:46 am

BzznBea

That is how I make my brown gravies.

11:47 am

BzznBea

I can not use anything with corn products. So corn starch is out.

11:47 am

hokie carla

doesn't sound that different than my mom's, except maybe the mirepoix. she put that in dressing (though we never called it that) but not in gravy.

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

it helps to flavor and thicken

11:47 am

hokie carla

clarify, we never called it mirepoix

11:47 am

BzznBea

I put mirepoix in about everything I make.

11:48 am

hokie carla

getting ready to make some for my dressing

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i do recommend it easy and quick and no meat drippings needed.

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

but i prefer ketchup on meat loaf. i hold it as a vegetable.

11:49 am

hokie carla

I'm just using trader joe's gluten free turkey gravy. had it last year and it's really good.

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

i saw that.

11:50 am

hokie carla

yeah, I would put the gravy on the mashed potatoes with the meatloaf

11:50 am

MollyL

Mirepoix 🤣 chopped vegetables

11:50 am

BzznBea

Onions, celery and carrots

11:50 am

72 Temple Owl

the only turkey option they had was a half. too much. i have a turkey breast in the freezer but it will stay there.

11:51 am

hokie carla

I was going to just do onion and celery but I reckon I could put some of those shredded carrots in too. will saute in butter too.

11:51 am

BzznBea

Peppers, onions and celery is the holy trinity

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

neighbor said he will bring some over so i am making potatoes. but i really have no appetite.

11:53 am

72 Temple Owl

i like some things in stuffing. like mushrooms. also cranberries. but not meat.

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

church made hundreds of dinner trays. my job was making stuffing.

11:54 am

BzznBea

back to work...

11:54 am

hokie carla

11:55 am
