Mmm, the day after Thanksgiving. Pie for breakfast
7:02 am
mael

I haven't eaten anything since he last whoopie pie at 1 pm yesterday and i'm still not hungry
7:03 am
MollyL

Wow, you eat the Thanksgiving meal early
7:06 am
aslindy

hello all
7:09 am
aslindy

we're having Thanksgiving today, since my son in law had to work yesterday
7:15 am
mael

yeah, we have thanksgiving lunch
7:16 am
mael

it's great, everyone's out of your house by like 3
7:17 am
aslindy

we always had the big meal in the early afternoon, then play cards and games and watch football, eventually having turkey sandwiches on rolls for supper
7:18 am
aslindy

but that was when we'd go to my grandma's house, and all my aunts and uncles were there, and a bunch of cousins
7:19 am
MollyL

We eat around 3 so everyone can head home for the later afternoon game and lounge around in their comfortable clothes. Although, we don't really dress up too much for Thanksgiving.
7:21 am
aslindy

yeah, we never dressed up, though we did use the good china and real silverware. I remember having to polish that silverware
7:23 am
aslindy

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, too. One of my nieces and her husband are stopping here on their way home, with their little baby who was named after my dad.
7:24 am
MollyL

I use the good silver and my Thanksgiving dinnerware. It makes for a festive table.
7:26 am
MollyL

I store my silver in plastic and it doesn't usually tarnish. All except the very old pie server that has been in the family a long time. That I usually have to polish.
7:26 am
aslindy

I don't own any actual silver, and my good dishes are still in boxes... somewhere around here. I have seen the Christmas dishes, at least.
7:27 am
MollyL

The only reason I have silver is that I got it when my Mom passed. It's nice to have for holiday meals.
7:27 am

7:27 am
aslindy

We had a special hinged wooden box lined with... something soft like velvet, with separate slots for each knife in the lid and spaces for all the different forks and spoons in the base. and all the serving pieces, etc.
7:27 am
mael

it's just a regular lunch here, but with a turkey. No one dresses up, we use our regular china, and I always have flowers on the table anyway :)
7:27 am
mael

that all sounds lovely
7:28 am
MollyL

I love flowers on the table.
7:28 am
mael

I'll be back later, heading in to the Museum of Fine Arts for a daytime date with the husband, kids are getting deposited at their grandparents' house
7:29 am
MollyL

That sounds nice mael, enjoy.
7:29 am
rururocks

This is like a martha stewart chat from hell :D
7:29 am
aslindy

I lost all my fall/thanksgiving decor when we had water in the basement. This year we stopped at Hobby Lobby, and all the fall stuff was on clearance 90% off, so I got some stuff to make a centerpiece for under $4
7:29 am
MollyL

Oh, like you're not into table presentation.
7:30 am
rururocks

I don't go overboard with it
7:30 am
rururocks

just lots of glassware
7:30 am
MollyL

You would have been proud of me Ru. My turkey was picture perfect and as tender as can be. The best part? No brining.
7:30 am
rururocks

oh nice.. that's great
7:30 am
aslindy

most of the time, I'm sitting here at the computer for meals. that will likely change now that my husband is retired and I'm not actually alone most of the time!
7:31 am
aslindy

oh molly, what's the secret? I still have to bake a turkey today!
7:31 am
rururocks

how big was the bird I am guessing pretty large with your group
7:32 am
MollyL

After this year, as long as I get a fresh turkey, I am skipping the brine. It's a pain in the ass. No real secret. Put lots of butter under the skin, stuff it with carrots,celery, oios and half an apple and don't over cook it. My turkey was 18-20 pounds. Soup stock is on the stove.
7:32 am
bichon

We went to a restaurant and was super
7:32 am
aslindy

we always get a big turkey, and I put lots of cooked turkey in the freezer, along with lots of turkey broth, for soup all winter
7:34 am
aslindy

I think my turkey is just under 18 pounds. No celery, but I often stuff orange wedges in.
7:37 am
bichon

when we left the restaurant we said "no clean up"
7:37 am
aslindy

that's a huge bonus, bichon
7:38 am
rururocks

i had a simple dinner yesterday.. not a lot of clean up
7:39 am
MollyL

Celery is a big Thanksgiving staple for me. It goes in the stuffing, in the turkey and in the soup the next day. Somehow, the clean up doesn't bother me that much. It's the cleaning before that wears me out.
7:40 am
aslindy

I like celery, but my husband hates it :(
7:40 am
rururocks

I like celery here.. it's a nice snack
7:40 am
aslindy

he also doesn't like cooked carrots. I don't know what's wrong with him. also he grew up in Wisconsin and doesn't drink beer!
7:41 am
rururocks

wow.. carrots are delicious
7:41 am
MollyL

The turkey roaster is the big clean up pain. No matter how much foil I use to line it, it still gets greasy. I think I used a half a roll of paper towels de-greasing it last night.
7:41 am
aslindy

right? especially roasted ones!
7:42 am
MollyL

For some people, it's a texture thing.
7:43 am
aslindy

yeah, he won't eat things like oatmeal or squash because of the texture. but he likes tapioca, which I can't stand!
7:43 am
aslindy

and he likes mashed potatoes... so I don't get the texture thing.
7:43 am
MollyL

Okay, he's one of "those kind" of eaters. We should introduce him to Eva's ex.
7:44 am
rururocks

i'm not big on tapioca either
7:44 am
aslindy

I think it's because of however his mom made those things, because his sister doesn't like cooked carrots either. they were probably boiled to death, like most veg during those years.
7:45 am
rururocks

that was my mom.. a really good baker, but a lousy cook
7:45 am
MollyL

Oh my mother was terrible with vegetables. They were always like mush, and she never used fresh.
7:46 am
aslindy

I don't like mushrooms, and that's mostly texture, except I don't like them raw either. but he loves them so I always give mine to him, and we're both happier that way.
7:46 am
rururocks

so sort of a give and shitake between you two?
7:47 am
MollyL

I don't like mushrooms either but it's the taste, not the texture. The only texture I have a problem with is slimy, like okra. Gross.
7:47 am
aslindy

we had a lot of fresh veg because we had a big garden. with 6 kids, it was easier to afford veg that way. plus my dad came from a long line of farmers, so he knew a lot about gardening. but then he became an electrician, go figure.
7:47 am
aslindy

haha ruru, exactly!
7:48 am
rururocks

I love all kinds of mushrooms, especially chantrelles and morels
7:49 am
rururocks

and truffles
7:49 am
rururocks

love me some truffles
7:49 am
aslindy

I like chocolate truffles, not the fungus kind
7:50 am
bichon

I'm one of the few people who won't eat mushrooms
7:51 am
aslindy

I'm one of the few who can't eat raw tomatoes. Plus I don't like them, so that's ok.
7:52 am
rururocks

wow you guys are picky
7:53 am
MollyL

Says the guy who will only eat breakfast food for breakfast
7:53 am
rururocks

um.... pizza for breakfast.. gross me out
7:53 am
aslindy

raw tomatoes make me quite ill, so it's not really being picky.
7:53 am
rururocks

really lindy don't go to Italy then
7:55 am
aslindy

no plans to go there
7:59 am

8:02 am

I've never gone.. really want to see the countryside mostly.. the food is incredible I hear.
8:03 am
MollyL

Oh, for some reason, I thought you had been there.
8:03 am
MollyL

My oldest went with a friend and loved it.
8:03 am
rururocks

nope.. just france and scotland so far.. eventually Italy, france again and greece
8:04 am
MollyL

Greece looks beautiful.
8:04 am
rururocks

my brother went to greece like a dozen times it was his thing
8:04 am
aslindy

I've never been to europe at all. the only other countries I've been to are canada and mexico. so far.
8:05 am
rururocks

I love Canada..especially British Columbia
8:05 am
aslindy

I've only been to the toronto area, and then on over to niagara falls
8:06 am
rururocks

oh lindy Vancouver Island is one of the most beautiful places on earth.. so gorgeous there everywhere
8:07 am

A friend of mine just posted that he made himself an old fashioned yesterday, and went to change the music to relax. When he came back, his drink was gone. One of his dogs climbed up, drained the drink, and was drunk as a skunk for a while!
8:30 am
rururocks

my dogs have never done that
8:30 am
ChampFit

Mine either.
8:32 am
rururocks

so the dog got shih tzued
8:32 am

What did you do for Thanksgiving? Got my dog drunk.
8:38 am
rururocks

true.. the old fashioned way too
8:38 am
ChampFit

He said nothing else on the table was touched. The dog was on a mission.
8:38 am
MollyL

I haven't made an old fashioned since I had a sixty year old customer 40 years ago.
8:40 am
ChampFit

my friend has beer loving havanese.

8:41 am
72 Temple Owl

beer is always servied in the bottle at her place
8:42 am
MollyL

No dog would come between me and my beer
8:42 am
72 Temple Owl

if they are good at parties they will get a taste.. controlled
8:43 am
72 Temple Owl

but no one leaves any unattended.
8:50 am
rururocks

good thing that dog isn't in springfield Ohio
8:56 am
MollyL

Homemade turkey soup is a great Thanksgiving bonus.
8:57 am
rururocks

cream of turkey soup.. I'd eat that
8:57 am
rururocks

I don't like turkey much these days long story
8:58 am
MollyL

If I had a bigger kitchen I would try more creamed soup. The process is long and kind of messy. And involves appliances I have to haul around due to the small kitchen.
9:05 am

hi welki, how's it going?
9:10 am
welki

very well, thanks! how about on your side of the screen?
9:11 am
saanichcat

all things considered, very well!
9:12 am
welki

enjoyed a few thanksgivings this year :) one in canada, a community dinner on wednesday and a traditional dinner yesterday with four friends
9:14 am
saanichcat

luck bunny, you! Three thanksgivings. I am off to the west coast of the Island later today and a dinner like that awaits...
9:15 am
welki

i prepared dressing, it had walnuts and cherries in it - was delish
9:15 am
saanichcat

hey that sounds great, I will try that. do you add it to a sage dressing?
9:15 am
welki

<-- has lots to be thankful for, i needed three dinners :D
9:24 am
welki

the stuffing - i use bell's seasoning, so yes there's some sage in it
9:26 am
rururocks

sounds good except for the walnuts
9:27 am
welki

i always check to see if there are dietary restrictions beforehand - for you, i'd make it without nuts
9:28 am
rururocks

yeah.. going to the emergency room with your throat closing is no fun at all believe me
9:28 am
welki

you keep an epipen handy?
9:29 am
MollyL

I made stuffing with sausage in it one year. It was very good, I should try that again.
9:29 am
rururocks

used to.. they're too expensive here in the US now. I am just really careful
9:32 am
saanichcat

agreed Molly re sausage stuffing -- at one end of turkey with the bread stuffing inside and as side dish. The leftovers are my faves though. Once cooked a turkey just for sandwiches.
9:35 am
rururocks

an epipen is over 850 bucks here in the usa and it expires too quickly
9:35 am
MollyL

That is obscene Ru
9:35 am
rururocks

tell me about it..
9:36 am
rururocks

they're a lot cheaper in Canada I hear
9:36 am
bichon

Does insurance cover it?
9:36 am
rururocks

not really bichon
9:37 am
rururocks

finally found all the d's
9:37 am
rururocks

what a grid jeez
9:42 am
bichon

ru, d.i.l. says her insurance covers it
9:43 am
saanichcat

I can get you one ru
9:44 am

My mom has to have an injection every 8 weeks. Cost to her is $1040 with insurance.
9:46 am
bichon

Yikes, Bea
9:46 am
BzznBea

Big Pharma is criminal.
9:47 am
rururocks

i rest my case.. my cost is $859 with insurance and they expire in about a year or so
9:48 am
hokie carla

my mom just got a botox injection in her hand (was drawing in from the stroke) and she had to pay over $1100 for an ambulance to take her across the street from her nursing home and they want her to come back for a follow up.
9:48 am
bichon

oy vey
9:49 am
rururocks

that's insane hokes
9:49 am
bichon

I had botox injections to stop my head from shaking
9:49 am
BzznBea

Why can't they come to her? That's ridiculous.
9:50 am
rururocks

I'm thinking about Bourbon injections later today
9:50 am
hokie carla

well, we finally got her on medicaid after all the money was gone so at least the next trip will be paid for. what's also crazy is the ambulance service is in another city.
9:51 am
rururocks

a person at the facility couldn't wheel her across the street?
9:51 am
hokie carla

that's what I was saying, bea. I mentioned that to my friend who is a PT in hospital setting and she says "because they're specialists, they don't do that." Yes, but why wouldn't they? Surely there is more than one patient that needs a specialist in a nursing home.
9:52 am
hokie carla

well, it is a busy four-lane road and fairly hilly, ruru, so no. and one of us had to meet her there to go to the appt. my one brother volunteered.
9:54 am
rururocks

I'm guessing your mother can no longer walk much?
9:54 am
hokie carla

not at all
9:54 am
rururocks

oh sorry for her then.. I get it.
9:55 am
rururocks

shit I'd drive out there and do it for $1,000 and save her money :D
9:56 am
hokie carla

ha
9:56 am
hokie carla

I mean, we'd do it if we could get her in a car seat and back out.
9:57 am
hokie carla

okay bea, what is my last upper A?
9:57 am
rururocks

How old is she hokes?
9:57 am
hokie carla

just turned 81
9:58 am
BzznBea

I only have six of those.
9:59 am

I was stuck on 6 and then found a group of 4

10:06 am
hokie carla

you too, ruru
10:09 am
hokie carla

well, the M is a real mystery. still need 10 on the left.
10:09 am
BzznBea

How was your turkey, Carla?
10:10 am
hokie carla

it was pretty good. I don't know where the dressing went wrong though. it had a weird taste. I used TJ's gluten free stuffing but only about half the seasoning, so maybe that was it.
10:11 am
hokie carla

did your oven go out yesterday or already was not working?
10:11 am
BzznBea

It was not working last week when I went to bake something.
10:12 am
BzznBea

Mr. Bea doesn't like to call repair men. Thus no oven for TDay.
10:12 am
hokie carla

ah, so did you get a turkey from somewhere?
10:14 am
BzznBea

I was only going to do a turkey breast as we won't eat the entire turkey. I fixed it in the crock pot. It was moist and tender.
10:15 am
hokie carla

yeah, my mom always did that. we always joked that my mom made an entire thanksgiving with a toaster oven, crock pot, and one working stove eye.
10:16 am
hokie carla

her house had a tiny 50s oven and so she couldn't find a new one to fit. she eventually got a range but went without a real oven for many years.
10:17 am
BzznBea

I didn't have any stove for almost a year after we moved here. Crock pot, electric roaster, electric skillet and microwave was all I had.
10:19 am
hokie carla

I would rather just do a crock pot turkey breast but couldn't find those when I was looking.
10:23 am
hokie carla

bea, did you have any of your daughters/families come?
10:24 am
BzznBea

Daughter from Raleigh came with our two grandsons and her SO.
10:25 am
hokie carla

wait, am I forgetting you have a daughter in raleigh? I thought they were all in KS or somewhere.
10:26 am
BzznBea

Mr. Bea's youngest daughter.

thanks. was thinking it was the state of looking like a sourpuss, but no, it's a horse disease.
2:33 pm

Decided to go the the theatre with the grandsons. Moana 2 was the chosen movie. Sold out.
2:45 pm

Amazing. It got terrible reviews.

I've never let a bad review keep me from seeing a movie.

A Real Pain unexpectedly good. Jesse Eisenberg as one of a pair of cousins doing the heritage tour of Poland and looking for the house where their grandmother had lived. The cousins have a complex relationship.
3:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I did NOT want to line up and see Wicked.
3:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne

A Real Pain is a title with several meanings. Part of the tour was concentration camp, and how they tried to derive meaning out of a tourist excursion
3:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I can usually tell from the previews whether there is something I am interested in...but they give away the whole movie. There is a Nicole Kidman movie that seems to be about BDSM relationship- not on my list. I don't know what to see on Jewish Christmas--slim pickings this year.

I still need 8 + 4 M's
4:20 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, I'm OK. funny you asked. Went to an endless memorial tribute for a kid of 30 who OD'd. There was no structure to it and people told stories- but the thing was that no one could really talk about his addiction and most of his friends there were troubled. Everyone was reminiscing and his mother, a painter whose husband died of ALS 10 years ago , also a renowned painter...there was something strange about this memorial . I felt more angry than sad, and I think I was holding feelings that everyone was pushing away. Anger that no one could mention his addiction as a consequence of grief. It was very complex as I have known all these people for years and years. Our kids were in daycare together. The after-party was just that- a party with plenty to drink. It was very raspy, no offense to anyone. I longed for the comfort of a shiva. The good thin about some religions is that there are rituals around death so people know what to do. I didn't know what to do here. Sorry if I'm not making sense. It was just me and my husband for Thanksgiving...my oldest daughter is hugely pregnant with grandchild #2, and our other daughter is wonderful but needs a lot more structure to feel grounded. She's in Italy now.
4:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I didn't mean raspy, I meant Waspy.
4:23 pm
java2

Hugs and love. May you be comforted.
4:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I know that is a slur too, but I have been to Jewish , Moslem and Catholic mourning and there is an order to it. This was weird. And my daughter got unintentionally drunk because people kept refilling her glass.
4:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I did an eval of the kid who died about 10 years ago because he had a DUI- it was right after his father died so horribly. I knew he wasn't doing well. I tried to talk to his mother about it, but she is an Artist, and has this persona of being clueless. Enough to never pay me for doing the substance abuse evaluation...that's petty, but was meaningful. I'm an artist too but I am not Professional- I sell occasionally. This was a whole building full of artists and they are very competitive. Art came first, children second. There were four "only children" in the building who made their own family.
4:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Im dumping a lot of stuff. Sorry.
4:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne

don't worry if it doesn't make sense.
4:31 pm

Kaplan, you can tell us. We're here for you. Hugs and love from me, too.
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne

thanks for asking and for the comfort
4:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I'm tired of young people dying, and knowing that under Trump 2.0 owe will not get the services we need for Harm Reduction. WHY did he win again?
4:36 pm
mich_pdx

Americans as a society, perhaps because of our English, German, and Scandinavian roots, are notoriously bad at dealing with death. Waspy, stiff upper lip, don't air your dirty laundry, etc. It's a problem that adds to depression, in my opinion.
4:37 pm
mich_pdx

And yes, there's not enough to stem the desire for oblivion via drugs, let alone the access to powerful, destructive drugs.
4:40 pm
hurshy

the "why" seems to be a combination of people *feeling* that trump was validating their *feelings* while not knowing much about anything else, such as the fact that anything he might SAY to make working class people feel validated in their feeling that life is too hard and too expensive is very unlikely to translate into policy that will actually improve life for those people, and really knowing like NOTHING else about him, or policy, or anything.
4:44 pm
MollyL

That is all true. It reminds me of Howard Stern's interviews with people about why they were voting for Obama. They literally knew nothing about him.
5:10 pm
BzznBea

Kap, I'm so sorry you have this sadness with which to deal.

Kap, just coming in, catching up on the chat. I empathize with you, particularly about the young man and his ensuing memorial. Similar to a relative of mine who struggled for years with depression, and who committed suicide. None of that mentioned. (gentle hugs across the internet).
6:05 pm

dear hurshy, as always, I appreciate your insight. It sounds true.

thanks ch1212 - FYI, it's not really "my" insight - i was synthesizing the key takeway points i got from several different podcast guests (journalists, authors, professors) that Jon Stewart has had on his podcast the last few weeks. :)
7:04 pm
hurshy

80-90% of i everything i ever say on serious subjects is me drawing from other people
7:05 pm
ch1212

Me too, but it's still you who synthesizes the comments into your own coherent response. So please, take the compliment. :)
7:06 pm

i take it, it's just, you know, footnoting, lol
