Something About Nothing ... #12

[marciemi]

Morning Marcie! Hope your coffee is hot today too. Keisha, I'm assuming more than one coffee consumed this morning. LOL

Morning Lynne! Already had the hot coffee here as well and switching to Iced Tea shortly. I can't imagine hosting meals for huge numbers of people like some of you do (Lynne, Janet!). Seriously, I doubt I've ever cooked for more than, maybe, 10 and that would be pushing it. Guess that happens when you don't live near family! Hope everyone has a good, albeit cold, day. Packing and bundling up for the trip to DC and not looking forward to the weather.

Been miserable here again today........wind had died down, but it's back blowing a hoolie again......lots of flooding all over.........

Got the boy stuck in bed with a mild flu.......he's on the mend though, doesn't make a fuss thankfully!

Janet, that is quite a houseful......wow.....very impressed! I adore turkey and ham.........we always eat that Christmas Day with all the trimmings........can't wait for that! No Thanksgiving for us.......although I do try and make turkey, Brie and cranberry sandwiches for lunch that day........lol.......not quite the same........


Sausages, mash and roasted veg for dinner tonight......

Although house is lovely and toasty, I feel like I want winter warming dishes and lots of it........any excuse.......

Good morning...still drinking my coffee

We will be traveling to my brother's house for the holiday, there should be around 22 people for dinner. It's about a 2 1/4 hour drive but at least I only have to bring a dessert. I kind of miss cooking a big dinner until I think of the cleaning up afterwards...that 4.5 hour roundtrip ride may be worth it..

I'm going to enjoy my time off this week since I have the next 3 days free.

Hope Robo is ok, maybe we'll hear from her soon.

Have a great Tuesday homies

Not enough coffee in the world today for me

Hope the weather is good for those traveling.

Made my punch 'ring' to keep it cold w/o watering it down, some left over. In the name of science, may have to try it laterto see if better with vodka, rum or tequila tonight

Oh, Nothing fancy here, that many people shoved into my home & they're lucky to get China & non plastic silver ware. If I don't find where I stashed the extra wine glasses guests may be using red solo cups. The beer sits in a cooler, yee-haw. I've banquet tables and folding chairs set up in my LR for half the crowd. I'd like to think it cozy haha

 

[macraven]

Red solo cups go with anything Keisha
Drink enough wine and the folks won't notice what they are drinking out of

Does anyone in your group make something to bring?
If not, out them on dish duty

Been a busy day organizing a project and soon to start dinner

Since I never made it out of the house for groceries will do blt and Mac/cheese and call it dinner

Tomorrow will be a trip to krystles for dinner
Haven't told they boys yet....

It is cold here
Walked outside to the mailbox and forgot to put a jacket on
It was 55 outside
But will be cold tonight
Electric blanket weather then

5 weeks early, but Baby Kylend decided he was ready to land on this rock called Earth!

 

[macraven]

What a cutie grandpa!!
Positively absolutely precious !!!!!

I thought we were having a girl
But glad it turned out to be a boy


I'm partial to boys since I have 4 of them

 

[Lynne G]

Great news Buckeev!

Such a handsome, sweet baby boy!

Best wishes to grandpa and the whole family.

 

[tink1957]

Congrats on the new grandson buck, what a cutie! Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[macraven]

And when will you be taking Kylend to the darkside?


I'll come when you do and just hold the baby all day long

 

[Lynne G]

That's right all you homies. Time to put on the hat, and get ready to be in a food coma. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I had to scrape my car windows, being that it's 32 degrees. Cold, yes. Sun is slowly making it brighter out. Time to check on the tea. I need a double extra large one today. Mainly to be used as a hand warmer first.

Oh, and since today is Wednesday, oh Keisha:

Wacky Wednesday, camel Wednesday. Either way, safe travels to those on the road, warm thoughts to those feelin' the cold, good health thoughts to those that need it, and all have a wonderful Wednesday and a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Adorable 'lil turkey. Jk, congrats Great name, never heard it before!

Lynne u beat me to the punch on the pic hahaha. Ok, something epic is in order

Think we need a road trip to where ever this is located.

 

[buckeev]

THANKS!
I just took him and Mommy to the doc's for a quick check up...both are doing quite well. I personally think the doc missed the date...This kid is acting like a 3-mo old! Can I get his Fast Passes and Express Passes now!
Grandma is at Universal right now with the 9 y/o granddaughter and two of the girls...They've eaten at the Wonka knock-off joint FOUR TIMES since Sunday!!! Wanted to go with them, but we had some "challenges" here with #1 Son...long story...
Anywho..,.my workload is off the charts right now, so there's that too. But I do make a pretty good family travel agent, if I may say so myself!

 

[Lynne G]

Happy Thanksgiving all, you homies! We are now dinner for 20.

Kids are sleeping late. Since the older one has a car, kids will be out late tonight.




Let the food ingesting begin!



Morning all. The heater is fired up, warm clothes on, and tea is just about ready. Enjoy all!

 

[macraven]

Morning all

Hope none of youse get snow and have it screw up your travel plans on turkey day


Ive never had large numbers like some of you cook for

Btw, how long do you cook a 9 lb turkey ?

 

[Robo56]

Btw, how long do you cook a 9 lb turkey

If thawed out and unstuffed 2 3/4 to 3 hours for 8-12 pound Turkey at 325- 350 ovens vary so check every 45 minutes.

Happy Thanksgiving Sans family. For all those who are cooking, may your family and friends you are cooking for show you lots of love and thankfulness for all your hard work and yummy cooking. To those who are partaking of all the love and kindness of others give them lots of love and thanks in return. For those who are traveling may you have safe travels.

 

[macraven]

Thanks robo!

Crap
This means my bird will be done at 11:00
I told Mr Mac to be home at 2:00 for food


Good thing I have a microwave
I can reheat two plates of food for us easily

[schumigirl]
