Hi Woody.

 

[nskjerven]

true

Here is another photo of puppy

Deb

Do you want to hug him?

Scottishwee35

Sleep snooze......

Thanks Deborah, now Molly wants a new border collie puppy for Xmas so do I come to think of it. They are beautiful, but messy, so for now, no new doggies here.

Now my mouth is watering....bourbon candied sweet potatoes......sounds heavenly.

Ian, I need this receipe, I'm on yam duty for tomorrow. I'll make something different this year Is it really as simple as you outline below in the other posts???

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Good luck! I hope you can get your money back!

Thanks and we are waiting to hear. The judge took it under advisement. The good news is our tenant fessed up to all the damage (caused by a visiting dog) and dirtyness (is that a word) shown in our pictures. The bad news is (and we knew this going in) that we didn't give him notice of our intent to keep and ask for more money within the 15 days required by law. Not that it is a reason, more of an excuse, but we didn't have all the charges @ 15 days out and I was so emotionally upset over the whole thing that I didn't get it written up. Even though the law says you must produce this for a tenant there are no teeth to the law, such that damages are awarded for not doing so. Again, not a reason, more of an excuse. Paul thinks we are getting an award and I'm suspecting we will too, but ya never know until it's over. Should be 2-3 weeks until we hear by mail. Then we can try to collect. Funny thing is that even though he owed us more money from his damages and dirty condition Paul & I agreed to let it go and not try to collect, so if we win the case he really brought this on all on his own

This is WONDERFUL news. Sukie was polishing the silver and I told him we were going to have lots of guests next year and the table would have to be moved into the living room.

It will be just about time for another humongous Thanksgiving.

I told Paul of the Chicago Tday 2009 plans and he looked at me and said fly to Chicago on the worst travel weekend of the year, ya why not ok do you hear the scarasm??? We really would love to come, we'll have to see what is going on next summer/fall and plan it then

Cheri,

I sent you a little gift. Check your email.

At least you're baking your pecan pie.

I know that one of our guests is going to be bringing a supermarket pumpkin pie tomorrow. He does every year. He brings the damn pie and then steals all of the left over turkey before I can get into the kitchen.

Last year, I really wanted a turkey sandwich the day after and there was absolutely no left overs.

Where is Nan when I need her to administer slap therapy, or at least eat the damn pie?

This is a CRIME, a slap will not be enough punishment for lack of turkey. This is my big complaint about going to my sisters house. I never get enough leftovers. Fortunately we go away on Saturday, so we really just need one sandwhich (for me and Paul) on Friday. Hopefully we will steal just enough for that and be on our way.

No I'm still here. I had to pull the gratin out of the oven. I also decided to amuse myself by taking photos.

So, in an act of desperation, here is one of the dogs:

I think those dogs eat the turkey You place this in kennels for the holidays right

Hi Woody.

Marilyn - We have some visitors from the U.K.. We had to explain to them some American traditions -- Thanksgiving and shopping on Black Friday.

Woody

 

[granmaz]

I would enjoy Thanksgiving, but Black Friday shopping would stress me!!!

However, we might just be shopping in Orlando on Sunday.

 

[Tigger1221]

Oh my gosh Ian what a cute dog!!!

I wanted to go ahaead and wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
I hope everyone has a great day. I have to bake a pie and nuts and bolts tonight, so probably won't be on the Dis till after Thursday!

 

[gaylean93]

It's days like this that make me want a maid.

Don't be fooled by her looks. That's the evil one, or the "claw-footed one who walks among us" as we affectionately call her.

 

[gaylean93]

I'm cleaning, baking the pies and listening to Madonna (I'm not sure why). I might not be able to make the blackberry because I'm not sure I have time to go back to the store. I guess we can survive with peach and pumpkin. The turkey is 25 pounds so I have to get up at 5:00 am to put it in That's alright because I'll be up at 3:00 am on Friday to go shopping. That is fun though so it will be easy......with a little coffee that is.

I went to the store and ordered my rib roast for Friday night and I can't wait to spend the day with just the four of us

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Bubba this is for you too. I refuse to pay 20 cents to text you back

Ian, I need this receipe, I'm on yam duty for tomorrow. I'll make something different this year Is it really as simple as you outline below in the other posts???

Nan, here's the recipe:

• 3 pound large sweet potatoes, peeled and halved crosswise
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup bourbon (you can go to 3/4 if you wish but judge it by how syrupy it gets)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut each potato half lengthwise into fourths. Steam potatoes on a steamer rack set over boiling water, covered, until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes, then cool, uncovered. Transfer to a buttered 3-quart shallow baking dish.
Simmer brown sugar, bourbon, water, and salt, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is thickened, about 5 minutes. Drizzle syrup over potatoes and bake in middle of oven, basting occasionally, until syrup is thickened, about 1 1/4 hours.

I'm so glad we're going to my sister's house

Sorry you have to clean the house today...

 

[gaylean93]

Marilyn Manson is playing now......that is a huge change. I have to question Jon's taste in music at this point

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Ian I can smell your house from here....it smells delicious. That's probably the part I miss the most....the smells of cooking in the kitchen....walking into mom's house for this holiday and my mouth just watered. Good memories.

If John and I get to come to your house for turkey day next year, do you want us to bring our mulling spices with wine? Talk about the house smelling nice.....John does this every year for turkey day or christmas or both. We didn't get any yet this year....but we will. It's a warm spiced wine with almond slices and fruits. He usually cooks it in our crock pot. It's so good.

 

[Tink rules]

I read them I just don't usually quote them because I'm too lazy to delete stuff

That's why she doesn't talk to me... I multi quote... (or else I would have been over 10,000 a long time ago!!!)

Are you then going to admire the painting on black velvet of dogs playing poker?

(Wear long pants. It hurts when you stick to the slip covers).





This is WONDERFUL news. Sukie was polishing the silver and I told him we were going to have lots of guests next year and the table would have to be moved into the living room.

Spray Pam on slipcovers...you don't stick...

You're gonna have to get another fridge...

Her Majesty is on Anniversary week...

That is very low behaviour stealing your left over turkey! Next year it will all be eaten up no doubt!!!

Because we eat Christmas Dinner at one of our children's houses we never have any left over turkey either, so this year I am going to do a mini Christmas dinner just for us!! I even have a small christmas pudding I made.

We make a turkey no matter what... even if we are away for the holiday.

This year we have our neighbor coming - she's alone for the holiday and I just adopt everyone, you know..

& mom's not bringing store bought pie...

but I do smell the turnips cooking... (someday I know I will miss that smell... )

Where is Paul's sense of adventure? Tell him we'll all pile in the car and visit the Obamas for dessert.

He's not even one of the proper guests. He's somebody's boyfriend (OK, he has been coming here for Thanksgiving for about 12 years or so, and his annoying us every year has become somewhat of an Eastwood tradition, but he is still relegated to the designation of, "the boyfriend."

Considering that this year I have the 6 million dollar heritage turkey, the most expensive turkey I could possibly find in the entire northern hemisphere, there is going to be a battle and a race for the left overs.

The turkey is currently comfortably sleeping with the angels in the basement fridge. It does not know that tomorrow it is going to be the center piece of from what hereafter will be known as the "Great Heritage Turkey Left Over War of '08."

As God is my witness, I WILL have a turkey sandwich on Friday.

Nan - I suggest you do what "the boyfriend" does, while everyone is in the other room lolling around stuffed, march into the kitchen, pull out the tin foil, the ziploc containers, and make yourself a doggie bag. It also helps if you rummage through the kitchen cabinets for a shopping bag. Then, after you have packed everything up, you innocently ask, "You don't mind if I take some left overs, do you? You're such a good cook."

Try it. It's seemed to work at Eastwood Manor for the past dozen years or so.

I think those dogs eat the turkey You place this in kennels for the holidays right

The does will be in basement out of the way. They are too small and get under people's feet.

Also, Tallulah is known to sit looking at someone pulling that, "Gee I'm so cute and lovable, don't you want to give me some turkey?" crap. She can then be found on the sofa lying on her side, with her stomach distended, belching in a very ladylike fashion.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Next year I have Jackie and Cheri to beat him up.

Are you kidding....I plan on stealing an entire turkey leg and taking it home with me..... ....love me some dark meat!


....back to catch up.....


...oh and did you notice...I'm NOT at the movies with my teammates...got cancelled and now I have to sit here all day....

 

[Tink rules]

No I'm still here. I had to pull the gratin out of the oven. I also decided to amuse myself by taking photos.

So, in an act of desperation, here is one of the dogs:

So cute.... So deceptive...

Bodyguards.. and a photographer to get it all...

Oh Ian we all have one of those in our family... Turkey stealers...

& be careful... You may find the pooches downstairs munching on one of the heritage legs... and a smear of turkey grease going down the stairway...

Ok... creepy day...

You see back in High School I had a guy who used to well, almost STALK me... We all hung out in a group together and he took it a bit too far...

It's been something that all of my friends have sort of kept an eye on for me...

Well... then there's facebook and classmates...

seems he's been checking my profile on both (it appears on classmates each time he visits and some of my friends have told me he's asked about me... ) alot... I did not accept him as a friend when the request came through - I think it was a good idea...

I called one of my friends to let him know... we'll see if anything else happens... I thought these headaches went away long ago...

 

[Tink rules]

OK.....

So does it absolutely drive you NUTS when someone calls you up and says "Hey... I'm going to Disneyworld next month..." and you KNOW that they haven't planned squat and you couldn't POSSIBLY tell them what they need to know and Glory B... why did you book rack rates????

I give...

Xmas week and no ADR's... I hope they like Chicken fingers...
