I need to motivate myself to start cooking.
I have all of the ingredients, I just haven’t worked up the motivation to do any of the cooking.
My bird is done, but I have a few things left.
I just finished cleaning the house, wife cooked. Heading out to friends’ house for Thanksgiving. I really enjoyed reading everyone’s thanks this morning. I would say I am thankful for every moment I get to spend with my 90 year old mother. And for my family, which is something I never thought I’d have.
I’m better at cooking than cleaning.
Oh,I forgot to add that everyone should pray for those who are about to eat my wife’s food…
OK, I laughed.
I’m not sure my mom’s cooking will be any better. But at least some sides are being brought by my sister, my niece, and myself.
My mother’s cooking comes with a big dose of nostalgia.
I was saddened when I realized I may now be the better cook.
Lol
Just deviled eggs for us this year.
I may end up making them because every time I think “I can use the eggs in that” the recipe turns out to not use eggs. 😛
And the farts will be known far and wide…
Bacon, capers, light bit of relish, mustard and mayo…sprinked with New Mexico chili powder….it will be the greatest farts known to man.
The bacon rotini and cheese is in the oven baking now. Leaving for the parents in about 90 minutes.
UCS, don’t you have a place to go on Thanksgiving and people to share it with?
We were lucky to get him to Honey Harvest this year.
One of these days, I’ll show up. I really don’t like missing it, but hubby with the bees… And I don’t like going on trips without him.
Allergic?
Deathly, to all of the things with stingers.
The last time a wasp stung me, it died a violent death. Bastid thinks he can sting me, he’s gonna get the palm of my hand.
The last mosquito that bit me is still in Betty Ford.

We move the bees a week before HH, however there may be a rare leftover. The yellow jackets and bumblebees are here but in limited numbers and only interested in eating. Ask some of the the others if they saw much bee activity. The Glibs are too busy talking/eating to notice too much.
You have Yellowjackets up there? I didn’t know they were that far north.
I hate those with a passion.
I suspect that name is applied to a whole bunch of similar bugs. But it could be the same species, I’m not sure.
NH had yellow jackets. I can see them in Minnesoda.
We have them in Alberta. Edmonton’s at latitude 53.5° N. All throughout the Canadian Rockies, too.
No bees at all.
No
Neither do I.
If nothing else, here’s to peace and solitude.
Cheers.
I sauteed my green beans and bacon and had that for lunch. I’m going to have to put the poultry in the oven and make the stuffing (will not be in bird). I think I’m going to add radishes to the stuffing for little crunchy bits.
That’s no way to stuff a turkey!
Damn you Brooksie!
Roadkill is like crack.
The Glib no room holiday Zoom is up and running, and should be up all weekend for those who want or need it.
I’m heading to NoDakMat’s shortly for Thanksgiving, but wanted to drop in quick and say I am thankful for each and every one of you. Even Hyperbole. I’m also thankful that Bro’ isn’t dead. I’m even thankful for the terrible music links that Ted’s puts up.
I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful day!
Hello to NoDakMat, see him next fall.
Thanks, you too 🙂
Was there a Bro’ update?
I was about to ask. Where is he? Is he just taking a break? Did he get deathly ill?
He popped in last night to denigrate my glorious first, said he had Lou Firster’s disease, and vanished into the night.
That was funny. Glad he’s not dead.
Ah, just checked. So it was a reappearance of jackass Bro’ not thoughtful Bro’.
If there was more of the latter the former would be far more tolerable.
It’s good that he checked in.
Indeed. I was concerned. Yes, he can be rude. But he is our jerk. And I care. Also I did his damn job appraisal. He can’t sie until I tell him how good he did firsting in 2022.
“Needs improvement on teamwork.”
That’s just a gimme. -1 for lazy usage.
Last night but a bit cryptic, then no more.
Hell, where’s tulip and kbolino?
Tulip got tired of our sausage party antics, I think. Hopefully she’ll come back. I enjoyed her posts.
She joins the zooms, but yeah….miss her posts too.
kbolino is a wonderful sparring partner; almost a muse for me.
He seems to pop in when he has something he wants to deep dive about. Right now we seem to be in the silliest time, so there isn’t much thought needed.
You too, MikeS
Thanks, Mike!
Say hi to Matt and have a wonderful day!
Why would anyone not be thankful for my music links?
Because we click them.
Does anybody here do any sim racing? I’m thinking of setting up a rig, but I’m struggling to find a one-stop shop where I can get all the right components as a package (less the PC). I plan on using a VR headset, so the tv mounts aren’t necessary.
Any help pointing me in a good direction would be greatly appreciated.
Not racing but sim flying.
HOTAS?
I just bought one fore Elite Dangerous. So much butter than XBOX controler.
MS Sim. I need to buy peripherals for it cause right now I am using the Xbox controller.
I just can’t do it. For the cost of many of those sim rigs you could get a real pilots license.
I always hate how the sim isn’t the same as a plane.. they are harder to fly.
Yeah, but crashing in the sim is safer.
I would hope that crashing (even in a sim) is frowned upon, unless you are trying for a nearly impossible scenario.
I know there is an entire sim community, ATC, pilots, everything.. but part of me goes “go do it for real, its much better”
At least after 6 hours of saying “N123WF, level 7000” I’m actually in Florida.
Was just down in FL 2 weeks ago… due to TS Nicole we had tailwinds both ways.
Yea I don’t do the hardcore VatSim with ATC. I do it casually and mainly because of the routine and procedures. It also gives me insight for my job on the automation side with changes in 56-day charts and such.
I get it man. Reality has the upsides for the results in most cases.
I’m baffled by that group. I too knew they existed, but that is so far outside of my interaction with these types of games that I couldn’t related.
I wouldn’t stick around for six hours of level flight in a sim.
sloopy – I believe “De do do do, de da da da” was a song written by Sting after the birth of his first child. Meant to put this comment in the correct thread, but oh, well.
I believe that’s right. But I’d forgotten. Thanks for reminding me. It made me smile.
Always love to hear anything by The Police that is not there three or four that have been played out by radio, especially the stalker one that needs to go away forever. Copeland is flipping amazing, saw him live with Oysterhead years ago at The Greek in Bezerkeley. This is the best song on n Zenyatta through.

I love the Police. I’m almost glad that Sting climbed up his own ass before they went all REM.
This. My favorite was played by Sloopy this AM, Every Little Thing…, but it is definitely better to go out like that than pull a fade to sadness.
Am not a particular fan but I always liked SC’s self-narrated home movies: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492968
Ohh, never seen that one Tox, and I’m a big Police fan. And ha! Yes indeed Tundra, it was good that they stopped when they did so Sting could go solo and unload his pretentiousness on us without Stewart or Andy being a part of it.
Fun one Tundra, good lyrics. As soon as I thought of the album I remembered this one may even be better. There’s some solid remixes of it out there to boot.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=io3CNOeDfO4
Let’s face it, absent the overplaying I’m not sure they had a bad one.
Pumpkin pie is cooling. The “new fashioned” variant on the Libby’s can made a pint more filling than would fit in my pie pan, so I filled a couple of souffle ramekins with the extra.
Turkey eaten. ☑
Darnit, I haven’t even started my poultry.
Luckily it’s not even a full bird.
Half an hour drive each way and 15 minutes in line. Done.
Traffic was pretty light.
Yeah – audible on the plans; someone turned up sick and wife decided we’d bail on the friends we were going to go to, ended up at Crackerbarrel. Decent food with no muss or fuss.
Well done.
Filets going on later.
Keep an eye out for steak thieves.
I thought Tundra stole the filets.
I TOLD YOU THAT IN CONFIDENCE!
Noted.
.357 at hand.
I think there’s a general opinion among soccer fans here that Ronaldo is an arrogant jerk. But, the man is a machine.
That second half was something.
Punks!
Malice had Lora Logic on the show this week!
Fun interview.
For anyone who likes classical, Here’s Ana Vidovic playing Recuerdos de la Alhambra.
Also, Asturias because why not?
I FLOVE Asturias. I’ve been listening to an angsty Russian all morning.
I like Ana.

My thanksgiving feast is in the hands of the country club, but they haven’t disappointed me on other meals I have had there, so I’m not worried.
And my kitchen is clean!!
Football is the current occupation.
Howdy hayek!
Howdy, Kibbled One!
Pretty fun game so far.
Happy Thanksgiving, HE!
Although this halftime chick is awful.
I concur.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Getting ready to head out to Cracker Barrel to wait a couple of hours for a party of 10.
Enjoy, Mojeaux
Explosive diarrhea, menstruation, & family Thxgiving. Good times.
Oh dear. I carry around pills for all those situations, and would spot you as many as needed.
“spot”
Heh.
Oops.
Sorry.
Ugh.
Sorry, KK.
Well THAT sucks. I’m sorry.
Hawt.
Ooh, sorry. That is bloody awful.
In that case I urge a visit to ER
Happy Thanksgiving!
I went to the gym this morning. I had the Mustang on the road. I got home, ate breakfast, and got a little cleaning done. I called some relatives.
Now, after lunch, I’m parked in front of the computer with a cup of tea with lemon, honey, and bourbon.
Hot Toddy? Hope you are well
Oh yes, I’m feeling just fine.
I was a bit hungover at the gym. I had a late lunch with a former coworker yesterday and then afterwards I hung out at Ye Olde Local Brewpub. I paced myself so that I was fine to drive, but… once I got home, I drank no water. None at all. Yeah. That wasn’t very smart.
🙂
Turkey is spatchcocked. It will go into the oven shortly.
1899 is pretty good. If there’s a season 2, hopefully it’ll be more Mr. Robot than Westworld.
Now to watch that RRR thingy the kids are talking about.
I’ve heard good things about the “RRR” movie. I have not seen it.
It is a good movie.. very Bollywood, but worth the watch. The *Evil* of the British Empire is heavy. but they will always be India’s “Nazi’s”/”Commies”.
Since “Conquered the area” is a shared feature of everyone who controlled the subcontinent, what outside of the events of the Sepoy Mutiny are those evils that are unshared by everyone else? (I will stipulate that the reaction to the mutiny was extreme) In short -what did the British do that the Mughals had not?
Also, This is an honest question. I’m looking for recommendations for audiobooks on the history of india that are not infested by modern politics. It is an area I’m admittly weak on.
Yup.
The first part is very much like a Bruce Lee movie.
I was not expecting Hindi beatboxing.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I spent the morning standing around in 30º while Tres Ver 2.0 did a 5 mile run.
Cause that’s exactly what my Dad would have done.
I now envision you motivating the run by taking potshots with a rifle…
Far too many people. My kid was wearing a maroon long-sleeved shirt emblazoned with the run logo/date.
Trying to pick out a dorky teen in at outfit was useless- they all looked alike.
He didn’t think it was funny tho when, at the finish line, I said “I’ve been looking for you. I thought I saw you but it was some lesbian in a redskins hoodie.”
<3
Cute story- I ran cross country in high school. One year for a league meet I was actually in 1st. Despite being told hundreds of times by the coach “always walk the course”, I screwed off somewhere (likely certain I could follow the guy in front of me).
I took a wrong turn, was really by myself, and there I saw my Dad, standing on a metropark picnic bench, cigarette in hand, yelling.
“TURN AROUND YOU FUCKIN DUMBASS! YOU’RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!”
I looked back, and managed to catch up. Still finished in 3rd.
That there is a proper father.
LOL
You know why the tortoise challenged the hare to race? Not because he thought he could win, but because he knew the hare would fuck it up, because that was the nature of the hare.
Huh, didn’t know your dad was my dad.
Awesome.
Nice!
We did a 5K Turkey Trot a couple times as a family. Super fun!
Oh for fucks’ sake.
Joe Biden just called for the ban of ALL SEMIAUTOMATIC guns.
Yeah, nah. How about you STFU, you senile, ignorant, tyrant?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11466323/Biden-makes-Thanksgiving-attack-sick-sale-semi-automatic-weapons.html
It’s not going to get a hearing in the lame duck session, and wouldn’t last long even if they did.
Don’t underestimate the uniparty reading the mid-terms differently….
Please tell me the headline is “Drunken uncle rants incoherently, again”.

Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers,
Kind of like arming Ukraine, you useless cunt?
Isn’t it nice of Biden to speak messages of unity on this holiday?
Well, he did publish another “how to pwn your republican relatives at Thanksgiving” this year.
Yeah, I saw that. Pathetic.
I prefer the Bee’s version.

Dress the turkey in drag: This turkey died because it couldn’t express itself as a chicken.
Nice.
Turkey experts now say there is no way that it can be a turkey one day and a chicken the next.
Seems to be the theme they are pushing…private industry profits are bad. Probably the scariest push against profits in a while.
Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the
gun manufacturerspharmaceutical companiesSome profits are more equal than others.
No shit.
He’s talking about his kid.
Why did the turkey join a band?
Because he had the drum sticks.

Airbrush much?
😂
Don’t know if it got linked above in the Police discussion.
Probably my fave
Yep. That’s a gem.
Thanks to Pat for starting off the day so well.
Went to our local market yesterday for eggs for the pecan pie. The egg section was empty except for two cartons with fancy full-colored labels touting the eggs as being “cage free” and “vegetarian fed’. And don’t forget non-GMO, and no antibiotics. Not carbon neutral though. There was a photo of Grandma Zelma and Little Zelma which was nice 9five generations of egg farmers). Little even looks like a three-yer-old version of Grandma. I suppose all this should make be feel warm and fuzzy, but…$7.00 for a dozen eggs?
Our normal store eggs are running almost that price. It is insane.
Were they gluten free?
No, these were glutenous eggs.
Glutenous or mutinous?
Gelatinous?
Food at inlaws is in a couple hours. Its a stuffed turkey breast I believe and probably already done…old people amiright? So for now just chillin here, checking zoom if anyone is on.
I like watching this guy cause he is the picture perfect stereotype of a fighter jock. Though he shaved his porn stash that made him look like an actor in Tacoma FD.

I just wish to wish everyone a Merry Thanksgiving.
HAPPY BIRD CONSUPMTION, OR HOWEVERY YOU GORGE YOURSELF STUPID THIS DAY!!!!
Well now I’m annoyed.
20% of the volume of the turkey roast I bought was taken up by some gravy packet. I couldn’t tell it was in there from the outside and I certainly didn’t need or want it. What am I supposed to do with this plastic packet dripping with turkey juices?
It would have been funny had it been giblets.
Well, at least my turkey roast is in the oven.
Demand to see the manager!
“Turkey” prepared for the oven.

Make sure you cut it across the grain.
Need moar seasoning! Nice!
I agree on moar seasoning.
Yummy
As I recall, last years feast here was ribs, because the wife likes ’em.
Italian Thanksgiving, since that branch of Mrs. Patzer’s family will be here. Assorted salami and cheeses for appetizers (my job was to cut the cheese), first course of macaroni with meatball and sausage gravy, then the “turkey” with roasted potatoes and veggies. Followed by coffee and pastries. Spawn will be taking one of our two free turkeys back to school, we’ll probably donate the other one since I am the only one here who actually likes turkey.
A couple of years ago we did a ‘cultural’ Thanksgiving from all our backgrounds. Swedish, Norwegian, English, Irish, Danish, French, American Indian, Mexican, and American food. It was delightful and a good break from just turkey.
I missed this one. Uncounted ballots in NH might swing a state house district to Republicans. NH Ballot Law Commission will decide what to do on the 28th.
I would be okay with voting one day and counting the next. Anything not in the lockbox by midnight day of voting will not be counted.
With only 27 uncounted votes, it will be extremely difficult to overcome the opponent’s 15 vote lead.
One of my favorite YT chefs..

So I have some chicken breasts. A can of Campbell’s cheddar broccoli soup, rice, and mushrooms.
Im trying to put it together in some form of casserole w/o ruining the rice.
(Jugsy & I had Thanksgiving with her family last Sunday)
My mom used to make a similar thing with peas and onions. Probably used Minute Rice, not sure in which order.
I notice your turkey drawing is slightly anatomically different from most. “Hey, little dude, I used to draw you.”
“You have a fine eye for detail and luxury, little lady. Can I interest you in the 2022 model?”
Since we’re having a Police (band) day, an obvious one – Message in a Bottle.
I didn’t check all the links to see if its been done, but this is likely my favorite.
Love that one
As a teen, I remember coming in drunk one night, turning on some random cable station and seeing Stuart Copeland’s The Rhythmatist. He scours africa looking for different beats and films it.
One of my favorite tracks- Koteja (Oh Bolilla)
I dont have an answer why, but I feel like Buffalo should win this game.
You’re clairvoyant.
Both teams gave us a hell of a show.
Fun fact, it turns out my veggie turkey loaf needs to thaw for 24 hours. I did not know that. Looks like I will be barbequeing some veggie burgers.
Huh. I will have to look up veggie turkey loaf.
I remember turkey loaf from my distant yoot, but haven’t had it in decades.
Funny story. My college girlfriend was a vegetarian, not so much by choice, but because she was raised 7DA, and her father was a pastor. So, one year I spent T-day with them, and Patty (her mom) made a nice veggie turkey loaf, and all the family was there to enjoy. I, not being raised a vegetarian, sat and stared at it in horror, and to be polite, attempted to eat some. Lets just say it wasn’t to my taste. In any case, Patty noticed, slipped me a $5, and whispered so as not to let the grandparents hear “go get some McDonalds, you need to eat.”
Bless that woman.
Did I hear “Let’s go Brandon” in that Buffalo game?
If any of them saw his gun-grabbing comments he made during what was supposed to be a Thanksgiving event, then probably yes.
Thank you for giving us a lovely, traditional trumpet rendition of the National Anthem for the Giants/Cowboys game.
Bears the heck out of divas (male or female) trying to make it all about them.
“Beats”, not “Bears”
Sheesh.
