Time to take the duck out of the oven. This year I followed the directions on the package instead of setting off the smoke alarm.

Just pulled out our bird, the taters are mashed, the peanut butter pie is done, the homemade apple pie (and crust from scratch, too!) is done, the sides are coming off the stove and out of the oven. The table is being set by the kids, and the wine is cold.

Let's eat!

I'm just killing time waiting for relatives from OH to get here. Wifey is just putting turkey in oven, but snacks are on the table, and wine and beer is chilling.

My daughter in Scotland is out with other US students having there own dinner, each brought a dish, and oldest son is on Dorm Duty in MO.

Peanut butter pie?? How does one make that?

We've barely started here in the Pacific Time zone. Just getting ready to put the bird in the oven.

Only the 3 of us this year, so it's not as much food as last year -- turkey, taters, yams, stuffing, cheese cake. Still probably enough to immobilize us by 6pm. Gorgeous weather here, tho. 60 degrees, sunny, very clear.

I'm just getting started. I made a pecan pie this morning, and the bird has been in for an hour. But, I need to get cracking* on the sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, and garden salad.

* Actually, like a good manufacturing guy, I have the whole thing scheduled out in 15 minute increments.

I'm done. The stuffing and mincemeat pie was fantastic. And the pecan pie. Not a big fan of other Thanksgiving food.

Now I'm waiting for the bar down the street to open at 6 so I can have Liquid Thanksgiving.

And a Merry Thankmas to one and all.....

Isn't this the day we give thanks for what we are grateful for?

In that case I'd like to thank Arden's and Carlson's mums. The pony show they did was inspiring. Carlson, you trained those horses good!

Mes enfants, je t'adore! N'oubliez pas incliner votre serveuse, je suis ici toute la semaine, essayez le veau!

Au revoir!

Anyone know anything about Valerian? I haven't been able to do my usual really hard training in about 3-4 months (long, boring story) and combined with my love of coffee, cigs, and booze, my health has really taken a hit. My nervous system's gotten a little weird and my hands slightly shaky and my heart rate's gone from a resting heart rate of 60 bpm 3 months ago to about 80 now and occasionally it shoots up to like 100. So obviously I'm looking around for mild sedatives/tranquilizers and I heard about Valerian root. The other day I was headed to work to tutor some high schoolers after school, and I stopped into the nearby drugstore and got some Valerian Root pills. I took a handful, and over the next hour it seemed like my heart rate went down maybe 5-10 bpm. I'm not sure it was working or it was psychosomatic. I got home and the NIH said studies are inconclusive, with maybe some very mild effect. Anybody know more about this root?

That's terrifying.

I mean it sounds delicious, but that's 6 month's worth of calories and fat in 20 minutes.

Nevertheless, I want some.

It rocketh. My late mother in law taught me to make it, and yeah, it's weapons-grade rich.

The apple pie was better, though. I outdid myself with this one.

Is it appropriate to serve white wine (Pinot Grigio) at room temperature when said temperature is 60F?

a half-japanese girl I know got me a few random things for xmas, and this was among them:

I sauteed an onion and 3 diced chicken thighs and then mixed this in.

It wasn't bad. Nothing to write home about, but nothing special.

Hey, some of those packaged stir-fry stuffs, frozen buns, and jazzed-up ramen recipes you find in small Asian stores are pretty good. Cheaper, too.

I am drinking sherry.

Just put a stuffed turkey in the oven. No turkey for Thanksgiving - that's for Indian food and hummus and gyros. And scotch. (Rev. Barky and I go to my mom's for breakfast, and he says to all assembled, "I think I have a hangover." They laughed.)

For the employee holiday party

I have entered the chili contest and am thinking of combining a modified recipe for ratatouille with curry, chick peas, lentils, kidney beans and gyros meat. �

Carry on.

Should New Year's dinner be shrimp or gizzards?

Somebody (investors, stockbrokers/real estate brokers �?) ran a car into one of the state owned liquor stores in Oslo the night before New Years eve and got away with the store�s supply of the best quality magnum champagne bottles � priced at up to 27000 NOK ($3500)/bottle.

Sk�l!

I suppose they are addicted to the stuff, gotta have it, job or no job�

Gonna try my luck with hoppin' john today, as it's a very New Years Day thing to make. Used to make dishes like it a lot during my Starving Grad Student days in the late 80's/early 90's.

My Hoppin' John is going to be ready in about 5 minutes. I used a Paul Prudhomme recipe, although I substituted a ham steak for the smoked sausage and am cooking my rice separately rather than in with the peas and such.

Eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is supposed to bring good luck for the year. �At least that is the case down south. �I figured the tradition out there in California (some of these buildings are over twenty years old!) would be something like dried seaweed or home made granola.
