This is from the Daze *before* Smoke Alarms ~
Mom was pretty much a "Scratch Builder" of Holiday Meals -
MANY Hours spent in a not-all-that-fancy kitchen -
and the Microwave was still a wonder of the future...
Pots, pans, mixing bowls, recipie cards, a BIG Turkey...
My Dad badgering for hours :rolleyes: "Is it ready yet?"
Guests are seated, Grace is said, The Burd is carved, plates are passed ...
<munch> <munch> <munch> ...
Mom gets a *puzzled* look - "I think I've forgotten something... ??"
My Dad pipes up "Where's the ROLLS!??"
<sniff> <sniff> <sniff> ???
:eek:
(As the unmistakable odor of BURNT :( Bread drifts into the dining room)
Poor Mom! :(
She always tried to *time* the first batch of rolls to be
"ready" just as everyone was served...
And they were almost always forgotten till it was a tad bit "too late".
But Good Ole Mom always had "extras"! ;)
I really never minded *scorched* rolls - 'nuff butter and
they always tasted just fine to me!!
Happie Thanksgiving, Mom!
I'll bet you were in charge of the Turkey for God's dinner
at The Bridge today...
Sure do *miss* Your Home Cookin!!
/s/ Me
.
What a nice story Phred. Happy Thanksgiving from me too, Mom.
So why did the turkey cross the road?
Because he wasn't chicken!
:rolleyes: :eek: :D
Zippy...sorry I missed your last reply last night...I was making my own dinner but let me just say this
DONE! :D
Oh Phred, only you can make me laugh and cry at the same time...
Why did the chicken cross the road?
He had a punk rocker stapled to his face.. :o :rolleyes: :D
Good morning folks! I guess you are all "stuffed" by now so just roll on in and help yourself to a comfy seat.
I have coffee on as usual along with some fresh croissants and muffins. I guess turkey sandwiches for lunch is out of the question????:eek:
Good morning everyone!
I hope you all had a good time yesterday and are at home relaxing, Not fighting all the crowds at the stores!!!
;)
Slick,
Turkey????
I'll bite!!
Slick, I'm still a little full from yesterday. But coffee and rolls will hit the spot right now!!
Hi, everyone! I feel much better. That Alkaseltzer hit the right spot.
Hot turkey sandwiches for lunch here today. That's Turkey and gravy over mashed potatoes and bread. (and not an onion in sight!) Also some left over cranberry sauce on the side!
:D
I'll fix up some turkey samiches on white bread with mayonaise (NOT Miracle Whip please) with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. YUM, my son likes it with a smooth slide of stuffing (but only MY stuffing :rolleyes: ) on it. Leftovers truly are the best part. I'm fixing my dinner tomorrow so tonight is the prep time. I can't wait! Oh boy, some don't like creamed onions, some don't like cranberries, some don't like sweet taters, this or that but there are so many choices on this table (see how Mario & I put the plywood and a table cloth over the pool-table!) everyone can find at least a few things they enjoy. I truly love you guys and thanks for making me feel my family is around these last few days, and years
Ooohhh Turkey sandwiches - yummy!! Yes I like home made stuffing on mine too!! In fact Don would eat stuffing sandwiches minus the turkey!!!
As the suns over the yard arm here - it's 7.25pm - I think I'll opt for a vodka and cranberry juice.
Lynne
Vodka and cranberry...DONE!
Tea for the Zipster....
DONE!!
Vodka, cranberry and a splash of Orange Juz.. I think it's called a "Windrose". That was the name of my cousins sailboat in the Virgin Islands. OK, don't even go there with the "Virgin Islands" I was there but SOOO WHAT! :o
Vodka, cran and OJ....DONE!Quote:

Oh, the possibilities......:eek:
:eek: :eek: Would someone please tell me why the malls are so crowded on a weekday??? My friend and I went shopping and after two hours said, that's it! No more. The more I think about it the more I'd like to stay in a drunken stupor until January. :rolleyes:
So bartender, fill 'er up. I'm parched.

See.......................... I trust Slick, Richard, MOFF and Laurie.............and although Slick's on fish again (sorry to CARP on about it!!)...........I just need a quiet corner, a bottle of wine and them!!! :D :D :D
Lynne
Hey Lynne....I was wondering if anyone would come by today.
Take a seat in the corner by the fire and I'll join you. Red or white?:)
Hi, Lynne and slick!
Let me grab a cuppa hot chocolate and I'll join you by that fire!
The sun is shinning here but there is a cold wind. I just want to warm my old bones up. :D
White please Slick - I think a Zinfandel would just hit the spot.
Been a hectic day of shopping - so now it's 7.30 and I'm curled up with the cats and computer xxx
Lynne
MOFF
Hot chocolate with mini's
DONE!
Lynne
DONE!
Sorry I was a bit tardy.....I was on the phone with Catmandu....:) :)
Slick - is everything OK with Gary?
Lynne
Slick - just caught up with the exciting news of Gary's NEWBIE in Cat General - yippeeee another cat safe at the Found Hotel. :D :D
Lynne
Sorry, I'm really slow on the draw today. I just had someone come over the drop off an Avon order. Anyway, he truly is a cat angel and just wanted to make sure this little meezer didn't get bought up by someone who wouldn't give him a good home. I'm heading out now for a couple of hours. Check in with you all soon.
Wonder if Gini is coming back today? I'm missing her.:(
I FINALLY had turkey today LOL! Took me long enough. :p :rolleyes:
Someone wanna give me a Jack and Coke?
Hrmm........anyone want smores? Let me know!:D
Hi Cass....
Jack and Coke, DONE!
Why don't you sit down by the fire and rest awhile. I guess you are pretty full after that turkey but there are some snackies on the bar if you are interested.
Smores? Not for me thanks. I was born without a sweet tooth. LOL
Cass, come over to the fire and we'll make 'em!
The smores are a cooking everyone! David, thanks for the help. The fire is very nice tonight. Just where is Mario? I could use a nice monkey hug tonight.
Jack and Coke, thanks! :D
The smores the merrier!
Sorry, I'm not thinking too straight at the moment. My cat, Grandma got out earlier. She used to be an outdoor cat but has been indoor ,for over a year now. One of the outside cats (I feed several strays) was beating up one of the younger ones on the porch. I opened the door to go out when Grandma shot out. Well, she sure broke it up!!! Cleaned the bully's clock good for him, she did. I was so scared I wouldn't be able to get her back but she just stood there like, "Ha! I'll teach him to pick on a youngster."
Needless to say, I'm still shaking. And Grandma? Napping in my bed without a care in the world.
Could I have a shot of cherry vodka? I need to get my heart started again!:eek:

**wink wink** **nudge nudge** ;)
We just noticed a new scratch on our old man Winky, (15) I'm starting to get worried about him going out hes getting cranky and I think deafness is comung. But he will not use a box must go outside. and trying to keep him in is a darn near impossiablity.
I can understand the heart attck too.
How about a nice hot coca Richard its only 27 f here and flaking a little. I still didn't get the lites up ment to aon wed when we were having a heat wave 45 f .
