JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD # 6

[Missiontoconvict]

  Hi Monkeys - am I late for the reunion?  I hope not - I made some candy corn, licorice nip, M&M, and dry roasted peanut mix.  I am drinking a glass of wine and glad to be warm and comfy. 

Did your snow stop? I am sitting here drinking hot toddy's, salt water (I gargle if I remember) Hot Tea, and ML. They always say drink a lot of fluids if you are sick. 

I was just going to ask you how you were feeling?  You crack me up with your fluid push - with that mixture you may just kill that bug  I really do hope you get to feeling better Fanny - you must lay low.  It just started to flurry a bit ago - it didnt snow this afternoon but it is gosh darn cold out.  I started to clean a few things up in the garden but I had to get the camper cleaned and emptied so the man could winterize it - I'm beat!

So HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY CANADIAN FRIENDS

TYSM . I love that video.  I was very close to my in-laws who have both passed.  They had kids very late in life so lived into their late 80's and 90's.   My FIL was a aviator in WWII.  He  was a pilot first then became the guy that would send the planes into battle.  He said that was the worst for him as he was sending his best friends and when they did not come back battled much guilt.  We have all his medals, pilot year book from his class and other odds that he saved and passed down to our youngest who was named after him.

When we were going through my MIL's items there was a box of items from her parents.  Her father served in WW1 in the artillery. In an envelope we found a hand written note on buckingham palace stationery from King George thanking him for his bravery and sacrifice and wishing him a speedy recovery.  I have spent years trying to figure out what his injury was and what he did in the war to get a hand written note from King George but have not found out yet.  Someday I will.   I do know that after the war he was in a hospital in England.

[Northern Rose]

Northern Rose you are incredible - what a fantastic menu you are serving - now I am freaking starved and I have cheaters stroganoff waiting to be served when husband gets in the house - I would much rather have the cabbage rolls and the twice baked spuds oh and the cheesecake omg that sounds wonderful.  I love cheesecake.  I hope you get some rest tonight so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor tomorrow.

I am on a  break and plan to go to bed early.  My mom used to cook the most incredible holiday meals so I guess I am trying not to disappoint her as I know if she still could do all the work she would.  She turns 70 on the 15th.  I also like all the leftovers!

  Hi Monkeys - am I late for the reunion?  I hope not - I made some candy corn, licorice nip, M&M, and dry roasted peanut mix.  I am drinking a glass of wine and glad to be warm and comfy. 

Did your snow stop? I am sitting here drinking hot toddy's, salt water (I gargle if I remember) Hot Tea, and ML. They always say drink a lot of fluids if you are sick. 

I was just going to ask you how you were feeling?  You crack me up with your fluid push - with that mixture you may just kill that bug  I really do hope you get to feeling better Fanny - you must lay low.  It just started to flurry a bit ago - it didnt snow this afternoon but it is gosh darn cold out.  I started to clean a few things up in the garden but I had to get the camper cleaned and emptied so the man could winterize it - I'm beat!

Actually, I'm feeling quite crappy, but I wouldn't miss this Saturday night with JSM for the world. At least I haven't had to take any pain meds today, because I have done absolutely nothing to challenge my back all day.

Nothing quite like leftovers after Thanksgiving, as long as they don't linger too long. I'm not big on Turkey, but can eat it once a year. My Mama would cook every turkey recipe known to mankind with the leftover turkey, and then make soup with the bones. One of my kids asked her one time if she was making bone soup! 

Those were touching stories about your inlaws, and their relative. 

[joesamas mama]

Daughter won and she had a friend over.  Got my grocery trip from hell finished.  All the checkouts were open and we were still lined up 6 deep into the isles waiting for a teller.  Some genius took all the cranberry sauce and jelly and took it out of the isle and onto an end display right by the tills.  So you think I could get one with everyone waiting to cash out?  Thank goodness I was there for only a few things but at that I did not get everything I wanted like whipcream or cranberries of any kind.  I am sending hubby tomorrow morning to another grocery store at 7am to pick up hat I could not get. 

I am taking it pretty easy cooking tomorrow as we have to eat early to fit everyones schedule so most of my stuff either sits in the oven all day or is a very simple and quick.  Turkey with sausage, cornbread and leek stuffing, lamb, twice baked potatoes and mashed, cabbage rolls, greenbeans, cauliflower and cheese, cornbread and fresh buns and of course gravy. 

For dessert I made a cheesecake, applecrumble and pumpkin pie today.

I hate going to the grocery store, especially around the holidays. That's why I dont' go, but I did today. 

OMG, can you please come to Texas for Thanksgiving so I can have cabbage rolls? PLLEEEAAASSSEEEE!!!!! I love cabbage rolls!! I think that is what I am going to ask my mom to cook for my birthday.      NEVERMIND... she won't be here on my birthday.  She is taking my nephew to England over my birthday week.

I would rather have cabbage rolls over cake anytime. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL THE CANADIAN MONKEYS. I was hoping to see my Canadian neighbor to wish him a happy one, but I haven't seen him. He must have a hockey game tonight.

If I knew they would make it through the border I would overnight you a casserole full of my cabbage rolls.  Mine are half meat half rice with bacon, onions and lots of homemade tomatoes sauce and garden herbs  that they cook in.

Oh it sounds wonderful and your cabbage rolls sound just like my Grandmother made when I was a kid. I didn't like them when I was little, but grew to LOVE them when I got older.

So this is our pajama party. You know what that means...we gossip.

so I was at KMart today (scored a great pink/white/tan quilt and sheets on clearance) as I was leaving, I saw a LARGE woman in front of me. She was like 3 of me, and I'm not tiny (but am getting there!) Anyway, as I saw her attire, I wondered if NASCAR knows that people are ripping off their checkered flags and making clothes out of them.

She was wearing a long skirt, looked to be made out of T-shirt fabric. And for pockets, back pockets, mind you, she had two checkered flags stitched on her overly large, extra extra large behind!
I wish I would have taken a pic, but there's not a website for bad fashion at KMart.

This also reinforces my MIL advice...keep the back pockets to a minimum, they DO make your azz look big!

I never get tired of seeing that precious little thing! 

He is adorable Fanny. I wish I could just pinch his little cheeks and love when he gives the thumbs up. Great kid he is.

That is so sweet - I know what you mean - I cook Thanksgiving every year and have my dad and Grama - she is 85 I feel the same as you I want to do for her what she did for us for many many years and her meals were always wonderful.  Every year she tells me how good everything is and it makes me feel so happy.

You are so welcome for the video. I love that little boy saluting the Canadians. Canadians in WWII are the forgotten heroes. When we went to Normandy, I didn't realize how many Canadians had perished until we went to a Canadian cemetary. I can't imagine what you FIL went through sending planes out and them not coming back.

I hope you find out about your MIL's father and his service. I will say one thing about the UK, they keep great records from WWI, WWII and the ones before.

Rose, I wanna hire you to be my cook! You never make just a plain jane meal, you always make me hungry. Only problem is, I do not have the "ooomph" to make most of your fabulous recipes! Maybe you could mail me stuff? Let's start with the cheesecake...I hear that's good for bewb cancer...uh...yeah, I'm sure I heard that!!

OMG checkered flags for pockets? That is so dang funny Tevye.  I wish we had a KMart. I love K Mart. I miss K Mart. I would have to drive to Abilene to get to a K Mart.
