We have, for the first time since moving in over six months ago, completely cleaned the house from top to bottom. I found a lot of clothes that I have heald on to kicking and screaming since middle school. Ah memories. Ok so tonight has been baking night #1 for the big day. One lesson learned: Never underestimate your husband's abilities involving marzipan pumpkins.

Though going to this year's Cass County Fair did almost turn me into a vegitarian, I didn't explore the idea for more than the walk from the 4-H barns to the corn dog stand. But in case you are looking for something to make this thanksgiving and you are a veg check out this nice selection of recipes.

OK PEOPLE QUIT HOLDING INFO FROM ME ALREADY!


Never have I heard of stuffing a turkey for thanksgiving with Oyster Stuffing. OYSTERS STUFFED INTO A TURKEY? Is this a new phenomenon to you too?? Because TWO people in the last week have told me about their recipes involving oysters and I work in a town of like 1740 of which I see about 4 on a daily basis. I would say it's a local thing but we're like 728 miles from any fresh oysters.

I can't help point out this Shit on a Shingle recipe from Martha's Kitchen. (...at least that's what my onetime mr. mom dad used to call it when he made it for us)

We're hosting Thanksgiving this year. Its a big deal since we have never cooked a turkey. Yes we've been warned about the removal of the giblets bag. I know we're not supposed to get all fancy with our first Thanksgiving, but I really need to get my hands on this shirt before the big day.
what would martha do?

Adam is the Guest poster tonight his thoughts are as follows:

Oh man, the house is falling apart tonight! First as I'm reorganizing our back room I discover odd little drops of water on objects around my feet, then puddles, then I grab something and it's soaked... and I look up and there is no sign of a leak from the ceiling or around the windows. I even check my pants to be sure I hadn't become suddenly incontinent.

Then as I'm making tomorrow's coffee the wind shatters our porch window and knocks over the iron butterfly chairs. The cats run over there to see what's going on and I have to go out to tie up the shade because it's flapping incessantly on crap in the porch... ugh. Then I come inside and the cats are all freaked out and it freaks me out to see cats freaking out because you know how cats look when they stare at something so I ask her to stop and she doesn't even flinch which freaks me out even more!

Basically just a normal evening.

I'm looking forward to booka visiting this coming weekend... I just wanted to point out this rumor. Is this something that everyone but me heard about? Or is it news to you too?

Mom is doing ok. Still no answers. But she likes the flowers.

Look what came out of mom! Just kidding. Apparently it's not her gallbladder-it could be something wimpier or it could be something worse so pray for my momma. Mom in the hospital day 2. What a bummer.

Wednesday, November 05, 2003

aw mom! Mom went into the hospital because her gallbladder is being a jerk. Oh no! No sick mommy! NO! She might have to get it ripped out shortly. Mom is never ever sick!
At least she gets to be on TV.

guacamole doritos
Ohman. I told Adam I didn't want a second dinner, then he opens up a can of whoopass on me. I mean these. Work has been working me to death lately and I only have one week of vacation for the whole year and it can only be taken on the week between Christmas and New Years. At least I got that going for me. At my last job I had worked up to a whole 3 weeks. Somehow I could never take all those days. I wish they rolled over from job to job :( Only 3 sick days a year too so even if I'm really sick from the Guacamole Doritos, I'm screwed.
