Thanksgiving ONT
Greetings and happy Thanksgiving! Tonight's ONT will be brief, but I have a few links for those of you who are fighting through a tryptophan-induced stupor in order to post here. Hope everyone had a wonderful day, filled with something like this:
Or was it? Here are The Most Popular Thanksgiving Foods in All 50 States, Mapped.
Some of these are as to be expected, but some are not. Maryland having crab cakes isn't shocking, but what's wrong with you, Texas? Chicken spaghetti? Really? I've never even heard of chicken spaghetti. I think even a turkey lollipop would be more traditional:Of course, there's more to Thanksgiving dinner than turkey.
Rolls? Cool. Mac & Cheese? Doable. Salad though? Don't you westerners know anything?
Of course, that's a traditional meal. Some people, however... What I learned when I tried to make a gluten-free, vegetarian, kosher, no soy, vegan, organic, low acid, no dairy … Honestly, I'll make a reasonable effort to accommodate anyone, but if your dietary restrictions are that esoteric, bring your own food. Well, enough about the meal. How about The Origin of 7 Thanksgiving Traditions? Of course, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks, and I'm thankful for all of you Morons who allow me to natter aimlessly at you twice a week. What are you thankful for? I think we can all be thankful that our Fore Fathers had the wisdom and foresight to design for us a system of government that would ensure that we remained free.
One of my all time favorite commercials and my ALL TIME favorite cause.

Evening all. The feast is done and the kitchen cleaned. The wife and one of my sisters went out for a drink ( they have been friends since high school). The rest of the family and guests are upstairs or in the guest house. My brother is going to come back for a few beers after his wife goes to sleep, because he wears the skirt in that family.
Quiet has descended on the house again.

Actually, no, FiveThirtyEight hedged much more aggressively on Hillary's chances than anyone else -- roughly 70/30 -- and Nate Silver got roasted on Twitter a few weeks before the election 'cause he said, in so many words, "Trump won't win, but he could win, so you guys might wanna lay off the Flavor Aid until the election's over."

Note that he is introduced by Pete Seeger. At the time Dylan was famous as a "protest singer". This was where he left all that behind and struck out on his own.
All the folk music commies were like, "WTF is this shit? He's supposed to be singing protest songs!"
This was where Dylan basically told the folk music commies to go pound sand. This was a year before he "went electric".

Yes, I do. The law is the law, actions are actions. Who you are shouldn't matter. Ever.
If you think it's worse for one person to do it than another, then
write a different law to cover that. So if a cop beats you up, he's
guilty of assault, and if such a law exists, he's also guilty of
misusing his power.
But your assault is the same whether I do it or he does it.
And now, with that, I'm out. So please don't fret too much over this. We're probably arguing semantics as much as anything.
Posted by: BurtTC at November 23, 2017 04:05 PM (Pz4pT)
No, it absolutely is not the same thing. If I assault you - you can fight back to protect yourself. If a police officer assaults you - in most states - you are legally prohibited from fighting to protect yourself; even curling up into a ball will get you a "resisting arrest" charge tacked on.

I have something like that as one of my go to recipes for turkey leftovers. Mine is a cream sauce with parmesan cheese and garlic in it. Any pasta works.

I second your thoughts. I only had two children and wish I had more. Especially after son #2 died. As bad as that feels for me, I feel it is worse for my son who will eventually be left with no one who really knows what his life was like and how/why he is what he is.

Posted by: JoeF.
And the LA Times is in a state that seems to go out of its way to make housing unaffordable.
A short time ago I had a conversation with my SIL about her best friends married daughter. This is a couple, fully employed who had to share an apartment in San Francisco because they couldn't afford rent on their own. So in order to live without roommates, they moved to a sketchy area in Oakland, which, of course, means less housing for low income people.

I used to like Miracle Whip. Put it on all sammiches. Lost my taste for it over the years. Now I would just put mayo and mustard on both.

I gotta respectfully disagree here. The earlier argument was, by holding the office, one has some additional exposure to the law, because, you should know better. Not committing an act in the line of duty.
In other words, the on duty cop exposes himself to greater punishment because he is acting under the authority of his position. The off duty cop should not be charged more heavily than the civilian, just because he should know better.
The earlier argument that was made was, there is no need to read a judge his rights, he knows his rights. But just as ignorance of the law is no excuse, knowledge of the law should should not bear any additional exposure. We should be equal under the law, and the judge, committing a crime which has nothing to do with his office, should face the same punishment as anyone else.
I'm sure you disagree. Have as much or little fun as you like batting this around. I'm done, off to bed, so questions might as well be rhetorical.

That's Joan Baez' 00 Parlor guitar he's playing there iirc. Tuned down a half step, capo on three.
One theory somebody put out - not me - is Bob was fixin' to get drafted. Some sort of deal was worked out, however that stuff gets arranged, but he had to agree to lay off all the protest stuff. If true, he more or less kept his end of the bargain. Supposed "clues": "I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more", for example, would be a play on the fact he had earlier sang with civil rights pioneers at McGee's farm, etc. Hm.

And as a born and raised Texan, the only time I heard about chicken spaghetti was at an annual fundraiser our school had-chicken spaghetti dinner for parents and alums, the night before the homecoming game. I've never heard of it as a Thanksgiving meal preference.

That's always a difficult proposition. Theoretically I have no issue with using force, up to and including deadly force, to resist unlawful violence from law enforcement. From a practical perspective, you can be almost certain that either a) you'll end up dead or in the hospital, or b) you'll go to prison if you survive the encounter. It's unusual for people to come out of that without charges, although it has happened a couple of times with no-knock unannounced Gestapo raids by SWAT.

I'd agree with that, he didn't want to get pegged or put into a box or whatever. There's a good interview and tunes by an early interview with Studs Terkal on YT, if you haven't heard it check it out. About 50 minutes. As one commenter said, it might have been the last interview where he did what the interviewer wanted. He plays several of his early songs. But he BS's a lot.

Then spent another hour or so after I was supposed to clock out pulling empty features to the back while trying not to crush the Shopping Reavers, then helping breaking the features down, and crushing the cardboard. And when I thought I could leave, turns out everyone in sporting goods went to lunch at same time so back on a register for me to make a few more sales.
So the tub seems a very good idea plus got a blister on a toe. And I have to be back at work tomorrow. *ugh*

Lets see today had two people in search of pots for their propane deep fryers because they failed to check them so only today found leaks in the pots. Or the person who was looking for the burner.
Luckily for $40 Wal-Mart had a brand new all included, well save the propane, deep fryer deal. Sold quite a few of them, afraid to read tomorrow's paper to find out how many houses burned down because of these dyers were operated by idiots.
And luckily still the store did not explode this morning. Guy wanted a propane tank. So open cage to pull one tank out. Then I notice his wife is about a foot away puffing on her cancer stick. I kindly asked her to please move since.

Cfo mom, sorry to hear of the loss of your precious son and the impact on your other boy. Of all the things I pray for, my prayers for the contentment of my children are my most fervent. They have been through so much through no fault of their own.
A blessed Thanksgiving Day to all of us.

Then I notice his wife is about a foot away puffing on her cancer stick.
I kindly asked her to please move since.

No kidding. From our hilltop we can see a county road and a state highway, and 5 minutes will not go by without a semi of some sort going by; milk tankers are particularly noticeable for running any time, any and every day.

A Milwaukee woman trying to get a head-start on the Christmas shopping season paid $100 for a box of potatoes which she thought was an iPhone.
The scam was perpetrated by a man driving around her neighborhood in a black truck with balloons and a sign taped to it which read: "Black Friday sale."

When we had the circular "what do you give thanks for" thing, I did the usual "for family", then added "For the AOSHQ, because it's extended family."
Sister asked was that where I'd asked for prayers, and when I said yes, got thanks from her and the other sister.
Both are libs, but with only the three of us blood-related left, and two husbands ... we don't let that divide us. Politics in family gatherings are strictly taboo.

He wanted me to spend the night tonight when I took him home, but I have other obligations in the am. Will spend afternoon with him and spend night tomorrow and make tacos per his request. Moving in with him may be sooner than I planned. It will not be easy.

I have a thanksgiving to report. My stepdaughter went on the prayer list last year because her dad and I got uninvited for Thanksgiving after the election. It seemed to bring out some disappointments in our family relationships.
Anyway, this year, not only were we invited for Thanksgiving, but my stepdaughter called me a few weeks ago for some spiritual support. She is feeling the call to renew her relationship with Christ and trust God more deeply. She is in academia, which generally doesn't foster the kind of humility for true faith.
It was very humbling that she trusts me enough to share her questions, doubts, and fears.
Anyway, things are going in a better direction and I hope she follows through in her spiritual growth.
I want to express my very deepest thanks to the Horde for caring about my concerns and supporting me and my family in your prayers, and I wanted you to know that God has heard you and answered.
May you receive His richest blessing in your lives.

I am kind of wondering if the secret to Mammaw's insanely good giblet gravy wasn't MSG. We have been trying to replicate it for years and I keep trying to remember how she made it and she almost always used a small brown bottle of something (does kitchen bouquet have MSG in it?) The richness/intensity of the flavor seems to be the missing link.

Well, goodness they should be; gravy is what ties the whole dinner together!
Milady and Daughter were adjusting and readjusting the gravy today. Flour didn't get cooked enough, needed more water, something like that. Whatever they did, it came out great. Whew!

Whatever. I mighta got the story wrong. This is why I'm not on gravy duty.
It worked with the turkey. And the dressing. And the mashed potatoes. And the rolls. Didn't try it on pie.
Rolls - instead of cornbread. The chart above clearly shows, we should have had cornbread here in NE OK, but, son had been given a big tray of rolls from work, so, rolls.

Guy even asked them to take the GoFund me page down b/c he felt it was too much money. But people still wanted to give money. So it went back up. 11 updates track the story.
So now, get this, he wants to donate to organizations that need help or have been overlooked.
The 2 people doing all this are not gonna dump the money on him, but guide him. He wants to work at Amazon. Amazon has reached out.
They posted pics of him when he was in the Marines. He was also a paramedic. But when he got back from the war his marriage didn't survive.
Anyway, it's just such an uplifting story, and I cry at those...yea, well..shut up. Don't much cry for self, but these ones get me.

========
I've advocated against bullying and abuse of turkeys all my life. I've no recollection of the event in question, although I cannot tell you how sorry I am that my actions were interpreted by the turkey to be demeaning and abusive, and for that I feel truly ashamed. I will make it a point to reflect upon my life and try to do better. I think turkeys always ought to be believed when they make such claims, otherwise we risk silencing their voices.

She also says, "We need to hear...more people like Al Franken...he's handling this with ... dignity and respect..."
And most hilariously, "You are in for a world of disappointment over the next few weeks if you thought that predatory dudes could be identified by their stated politics."
Of course she actually CAN if she's running with the safe money odds.
Flipped around the dial after dinner and two local stations were updating us on a much needed update of the allegations against Moore. Keep us informed.

Good and bad. I hope it doesn't turn out too long. I know for new screenwriters, readers don't want to see anything over 100 pages.

Followed the oral recipe to the letter. One tablespoon of flour to one tablespoon of turkey grease. Stir into nicely browned roux, dump in chopped up cooked gizzard and liquid gizzard was simmered in, followed by small additions of water until appropriate consistency. Also included all fond from bottom of pan to add flavor and color. Some salt and pepper. We think we burned the roux.
Oldest son worked for a while in a Cajun-style restaurant. Claims he had to make really dark roux because it turned much paler when actually used for cooking. I was off in living room teaching youngest grandson the chorus to The Witchdoctor song while daughter screamed at me that the smoke alarms were going to go off at any moment. I assumed oldest son was smart enough and experienced enough to know when to add the giblets and broth. My bad. But it was really important that youngest grandson learn the chorus from the Witchdoctor song. It's a major component of American culture!
At Christmas, we will not make the roux so dark -- if we are allowed anywhere near the kitchen. Youngest son, who has watched entirely too much Elton Brown, says he's going to do it. Hell, we won't even let him make the green bean casserole or the mashed potatoes.

Same here. Born in TX, raised here as much as an Army brat could be, and I never heard of "chicken spaghetti" until today.
In my house, if we don't have turkey for Thanksgiving, it's prime rib. In which case we have turkey for Christmas. And I am the only one in the family who eats rice as a side...but then, I'm the only one in the family that eats rice at all.
