I will make a roast this year. Prolly for Xmas. To be determined . . . .

I'm not cooking for Thanksgiving. I will make a roast for Christmas. Then ham and black eyed peas (the legumes, not the band!) for New Year's Day.

By taking all that shit down on the vernal equinox . . . .

It will all (mostly) be down by then. I think!

Very rude and ignorant people cannot be tolerated. Anyone who knows anything about dogs knows to ask first and read their body language.

IKR? Although, I could do better. It's hard to see her vest when she's hunkered down in the pouch. I should get a "service dog" patch and sew it on her pouch.

I know the owners of this restaurant. A long time ago (30 +years) I met him and he said they cooked turkeys every day, first thing in the morning around 3 am!

It must smell AMAZING in there!

Replace "Pesky" with any of the stock standard four letter words, and you're getting closer!

I usually use a 7 letter word...

F*****g clouds!

 

[Lilianna23]

I dunno abt that. You seem plenty wise!

 

[Lilianna23]

You are not failing!

But if you find it being detrimental to things, just pick a page to start to catch up on and start there. Don’t feel the pressure or need to check every single post.

I tried that! But here I am. Nearly caught up!

 

[Lilianna23]

None of that is putting decorations up lol

But, but, but.....!

The decorations make everything more festive!

And here I thought it was the Cuteness Factor

Herbal Tea? Okay - but I still need to look up each and every ingredient because "It's Natural" can kill you just as fast as "It's all Chemicals"
Organ Meat? Nope.
That's it - just N-O-P-E

Herbal tea blend

• What it is: A medicinal tea blend made from herbs rather than the meat of a lamb's heart.
• Ingredients: These blends often contain ingredients like hawthorn leaf and flower, lemon balm, nettle, passion flower, and hibiscus, which are thought to support heart health.
• Purpose: To support emotional and physical well-being, particularly cardiovascular health.
• Preparation: Typically prepared by steeping one or more teaspoons of the dried herb mixture in hot water for 5–20 minutes.

Lambs heart meat

• What it is: The organ meat from a lamb.
• Nutritional content: A good source of protein, riboflavin, vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and iron.
• Considerations: Lamb heart is high in cholesterol and saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially by those with high cholesterol or heart disease.
• Preparation: Can be braised for a longer, slower cooking time to become more tender.

I'm with you. Yes to tea. No, no, and hell no to organ meats!

let me just...

and I don't know what it is about this one, but every time I see it, I have to watch it over and over

Laughter is so contagious!

On that note... it's time for me to say goodnight, spoonies

Sleep well, Likes!

Well, well, well! I finally caught up!

I've had a few busy days lately. My trainer canceled on me today so I did errands then came home to do chores and such. I got my exercise by lifting the outside lights boxes out of their rack in the storage room and carrying them to the garage for testing. I found a few strands that didn't light up. Also found some boxes of new, unused strands.

Tomorrow, my friend and her husband are coming here to help me put up the outside lights. My husband always put them up the week of Thanksgiving to turn them on that night. He had a friendly rivalry going with our friends across the street. I'm attempting to continue the tradition.

I also just about finished repairing a tree with lights and presents that hangs on the wall. I've had it for a long time. It needed a bit of TLC. It looks pretty good now. I'm almost done with it. I'll post a pic when it's done.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll be lighting then baking for Thanksgiving. ️

I thought you ate all your food without dressing!

Haha!!

Just when I thought you’d have something to say about “tossing the salad.”

A friend is retiring next month with 50 years and 1 day with the same company. He is their longest term employee who joined right out of Uni.....

Wow! Thats amazing!

Yuk! I think I’ll take a pass too!

Is she wanting to edge you out of your job?

You said she is trying to edge you…

There are discussion threads on Lit for all manner of perversions and I am very much in the 'live and let live' camp. But this particular peccadillo is beyond the pale for me. These fruity fantasists need to be weeded out and suitably punished as a warning to the younger generation of the dangers of excessive freedom of choice!

Much more eloquently stated than my response!

I totally laugh like the second vid. So do my sisters. And when we’re all get together… it’s usually mayhem!

Let's go! Want to do a river cruise?

I do! Pick me! Pick me!

I’ve been talking about this for ages and it’s a bucket list thing.

I’d like to do a rhine AND a Danube cruise. Both at once. Of course I’d probably be sick and tired of both at once.

But I really need to do one of those.

I just joined Fifteen Beans and The Legumes.

It's why newborns wear knit caps!

Wats wear knit caps/hats come wintertime, too. And gloves. And the occasional knit scarf.

It does and such an amazing place. He has a senior menu and one with old fashion sandwiches like, roast turkey, beef or meatloaf. They are like the way my Army cook Dad made.
