Audacity of Truth
Tuesday open thread
Howdy ya’ll. I’ll add my misc. pre-holiday ramblings to the open thread:
The weather is downright icky here today. This morning it started sleeting around 10ish and then graduated later to freezing rain. And the wind is so strong you feel like it could pick you up and drop you 10 feet away. It feels more like Christmas than fall, with this kind of weather.
On my lunch break I went to the grocery store to go ahead and get what I need to make TGiving desserts tomorrow night – I wanted to avoid the crowds I knew I’d see this evening and tomorrow if I waited until then. On top of having to park too far away and walking in the freezing rain to get into the store, I pick the loudest, most rattling buggy in the whole store to shop with but I was in such a rush that I didn’t take the time to walk back and put it up for another one.
Got back here to the office, and brought the stuff I needed to temporarily keep in the fridge until I go home, including my two Mrs. Smith’s Dutch Apple pies (buy one/get one free deal at the grocery store). I put the bag on my desk and walked away for half a second and heard a thud. Sure enough, the two pies fell onto the floor out of the bag. Hopefully they’re still intact inside the boxes, or the ST family will be having crumbly apple pie as one of their desserts. Wouldn’t be the first time 
Ok – so who here are the cooks at TGiving and who are the helpers? I fall more in the “helper” category as I’ve been told my kitchen skills leave a lot to be desired …

Just follow the directions.
I’m in the helper category even though I have decent skills. I just submit to the bossy dominant types who rear their bossy heads at T-giving and take over and control.
On the rare occassion that there are none of those types around, there is less variety of food and less “presentation”, so I do appreciate those types to some extent!
I know my way around a kitchen reasonably well, so I guess I’m more in the cook category. It really depends where we have T-giving or Xmas dinner. If it’s here, I run the show. Otherwise, I’m fine with doing whatever’s needed.
T-giving is just the start of Eating Season, though. Next comes making all the Christmas cookies – always have to come up with one new recipe or variation a year. Lots of work, but well worth it.
- With ST as a “helper”, I’m not sure I wouldn’t fringe the gobblers pin feathers, just from the “distractions”, but I’m good to go in the kitchen, so I’m sure it would work out.
- Incidently ST, if the pies are sort of more crumbly than normal, spoon portions into custard bowls, garnish with KoolWhip, and Viola!, deep dish apple cobbler! Have to be a little “creative” sometimes.

- Well FOX just did an update on the 6 Muslim “clerics” taken off the plane in Minnissota. Seems they were doing prayers in the waiting are in English, and Arabic, and a lady nearvy got nervous when they said what she interpreted as a few anit-American comments. Later when they boarded, they split up into pairs, trying to sit in unassigned seats, and displying other “questionable” behavior, finally refusingto leave when asked by flight attendents. Intersetingly enough, today a spokesman for CAIR, a thinly desguised Jihadist backed group here in America, co-founded by one of the originators of Hamas, popped right up on cue “demanding” investigations into the denial of rights for the six men. Question is, with that tight a timing, and the actions of the “clerics”, was this whole thing staged. Remember, the Wahhabists want nothing less than to hobble the Airlines/US gov. to set the stage for another 9/11 type attack.
- Cair no doubt, knows what its doing, and the chances its taking. I doubt many on the hard Left realize what they’re setting themselves up for if another attack does indeed occur, and its directly the result of their undermining of law enforcement tools in the WOT.

Last Year at this time I was on TV making my GrandMa’s turkey recipe.
I know my way around a kitchen very well, but usually I go to my Sister’s house and hang with her family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She makes a traditional turkey which is so ho hum, but at least I don’t have do to the clean up. My GrandMa’s turkey now that is a masterpiece to be marveled at. Basically you take apple pie filling and you put over the turkey and bake it. YUM!!! I have never seen leftovers last more than a day. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. The smells emminating from the kitchen, the family get togethers. Ohhhh what fun!!!! I have been listening to Chirstmas songs for a month. I love that Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Also this Highland Christmas CD I have is wonderful to listen too.
Also Bang, I am still fantazing about our Dear Hostess saying get busy ya’ll. Ohhhh la la. I would be in heaven watching Sis working in my kitchen. OMG Heaven!!!!! I could see myself sitting at the breakfast bar and watching her move about and do things, big smile on her face. Football on the TV behind me, turkey being cooked along with pumpkin pie and sweet potatos. Me watching, my eyeballs about to pop outta my head.
Ok maybe alittle to graphic. – Lorica
Oil the roasting pan and start the turkey roasting breast down! That way the juices run down into the breasts. Thus … juicy turkey!
And thanks for shopping at WalMart, if you dare…
I hate shopping at Wal-Mart during the Christmas Season. I compare it to walking to the 5th ring of hell in Dante’s inferno. – Lorica
It was perfect weather here in Raleigh. Windy, chilly, rainy. Well, perfect when one is stuck inside working
