A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2852....

Amen.

I am heading to town in a few. Shopping and errands for the day ahead.

Yes, as far as I know all the storms headed east..missed us entirely ! So yay !...now if they will just miss us on Saturday as well, remember, Carol wants to go home to the family "Italian Thanksgiving" .

Didn't cough from yesterday evening until 5:30 this morning....but now I am trying to make up for it. Rod is making me coffee and oatmeal...so there is that at least.

Good Morning BTW!

Good morning. Do you also have plans for T day, Carol?

Yes..we will go with Valarie to her DH's Step Father's family celebration. They have to rent a large hall as the family is so big. That will be for lunch. Then When we come home, I will put a few turkey legs in the oven, and tonight I will make a pumpkin pie to go with.

Then on Saturday Val, her fami!y, and Rod & I will go home to have the Dudley Family Thanksgiving. It will be Italian food. I am looking forward to that one in particular.

What are your plans Tina ?

My brother is here in the state from England. Fo we had plans. But Teddy and Jonni still have colds so...

That is wonderful for you..I hope the kids are feeling well enough so you can have some form of a celebration...Hopefully you will have some time with your brother...The thought of him here to see you and yours makes me smile.

Junie I think you"ve given me your cough.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.

Oh gracious, I am so sorry to hear that, Sheri...I should try harder not to share such things,

But, good news, Sheri.. I have a Drs. Appt. For a check up next week. I will be sure to tell you what she says.

Goodnight and sweet dreams to you all.

Sweet dreams all.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you South of me.

I hope everyone feels better soon...and please, no sharing with me

I made it to Walmart yesterday...and I pray I do not have to go again until after Christmas. It was a fiasco in there....that's what I get for going on 'monthly pension day', (which I thought was today not yesterday). Although, it was nice seeing the excitement of the elderly looking at toys. I spent a half hour helping some random lady pick out items 'age wise' for her grands. She was so thankful...it was a nice feeling.

Save me some turkey please.

Happy Thanksgiving from Southern Missouri !

I have 10 inch pumpkin pie in the oven, so the house smells good.

This afternoon, I will put some turkey legs in the oven. Then when most of the meat is gone, Carol will make herself some wonderful turkey soup. I love turkey carcass soup.

Sunny, I will save you some turkey and pie.....if you bring yourself that will be your part.
It would make me very happy to share.

I am watching Harry Potter for the first time. I know I left it quite late but that was my choice. It is very good but too dark and one of the things that put me off it for so long.
Happy T day all.

Well do not feel alone, Tina. I have never read one book, and the only parts of movies that I have seen are ones I have seen in a commercial..or 2........and I am ok with that....

And we have snow! We've had rain yesterday and all night . But it started to snow about an hour ago. Big fat flakes that drew attention for their silence after the clattering rain. Then smaller ones that started to pile up. Now we'rt back to giant ones. I wonder how much we'll get?
It took out my satelite so nothing to do but watch it.

Do you get to see snow often Tina? What does Teddy think of it?

I'm on my way Junie, save me some soup as well

SNOW!!! How wonderful Tina !...but I think I am most happy with the rain ☔...sounds as if there was enough of it to put out the wildfires..well if it was raining where the fires are.

And yes what does Teddy think of it....

I hope it put out all the fires also. There were no talks of fires on the news this morning so I think it's done its job.
We get snow a little almost every year. This one finally melted off of my satellite dish so the TV just came back on. It would be odd if it were still there tomorrow.

I did not realize that you got snow every year. I'm that case, I guess it is ok that this one is melting your snow. And hey, at least your TV works....

Anyone doing any Black Friday sales ???

No black Friday sales for me. Sweet dreams all.

Me either, Tina. Sweet Dreams.

DD has friends who went cross border shopping for Black Friday. I can't imagine driving over 12 hrs to go shopping on a normal day.

Good morning. All I want to do is snuggle under warm blankets today. It is cold here.

I agree with you, Tina....As for right now, I am trying to warm up with my coffee.

I cannot imagine that either, Sunny...but I guess, if I were younger perhaps a road trip with a benefit might be appealing. But fir.niw,...no way.

Snuggling under blankets is a good way to spend a cold day Tina.

Junie, young or not...I never liked to travel or shop so I guess mixing the two together is a double whammy

I am making a large batch of donair meat today. Monday is going to be my 'roll making' day. The cooked meat mixture has to chill for two days to slice well it seems.

How do you cook your donair meat, Sunny? What spices do you use to flavor it?

Tina, this is the recipe...minus the cayenne pepper it calls for:

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/211191/the-original-donair-from-the-east-coast-of-canada/

It is delicious.

I would skip the cayenne too. It is basically a meatloaf. Without the breadcrumbs and eggs I add.

Yup, but it's the sauce that makes it the best.

Good morning. It may get up into the sixties today. That will be nice. It is great to see the sun this morning.

Tina, did the snow put out the fires? I've never seen or read Harry Potter either.

Sunny, do you eat the donair meat as a sandwich?

Junie I didn't develop a cough. It was a passing thing thank goodness. Maybe because Ginger keeps her house 66°. I took my electric blanket and wore one of her jackets the whole time I was there. They are polar bears.

I know of one fire in my area, not close. The one in Santa Barbara. And I have heard no news of it since our rain/snow events. It couldn't have made things worse though.

Sweet dreams all.

I do hope the wet weather took care of some of the danger Tina...it is so sad.

Bestofour, the meat is eaten in a pita bread...I also put it in egg roll covers.

If you need some heat, ya'll need to come here. DH has the wood stove cracking and the thermometer showing 82*F....I am going to die.

Oh, that is too warm, Sunny. Good morning. I'm in no danger of overheating today.

It is 9 pm at night and the stove is still crackling. I am down to a tank top and underwear

Sorry Sheri for the cold at your DD's. Glad you had items to help you be warmer. Glad you did not have a cough..it is really annoying.

Sunny..the donairs sound good. Is your DH getting the stove ready to be banked and coast for the night, or does he just like it warm ??

Tina, I agree with you...that is far too warm..but then they will not be cold in Sunny's house will they ?

I just went to a Christmas parade this evening. It was cold but we all bundled up. Plus, the good news ? The kids got candy !

Did you get to your italian Thanksgiving dinner, Carol? The traffic and weather was good for travel?

Yes, Tina, I got to go to my Italian Thanksgiving. It was nice to be around family.plus my sister is a good cook. So that was nice.

It was supposed to be at least one day of a heavy rain. We!!, It was misting for awhile...but it is not a heavy rain . Same thing on Sunday...and yes ! NO heavy rains. It was wonderful indeed ! It was cool but the absence of a heavy rain was wonderful ! Thanks for asking !

Going to sleep soon sweet dreams !

I'm glad you weren't weather challenged. Sweet dreams all.

Good morning all.
