Alaskan and family are freezing to death no-one wants to fill the wood stove.
Sour is keeping busy with the usual sour stuff. . can't think of specifics at the moment

Byc910 is in and out. He doesn't have enough Wi-Fi to be here long. Seems to be feeling a bit better though.
Room has had a nightmare on elm street ordeal. . she bought a new washing machine that wouldn't get anything clean. . her blankets smelled like Sasquatch and home depot refused to take it back. .
She finally got it exchanged after weeks of torment.
Lisas daughter moved back so she gets to see them now woot! That was Great news. She is also freezing to death.
Chicki still amuses us daily with her stories and her memes she posts. Cracks me up daily. I think she finally had to start wearing socks.

Nicely done!

Miss you! Your ears must have been burning. I was just about to message you on FB to make sure you weren’t on fire again.
Bummer on the chicken front. Hope that all turns out ok.




Glad you took care of that. I’m brain dead.

Yeah... Cali is always odd, but this fire thing is really out of hand. Had a few ugly flashbacks when the one in Paradise broke out.
I think things are improving for me, overall. I'm finally not in pain, which is really so very wonderful! I also have been able to do small amounts of running, which has cheered me immeasurably!

I have ducks out the wazoo lol.
Up to 22 calls I think. .I keep forgetting how many I have. and 6 Cayuga

Whats everybody doing for turkey day??? I'll be at home, with no guests that I know of. I'm looking forward to cold stuffing (the day after) & the pies. Those glorious pies....
Pumpkin
Chocolate Pecan

Peach
Apple

I am doing smallest turkey ever.... a ten pounder... It may fit in the crockpot... we will see. If not I will butterfly it and remove some of the bones then stuff it... then tie it up and roast it on a rack like I usually cook a regular turkey.

Home made Cranberry sauce with Meyer lemon slices....
Candied Yams with crushed pineapple and marsh mellows
Mashed taters skin on with a little Ghee and Cream cheese...
Gravy...
Either fried Okra or green beans... ccant deside

I am not a baker but the pies at sprouts are awesome.... I get the five dollar pies. Usually Pumpkin and apple... and of course whipped cream.

and of course tid bits like bowlS of sweet pickles Sour pickles, Onion Jam, Green onions, Black olives, and Radishes.

Most I can start making this weekend... I want to defrost the turk and check into container sizes... Butterfly it if need be... Bones and bits cut off including the neck will get seasoned and roasted along with some celery carrots and oinion. With a little Ghee.... Then tossed into a pot and boiled till they give off their goodness. Saved for Gravy making...

That reminds me I should make a fresh container of Ghee as well....Then I could do an herb butter for seasoning.
