But, did you HAVE to turn THAT end toward the turkey? , I also have an angel for a step-mom. I'm so lucky! Math Is Hard said:
Then again, it was about 5 hours of eating, so I guess that makes more sense than I thought at first (mostly because several of us are serious lightweights when it comes to drinking, so we should be passed out on the floor drinking the equivalent of a bottle of wine each). Integral said:

Yeah, well, you never WERE all that coordinated...Evo said:I got a D, which they tell me is the worst score that can be made without being a total failure.
Hey, it was my first time!
Heck. You'd fall over just picking up your hopscotch marker. Wish WE had saved you a piece! There is ONE piece of Integral's (wifes) pumpkin pie left. Here. You can have it! <stuffs last piece of pumpkin pie into computer> Sorry there's no more cherry/berry pie left. Integral took that one out pretty fast. No whipped creme, either. OOPS! Wait! There IS whipped creme! HERE! ... Errrr... Well, never mind. It's not that easy stuffing whipped creme into a computer... Dang. This is a MESS! Rats. OK. Now we know. Don't send whipped creme to each other via the internet... humanino said:
I tasted pumpkin for the first time yesterday
You are no longer allowed to make fun of people eating snails
At least, I won't forget this pie
Moonbear said:Oh, it's quite simple. Cut a piece off using a knife, then stab that piece with a fork, raise fork to your mouth, use mouth to remove piece from fork, chew thoroughly, swallow. Yummy.
I LOVE escargot!humanino said:

MAJOR yum! And Moonbear is right, humanino. Pumpkin alone is gross. Pumpkin pie is delicious. We'll serve some real pumpkin pie at your wedding! :!) Will you bring me some escargot?Moonbear, that sounds delicious! Just the type of thing I'd like!Moonbear said:
I call them sammiches also.So, who wants leftover turkey sandwiches? Or sammiches, as Tsu calls them.
I told him next year I'll make sure he has some real pumpkin pie. I make it sometimes just for the garlic sauce alone, some french bread to soak it up. Pure heaven! Evo said:I'm with you Tsu, escargot bourguignon, mmmmm.
You're not supposed to eat them straight out of the garden. (wonders where tribdog ate snails)tribdog said:

Thanks. I was inspired by that link to the seaslug forum someone posted recently. I've always thought jellyfish are really cool looking critters, especially the fluorescent ones when maintained under a black light (the aquarium in Baltimore does that, or did last time I was there many years ago).
They are called snail ranches. It's big business. I was going to become a "snailboy" going on round ups, herding them, things like that sounded like fun. I just couldn't get the hang of roping them while I was in the saddle. I could rope them standing still, but as soon as I got on my turtle I couldn't do it. bit of trivia, did you know we branded them with salt? It can be a dangerous job too. I remember the stampede of '02, what a mess.Moonbear said:

I'm not sure, but I think if you salt them first (while still alive) don't they sort of eliminate all sorts of things? (At least they did when we salted them as kids...Evo said:
) Yes! They're WONDERFUL! I also had them in Chicago one time where they served them (not quite sure how they were prepared) in their little escargot 'dish' and they were covered in a wonderful brown gravy with garlic chunks and then baked with a pie crust-type 'lid' over the dish. Oh, dear. I'm drooling. Oh, Lordy - they were incredible! I want some NOW!
I've got lots of cranberry sauce left (and not much else).Great! It seems the group I ate dinner with weren't really cranberry fans...they didn't even try it! There's no way I can eat that much cranberry unless I make it into jelly for my toast every morning (though that would require making bread so I have toastEvo said:
...I never have much bread around here). )...her mom told her to remove the bag of gizzards and then told her to remove the neck, but she didn't realize she had to reach in the other end of the turkey to do that. She was already pretty grossed out by having to stick her hands in the butt of the turkey (not the word she actually used ). She did cook the turkey upside down, which her boyfriend noticed when he went to carve it. But, it turned out pretty juicy, so as long as nobody cared about presentation, it was fine (he wasn't exactly an expert at carving either...it's so cute to watch a young couple make their first attempt at Thanksgiving dinner). Oh, it didn't help that they were cooking at a friend's place, and he's a bachelor, so you can just imagine the kitchen is somewhat like enigma's kitchen. I told her she really should have just called and I'd have brought over extra pots and pans if she needed them. Now, don't be silly! I don't let the guests do the dishes...that's what dishwashers are for!hypatia said:
Well, while the women were drinking wine and chatting in the kitchen, the men started wrestling in the living room, and I commented that the only thing missing was the old uncle sitting in an easy chair with his pants unbuttoned. You can have that job if you want.ZapperZ said:
