It's a public holiday here next Tuesday and I have decided to make an extra long weekend so as of right now I am on leave until next Wednesday - yay me! Seeing I have time to spend in the kitchen I think I'll make butter chicken in the Thermomix again as it was such a big hit last time. I might even make some naan as well.

It's quite an annoying day for many members of our tribe. I'm very sorry for everyone who's affected today. KelleeM , that's just ludicrous. You need power. Well, those breadsticks and salad from the Olive Garden aren't the worst punishment in the world. Yummy. cadoodlebug , you are such a kind person. It fries my bacon that anyone would take advantage of you like that. Lemme at 'em! teddyw , were you a Seinfeld watcher? If so, do you remember when Kramer put a garbage disposal in his shower? He was multitasking. That's the first thing I thought of when I read your post. I'm sorry that you're having so many issues w/your kitchen remodel. hop2 , it's going to be an adjustment for all of you. I know that you want this, but that doesn't make it any less of a loss. It's a major life change for all of you. Please just keep reassuring the kids that you're there for them and that they're safe and loved no matter what. Then again, I somehow think that they're older in which case my approach might be a bit juvenile. A house that is peaceful w/o tension is better than 2 parents who don't like eachother very much. Thank you all for wishing dh well. Once again, desertgirl , you brought a smile to my face w/your written word. He's feeling better and I've relapsed. DOH! Tonight he wants waffles. He's making them and I'm going to cheer him on from the sidelines. I have an upcoming procedure and trial for a device that will hopefully help me to be able to tolerate my tube feeds. Wouldn't you know it, the only available date is the Monday of Thanksgiving. It comes w/a 2 day hospitalization while we test it out. My dh's family comes in from all over the country for Thanksgiving in our childhood hometown. Dh is encouraging me to take the date, because it's essential that I get some nutrition, but I don't want to ruin Thanksgiving. Why oh why does the universe think that I always want to be the butt of someone's joke?

cadoodlebug- that stinks they can’t be charged for the inside damage as well. Kelleem- that’s a long time without power Hop- hugs They actually were good tenants and kept the house up pretty well. Since they were in there for so long it is time for a fresh coat of paint. And the carpets were original from 1998 so it's time. If we weren't living locally no telling how long would have passed before we found out about the dogs. DH's biggest concern was for the new hardwood flooring we put in after the dishwasher fire last year.

Well that stinks Thanksgiving isn't as big of a deal here in Canada as it is for those of you in America ... we are more about Christmas I agree with your dh ... your health has to come first!

Hellloooo, my dear dinner ladies! I've missed ya! For anyone dealing with difficulties---I'm praying for you and sending ((( hugs ))). For dinner tonight, I made a chicken pot "pie". The topping isn't actually a crust; it's biscuits from a can---very yummy.

Scrapmaven- I’d take the date and make as many of your dishes the week before. The turkey is no big deal. Or have dinner Saturday. Still thanksgiving weekend.
BTW the sink/disposal issue is self-inflicted

The tribal scribe wishes to speak for the entire tribe to tell you we are on your side all the way. Especially on the way to the hospital that Monday for your procedure, oh brave scrapmaven . Family will understand and would want you to continue on your path to healing and well-being. I shall be responsible for the Excel spreadsheet of foods that the tribe will be sending you to serve your family for Thanksgiving. Screw the rules and regulations about mailing liquids and prepared foods. Or we can just send boxes of Twinkies. Your choice, as you know your family better than we do. Mighty arrows of wisdom must be allowed to enter your front door tonight as you decide what to do. Mr. DH knows best on this subject, and so do you! Buckets of love and medicinal good wishes to you. I am off to figure out Excel spreadsheets. Hmmm...

BTW the sink/disposal issue is self-inflicted Luckily, I don't cook. I bring wine, coffee and a goody for dessert. There is lots of food and tons of dessert, so it's not a big deal if I don't make something. Everyone knows my situation. We don't live in our hometown. Dh's cousin hosts every year. His wife loves that week. She has a houseful of people and she cooks like a madwoman. Thank you for your suggestions, teddyw. Would you believe that I've never made a turkey? My mother always hosted Thanksgiving and after she passed away we started going to my in-laws. I've never had to deal w/it. But it's baking season and I love to make treats for everyone.

They're the most processed crap known to man, aside from the disgusting (pardon me) Twinkie. I miss Ho-Ho's terribly. One day they'll find a cure for my disease and I will be at the grocery store wolfing down Ho-Ho's. You are once again, the world's bestest ever scribe in the history of bestest ever scribes.
