Our best friends down the road got carry out from Bob's. Not their big turkey dinner deal...just their regular turkey dinner off the menu for seniors...turkey, dressing, and mashed potatoes I think. Thought they just wanted to cut down this year. So....she spent the last two days baking 2 or 3 pies and 3 or 4 sides. Go figure? Just throw a turkey in the oven if you're already going to that much trouble.
Haha, yeah can imagine that. Youngins don’t even know what that means.
I wish I could acquire a taste for goose. They have some really nice guided hunts over on the Chesapeake not that far from me to hunt Canadian Geese. I’ve always thought it’d be fun but never liked to hunt anything I didn’t intend to eat.
Unfortunately your taste for goose would not have changed at our house. C-minus grade. The last (and first) goose we cooked was excellent. This one, meh. Tried to cook it like a Chinese crispy duck. Beard House recipe. Big time fail. Live and learn.
I'm just a few weeks into the 60's club, now I can relate.
That sounds just like my mom's recipe that I make for Christmas. Only make it once a year even tho' the Mrs would like to have it monthly. Once in a while it doesn't 'set up' just right and gets a bit runny....but it's still good.
You talking about toilets reminded me of something I hadn't thought of in a while. I used to visit some of the pavions (like a night club) in Izmir Turkey many years ago when I was young. Izmir is/was a major city. There was no toilet paper available in the restrooms. Maybe some of the high class places had it, but the places on the water front did not. They told us it was an insult to offer your left hand for a handshake, so I always figured they used their left hand to wipe. I am 100% serious.Ate some serious duck in Korea.... Ate it several times then lost my taste for it... Oh well...
BUT, Korea had the BEST toilets in the world...
That was my favorite in our apartment... the dude was super-charged...
Oh, may God guide you in your walk today. May peace find you... God Bless you all...
Oh, also two young people I had the pleasure of knowing in Korea, my wife's nieces children. We hit it off... they were a real joy to be around...
That was in our apartment as well. They came for a visit...
Good Morning D-Legionnaires!
Hope all are feeling well this morning. Food was good yesterday and I saw a thread where we were ask to grade the meal. I gave my wife's meal an A- and told her when she ask what I was doing on the computer. Her mother, brother, and my daughter said I was too harsh. My wife said after that: "Cracker Barrel will be open on Christmas" My daughter said "No mom, it was an A+, dad is just a grumpy old man. Just keep on making it like you do."
On the subject of Duck and Goose I have never eaten any of the two.
I love John Wayne and guess what. I was born in July.My motto:
Yes I own this shirt and was born in July. (A prized possession.)
I am anxious to see how Thanksgiving went down in the Wild West this year. Mercy. I imagine Starchief was ready.
I spent a lot of time in the Middle East and elsewhere in the Muslim world in the 1990s, some of it outside big cities in places where there were no western business hotels. The “toilet” in typical places was a hole in the floor you’d squat over and a bucket of water, or maybe a narrow hose connected to a water tank to use for cleaning and to police up the edges of the hole. Couldn’t hang with that today - my knees wouldn’t abide it.
I experienced that in Turkey.
Oh yeah

We like Moms here. I had one, still married to one and father to 2. They're precious, always right and NEVER EVER fart. I own that pleasure.

I've warmed up to the new one to the point that I forgot what the old one looked like.
11 numbers . . . you got this.
Apparently, Wife and daughter think so, will find out tomorrow (maybe). Have a VA appointment with a psychologist in Norman. First ever (kind of) I had to see an army psychiatrist when I opted for a third year as a Drill Sergeant. They feel you are either crazy or sadistic to want a third year.
Watched them in the desert of Saudi just go away from encampment, squat and do their business without toilet paper. Sand hand sanitizer.
One thing that has really changed for the good under President Trump is the VA Hospitals and doctors care. I have never used the VA but I have two cousins that do and they swear by it. Before Pres Trump they hated to go to the doctor and now it is a pleasure. Big change.
