Thankstaken

[tahnan]

So far today:

• The ice cream maker has failed to in fact freeze the ice cream, producing instead a liquid that was, well, exactly what I put in, only stirred a little more;
• The cutting board fell from the counter, destroying what was on it, i.e. the turkey giblets and one of my favorite glass mixing bowls (seriously, I bought them at a Crate and Barrel outlet in like 1997 and they've been my most constant kitchen companions ever since—I think the only thing in my kitchen that old is the toaster oven, and my wife wants to replace that anyway);
• We came this >< close to running out of aluminum foil before I finished wrapping the turkey.

And that's before the cooking starts in earnest. Honestly, it's a good thing we have no friends here, so that only my wife and I will end up having to call Domino's.

Domino's? I'll be right over!

Order Domino's anyway. No shame in it.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I don't think I've actually eaten a Domino's pizza since Christmas 1995, when it was the only thing open in small-town Minnesota.

You really wrap the turkey? I don't even tent the breast anymore. Comes out fine.

My spiritual father, who worked for years as a kosher butcher and therefore Should Know, advocates wrapping in foil. I dare not argue.

Flennel.

You have friends everywhere.

No...I have friends many places, but Philadelphia isn't one of them. (Neither are Cheyenne, Wyoming and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, as far as I know, but those are less relevant.) Seriously, though—friends, yes; friends who'd come over for Thanksgiving here, not so much.

jadelennox sez: I dreamt the other night that temvald was holding Klaus. And he brought him up to his mouth as if to eat him, and then suddenly it wasn't Klaus, but was rather a roast chicken. So temvald started to eat him. And I was saying, hey, don't do that, that's your cat that you're eating!

Friends don't let friends order Dominos.

Actually, "We can always call Domino's" is just a long-standing joke meaning, roughly, "I make no promises as to how well dinner will come out." As noted, we don't actually call Domino's.

All the same, y'all should clearly come down here to make sure we don't.
