"We're all snowed in."

Aaughh!

ok.....

Love me some green bean casserole if it’s done right!

Those four will get you removed from my family's gathering.

If you say "Splenda" you're not invited back.

You’re good people. Damn fine folks.

I have a whole boatload of family members who either can't or won't eat sugar.

(and we are out of alcohol, valium, fenanyl, oxycodone--take your pick)

It's sad because it's true.

My ex-BIL did that exact thing! He was fresh out of college and trying to find work and became “all in” on Amway! He had boxes of their crap in his room at the in-laws house and nobody was in the mood to buy his crap or listen to his bunk.

I can clearly remember boxes of Amway crap in the apartment when I was 5 or 6 in the late 60s. My mom was always trying MLM - tupperware, Mary Kay, Avon, other stuff I don't remember and probably more things after I left home and moved out of state. I think she mainly got into it to get product for herself and/or her church friends. I don't remember ever being any richer for her selling any.

your bong??? That thought never entered my mind! Ah, youth!

but never bothered to clean inside.


Of course, that one time we tried Jack Daniels in the bong may have cleaned it. We are probably pretty lucky we didn't blow ourselves up. It was awful. Never put liquor in your bong kids. No idea what we were thinking but we were pretty high...

still around here somewhere, doubt I could handle a bong hit anymore without a major coughing fit. that was back in the day when weed wasn't erm...quite so well-bred, if you know what I mean.

guess I could use it for a flower vase or something. LOL

That was my first thought. But my computer's running a little slow this evening and you beat me to it. Great minds think alike.

I am ok with tofu, or seitan, done certain ways.

But on Thanksgiving, it's a real, roasted turkey (we found the Trader Joe brined bird was superb last year)

Never had any issues with grain products but that concentrated level of gluten does awful things to me.

I am quite fond of using TVP as ground beef substitute, especially if marinated right with the spice palate of the dish plus some extra onion powder...

Too radical for maybe half their family and friends.

A lovely Moosewood Cookbook nut loaf was inadequate. Meat was found.

I swear, there were people there who would have shot pigeons downtown rather than suffer a meatless Thanksgiving.

I make them several times a year just because.

...

I used to watch in awe as my great grandmas cut apart fish, birds, and small mammals. Their hands moved quicker than I could follow.

But rabbits on Easter???

That's only bad if we lose.

Long time 49rs fan so that explains it.

no worries - I'm used to it lol.

I'm taking a standing 8 count on that one

Or any other Dump pablum.

Nothing gets between me and "nature's tranquilizer" on T-Day!

I quit.

Can barely stand to be in the same room with them.

My brother-in-law and nephew are NRA members.

I only like them raw, in salad or pico de gallo

I can choke them down in small amounts if they're cooked almost to oblivion, but raw onions make whatever they're in, completely inedible. Especially the red ones. I'll pick the tiniest bits of raw red onion out of whatever I find them in, but sometimes those disgusting bits have tainted the food so badly that I can't eat it at all.

the food processer in order to make Thanksgiving palatable for an onion-averse friend. The taste didn't seem to overly bother him but he couldn't stand the texture of normal diced or sliced onion. Whizzing it into a near-mush solved the issue nicely.

Running out of onions is an emergency in my house.

Very annoying when that happens.

We've won the last four in a row.

republicans........

and You lead the prayer.

Yee hah!

"Here, hold my beer."

"'Inflammable' means it's fireproof!"

Once, c. 2002, I tried a Tofurky turkey. I followed the instructions, and perhaps it was my fault; but it tasted like a big, very salty, moist old toast.

A couple of years ago, and against my better judgment, I decided to give it another try.

It was even worse.

Ironically, the Torfurky deli slices are delicious - with a feel and taste that's very much like turkey cold cuts. Their turkey-in-a-box though, is pretty hopeless.

Happened one year. Haven't been back since.

Grocery retail is an unforgiving taskmaster.
