Thanksgiving Is Great Because We Have Three Kinds Of Pie

[xifeng]

Because jurhael did it, at the time of writing it appears that we are having turkey with cornbread stuffing, rolls, cauliflower pie, cranberries (real cranberries, none of that suckass canned shit), coconut cream pie, and chocolate and pecan pie. (The latter is m0mmy's birthday pie, which I still owe her because I am of the suck.) I foresee leftovers in the immediate future. (We're freezing some of the turkey--it's a 16-lb. fresh turkey and there's only two of us. You might ask why we bought all that turkey. We didn't. Mom's workplace has an agreement with the turkey farm, so everyone gets a turkey voucher for Thanksgiving.)

Also, a happy belated birthday to treyvadi, because I suck. NO KILLING, PLZ KTHX.

Not very much of interest has happened this week. I went to Terre Haute and had a milkshake! :D Not that those two events are causally related, but I did get to flee Terre Haute at 3 p.m. instead of the customary 4 p.m. I'm getting paid for three 30-year searches which are basically the same search that I cannibalized twice in order to get the chain WHEEEE.

We may also be painting the guest room this weekend. I'm trying to goad m0mmy into having someone look at the TV, because if she doesn't I won't know whether to get her one or not.

Two orders of business:
1.) I would encourage them what's into this kind of thing to celebrate Buy Nothing Day. The website speaks for itself, but in the spirit of devil's advocacy, it's not like you wanted to get up at 5 a.m. on your day off to go fight a bunch of rabid shoppers for consumer goods anyway.
2.) Them what wants Xmas cards, which I promise I will do this year because I don't have to be in fucking Sullivan five days a week, should shoot the ol' address here or leave a comment. Comments will be screened; if you just had a comment and don't want to leave your address, they will be summarily unscreened as soon as I see them, whenever that will be.
3.) ♥

1. I cannot participate because if I don't post H's birthday presents tomorrow it'll be even later than it's already going to be, and she might eat my face.
2. I do not believe this will happen until it actually does *g* But I believe you have my address anyway.
3. ♥

1.) I would hate for H to eat your face, as I imagine that would cost a pretty penny to fix. So it would be good if you posted her birthday presents.

2.) Oh, do eat me *g* Yes, I do. I will have to get it off the back of the card you sent me for my birthday (the one that says HEARTS OMG! RUN! on the back).

3.) ♥ ♥

1) I'm not sure I'd bother fixing it. Going about with an eaten face would be nothing if not original.

2) Hearts are scary things!

3) ♥- See! That one has a gun!

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

1.) Well, yes, but it wouldn't exactly do wonders for the ol' self-esteem.

2.) I know! They almost attacked me!

3.) FLEEEEE!!!!!

[tara]

1) Actually, at least then I could blame my head on the having-been-eaten thing, rather than just nature.
2) They'll do that.
3) QUICK!

Ooooh, coconut cream pie!!11!! Coconut cream pie sounds delicious. Cat likes coconut. And cream.

Also, Buy Nothing Day is weird. o.O Apparently someone has organised something in Denmark even, which sounds really strange. The thing that they've organised, not that it was organised in Denmark.

Also also, d'you want my address again or do you have it somewhere already?

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

That is because it is delicious. ^_^ It has a custardy base with coconut mixed in, and then a meringue topping covered with toasted coconut. Screw that pansy-ass pumpkin pie; we have coconut cream pie every year.

In the US, the day after Thanksgiving is the biggest retail sales day in the year, so it's like MATERIALISM TO THE MAX and BUY BUY BUY and YOU'RE A LOSER IF YOU DON'T. That's why Buy Nothing Day is celebrated on the day after Thanksgiving here.

I never remember which address things should go to, so if you could zap it to me again, I should appreciate that greatly. &hears;

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your m0mmy, Lee!

Also, what is cauliflower pie? I've never heard of it, and I don't usually like cauliflower, so currently, I'm thinking, "Ew," and wrinkling up my nose.

Also also, I refused long ago to buy anything tomorrow. Why do people think it's so important to get up at three thirty to get ready and go camp outside stores, getting in the employees' way as they try to get in to do their jobs starting at four thirty in the fucking morning? That's Goddamn disgusting, if you'll forgive how profane and incoherent I'm being about it. I just can't express how angry this consumerism makes me!

Do you still have my address, or would you like it again? I'll email it if you need it/want it/have to have it. ^_~

Thank you, fluffkin. ♥ *fixes you a turkey sandwich and a big piece of pie*

Cauliflower pie is a tasty pie made with cauliflower and lots of CHEESE. The crust is made of shredded potato. Mostly, it's a pie about cheese. It's not traditional at our house for Thanksgiving, but we couldn't find green beans with almonds, so I made a cauliflower pie instead. It works as a side dish or a main dish.

I'm trying to be, like, Politically Aware and shit. I did some of my shopping at Christkindlmarkt, and I'm probably going to get up early on the weekends henceforth. I don't really like doing this, but if it is the only way for X-chan to get a Christmas present, then do it I shall.

I think I might still have it, but e-mail it to me again just in case. ^_^

You're welcome! I hope your Black Friday was a good one, too, you crazy shopper. ^_^ And it's weird...I haven't had a turkey sandwich yet, just lots and lots of rolls and cranberry sauce.

Cauliflower, though...I suppose it's good when you disguise it with cheese and potato, but still! Maybe it's a kid thing that I haven't quite grown out of, this distrust of vegetables, especially ones that look like broccoli and that my mom thinks taste great by themselves. And I've never had green beans with almonds, either. You have some foods that I would never dream up. It amuses my soul.

It ruins the "Politically Aware" when you add "shit" at the end of the sentence, but hey, I'm not at all aware, or any shit like that. ^^6 I think you're nuts, though. Not even for my family would I be likely to wake up at three or four in the morning. Insanity!

Okie dokie, will do as soon as I end this comment! ♥

But you have had pie, correct? Then you're not in dereliction of duty.

BIG SEKRIT: EVERYTHING is made better by cheese and potato. It's quite tasty, though; we cut the recipe out of the paper and it's become a winter staple here. As for green beans with almonds, you can find them in the frozen foods section of your supermarket; I think Green Giant or sommat puts them out.

I do, when I heart people. ^_^

Yay! It has been received. *is glad to be shopping TalynMart*
