That's the risk you run living in a Deep Red State with corrupt cops.....here the cops are actually working in the community to solve problems....in West Lane county we have a very good police force...sorry you live in such a horrible crime rate area.....and hopefully your neighbors don't have too many assault weapons and attack dogs to respond to your complaints. One of the local cops in my neighborhood played basketball in high school with my son....he knows everybody.
yeah....I thought so. Happy Thanksgiving to you! I'm thankful I don't live on the east coast in that blood soaked red state. Be careful around those pesky neighbors.....I'm fortunate in that my neighbors are friendly and peaceful.
Thank you. I do appreciate that. My wife and I will be picking up a Thanksgiving dinner from a local grocery store and taking to my wife's mother in Kentucky. She's pretty much home bound, so we hope it blesses her. Tonight is my weekly trek to downtown Nashville to feed the homeless. I hope to extend special thanksgiving encouragement in whatever way without seeming "privileged." There's a fine line there. Generally speaking, though, I just crack jokes with them as I serve food. They laugh, so it's good. I love the opportunities.
My son, daughter in law and her dad as well as our grandson will have Thanksgiving together...all of us have tested negative and had very little contact outside our circle...the kids work in the medical field and are tested regularly....we take temperatures and stay outside on his back deck....we also provide day care for our grandson so feel very safe...it's our only social outlet....
My wife, son, mother, and I will have Thanksgiving. We have all quarantined for a week (accept me going to the clinic for a catscan). We are being safe.
I mean, Jesus Fucking Christ... what in THE FUCK was he goin' on & on about, anyways? "Seed on a rock, seed on sand... here's a fucking seed, in this here hand." That was some wickedly profound shit he was saying there. "Abject failure."
My siblings and I are having separate Thanksgiving with just our households. On Friday we are meeting outdoors, masked, to exchange plates. I am also stopping by a friend's house, she doesn't cook much but always brings appreciation, and dropping off a plate in her porch. Will probably have enough pumpkin caramel tart to put a couple of slices on my neighbor's porch.
People of that ilk, who think like that are exactly the reason we're in the mess we're in, and why even more people will needlessly die from the rona.
My dessert? A Costco pumpkin pie with some canned whip cream crap. We will have a great turkey, some excellent dressing with great turkey gravy and some even better cranberry sauce mixed with some frozen orange juice. This will get washed down with a quality white wine. The turkey, on the other hand, will have a bad day.
My wife and I will be dinning alone. This will be a good deal for me but probably a bad deal for my wife. Looks like she drew the short straw.
I make whipped cream from organic heavy cream. For this pie, add a bit of bourbon and just enough sugar.
Can/will you share how you make your whipped cream? Making a pecan pie tonight & would love to make some whipped cream to go with it! Thanks in advance (assuming you're willing to share).
I've never taken pictures down there, Sly. But only because you're the one asking. One pic is of me and my buddies, Isaiah and James horsing around a bit. (Obviously, my mask was off for this). The other one is of the food just before serving time. It was a wonderful evening last night. Mild weather, happy faces, and some good eatin'! Despite their circumstances, many of these folks have such joy in their hearts. It's a pleasure to serve them.
