The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Well, I came down with a cold overnight, but I'm not feeling too bad. That might change....I have to pick up DS and we have to walk home and drop my bike off at the repair shop on the way...it's going to be about a 5 mile trek, in the cold, so we'll see. But no, not really celebrating Thanksgiving. I forgot to set my availability in time, so by the time I realized Thanksgiving was coming up, the deadline had passed and I have to work. They also said no one can have Friday off because we're doing a black Friday sale.

Sympathy like. Please take care of yourself during this stressful time of year and GWS my friend xoxo

Nope you are not alone ...

Hey there Mr. Ferret -- your island doesn't partake in Thanksgiving, so your response is a moot point.

The rest of the year around here, there are more specials at the markets, but the stores are just cashing in now with supply and demand.

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

I was going to ask the same thing? Mine is called a side by side

I thought yours was called a farm

Ha! Love the cup -- but, what's in the package?

What package

Awwww....it's a sweet offer, but didn't you say neither of your moms can cook? It's the thought that counts though.

Yup neither of them can cook. I have a interesting few stories of them ruining things such as Hamburger Helper, boxed mashed potatoes and so on. I've also been known to bring my own coffee when visiting.

Phone added an extra photo
Should be gone now

 

[MinnieM123]

Oh, you just deleted the little photo under the cup. That's tricky, Mr. Ferret! Just remember, nothing gets past the rest of us here. We're "on" to you!!

Some stuff I am planning are baked cauliflower hash browns, baked hushpuppies, brown rice stuffing, mushroom gravy, apple and cherry hand pies, and chocolate muffins.
@figmentfan423 , I had dh buy turnips at Wegman’s yesterday, and he also brought home purple sweet potatoes. I was thinking of turnip mashed potatoes or a root veggie “gratin” . Never tried purple ones before. Do they taste like the orange?

Yup James and I agree there's a subtle difference between some of the varieties but most cannot tell

I thought it was a mis-spelling of JTP ...

Oh, that explains it--I never shop in that store (not even sure if any are left in this area).

Would they be good in a vegan gratin? Mixed with other potatoes?

 

[MinnieM123]

So are the local police

. . . and Interpol . . .
