Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

[PUSH]

Thank you. I have a Martha Stewart roasting pan, but other than that, absolutely nothing else I will be serving today looks half as good as that spread.

I didn’t do my own grocery shopping, so I am missing so many ingredients/elements. Making gravy is going to be a challenge. Sigh.

Also, based on this pic, I am getting a “Go ahead, use the Chinet” vibe.

ALWAYS use paper plates. That's the way to go. And let's be honest, themed holiday plates are more fun than boring plates that make annoying clinking noises when you put silverware on them.

Woohoo - turkey’s in the oven.
Not that I ever put a whole lot of effort into these big meals, but this year is as no frills as it gets.

If I thought I could get away with it, I’d use Chinet plates. (Can I? Can I use Chinet? It’s family only, and it’s not like anyone helps me clean up.)

Dinner should be served at 6:30. I forgot to buy lettuce, so bring your own salad please.

In my bachelor days I used to eat Swanson dinners. Probably once a week. The turkey one pictured above was one of my "favorites".
My week of dinners was something like this:
1. Swanson 2. Pizza 3. McDonalds 4. Eat in at a diner 5. Boston Market 6. Visit mom for a home cooked meal 7. Cook something simple myself, like pork chops or spaghetti

No, fancy food is wrapped in bacon.

Happy Thanksgiving @JenniferS ! I hope you had a good day and used the Chinet. How is your hip feeling?

Thank you. Used the Chinet. Hip is barking. (I think this is the new norm, so I’d best stop complaining because people get sick of that real fast.)

we only get sick of complaining from people we dislike and you are not one of them

Sadly, no pics of the Chinet.

Complain away if you want. I hope your also had the good mashed potatoes, ever since you posted about them a couple years ago that is how I love to eat them now.

No need to say "used to".....in my book that still looks fancy

Not in the mood for milk or water. It’s too early for tea. Too late for coffee.

I know. I’ll have some pop.

So now that you’ve had the turkey, is the tree going up tonight or tomorrow?

So now that you’ve had the turkey, is the tree going up tonight or tomorrow?

I’d already decided to buy a new tree this year. Mike moving the tree from the basement to the back shed and accidentally leaving it out in the rain for two nights confirmed it.

I’ve been checking out trees on Amazon, but I really think this needs to be a touch it/feel it/see it/real life kind of purchase.

I’m ready for the Christmas lights to go up though.

I know what you mean, you really can’t tell from the picture, you need to see it up close and personal. We got a new one last Christmas. We have more room for a tree now and our old small one wasn’t cutting it. Somehow my old one didn’t end up in the shed, we ended up with two decorated trees in the house.

toasted fluffernutter? never!!!

This made me laugh out loud. I had just seen trr1's photo of the toasted sandwich and thought, who the heck would ever toast a Fluffernutter?!

Millenniums! There really is no hope for the future.

I just Googled this bizarre thing you all speak so fondly of, and apparently toasted/grilled is not new.

Grilled, toasted, plain; white bread, whole wheat, multigrain ... it all sounds vile. I’ll stick with plain old PB and grape jelly, thanks.

You can google it until the cows come home, those of us that were lucky enough to be the innovators in it's second coming after WWII, know that you DO NOT toast or grill a fluffernutter. For one thing we were all laying on our belly's watching the original Mickey Mouse Club and the last thing our mothers would tolerate was toast crumbs on the carpet, not to mention dripping marshmallow fluff on it. Toast will create more crumbs then soft white bread. Fluff on hot toast will run like Niagara Falls directly into those highly regarded carpet fibers. So regardless, of what the argument is... any self respecting baby boomer knows it to be untoasted white bread liberally coated with peanut butter and huge amounts of Fluff. As Walter Cronkite would have said... "and that's the way it is"

Agreed. There's only one correct way to eat a fluffernutter.
