  1. We are a genuinely evil country. Psychotically evil. Like, fucking cartoonishly so.
  2. Some of the daughter’s spread with friends and classmates in germany. She also made sweet potato casserole with lots of brown sugar and pecans, and a big tray of cornbread. Friends brought: Turkish lentil meatballs, Bavarian cheese, beer, and pretzels, Russian pancakes, Ukrainian tuna/egg/mayo salad, blinis, Armenian meat pastries.
  3. Those numbers translate to 1,000 Stanley nickels or 14 Ameros.
  4. Just a simple Scottish breakfast: sausage roll with egg (used Lorne sausage, so left Scottish sausage). Simple, damned fine. To dress it up, add a crisp slice of black pudding, but I didn’t want to break out my last roll of black pudding just yet. Also, in digging through some old recipes, found my mom’s handwritten cobbler recipe. This is how she (and now we) have made cobbler my whole life. Best with peaches or dewberries. I go a bit heavy on the fruit - this version of the recipe doesn’t say it, but it calls for 2 cups. I usually go with 2.5 cups. And the bake time ends up slightly longer, nearly an hour, because you want the crust to brown some on top. Not making a cobbler now, just thought some of yall might appreciate it.
  5. Boy says Ā£28 in Glasgow, so not bad. But daughter said they wanted €160 in Bonn. She went with chickens instead.
  6. Not sure which thread we discussed this in, but I inquired about the cost of turkey outside the US. In Scotland, the boy found one for Ā£28, so not too bad. But in Germany….daughter couldn’t find one to order for less than €160, and she said fuck that. So, she’s making 5 large roasted chickens…and a goddamn tofurkey for her vegetarian housemate and friends (they’re doing Thanksgiving today, because she doesn’t have class on Fridays). FFS. A tofurkey.
  7. Daughter special-ordered one for a Thanksgiving meal she’s cooking in Germany tomorrow, boy cooked one for his crew in Glasgow today. I’ve messaged to see how much they ran.
  8. Jesus. You may need to go hotter than usual to have those ready tomorrow afternoon.
  9. Yes.
  10. The fact that the stock market has become an irrational meme-stock and utter speculation based investment is not a vindication of the completely speculative and irrational basis of crypto. It’s an indictment of both.
  11. Fuckin’ lawyers, man.
  12. Forever and ever amen. Perfection.
  13. As a certified dude, I have to observe that ā€œsaferā€ and ā€œmore funā€ are mutually exclusive concepts. I only shop in the ā€œstupid dangerous and fucking awesomeā€ section of the retail world.
  14. Hit fiesta the other day because I wanted sweetbreads for dinner. As I wandered the store (because one must see what treasures abound), I had to talk myself out of buying this: 28 lb cabeza for under $100. But then I realized it’s just the wife and me at home, and I’m the only one who would eat it. So…put it in the memory bank for a weekend when we have adventurous friends over.
  15. As just the wife and I will have a late Thanksgiving lunch out (Eddie V’s - gonna have oysters and whatnot), I made a little breakfast for myself. Found a place in Katy that has all kinds of traditional Brit and Scottish food. So, made a Scottish staple: a sausage roll, with square sausage (AKA, Lorne sausage…you make a raw sausage meatloaf, then slice it and fry the slices): And that will be my sole bit of cooking today.
