Good Sunday morning, everyone. Cool here in Louisville Metro this morning: depending on your exact location, the current temp is 40 to 42 degrees. And our high today is only get to 46.
Coffee is ready, as well as oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple and apple; also have the water hot for hot tea, and there's cider available also.
On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, pork sausage patties, tater tots, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, grits, oatmeal, toast.
Has anyone heard from Mookie the last several days? Is she still working on getting her latest computer acquisition up and running? Miss seeing her in here. Mookie, got you coffee mug down, and ready, just in case you do make it in.
You all have a very good Sunday morning, dress warmly out there, and take care.
......Our nice repeatable sunny weather has finally changed. 37 and overcast now but still, that's not too bad.
Veterans day is sneaking up on us and perhaps some churches will be talking about that subject in services this morning. Ours generally does touch on that subject.
But what really counts is the upcoming Thanksgiving meal occuring annually there this coming Wed. The best turkey and unbleavable noodles and of course all the rest. Each family to bring deserts, enough for them and that always produces an abundance of such.
The church ladies prepare all the rest. Meal is held in the gym, a sizeable space and what a site with all the folks and food.....Anyone welcome.
Good morning, all. 43 degrees and clear in Carolina at present. CW, thanks for breakfast. Is there any chance of fried shrimp and/or oysters, or oyster stew anytime? Thanks. Quentin, you are quite right about Thanksgiving. When my folks were alive, we would all get together for good family fellowship and good food. I made a special effort, no matter where I was to get back home for it. I have fond memories of Thanksgivings past. Everybody have a good Sunday

.....Tom, I'm sure that tradition is true all over America....A very important day in the lives of families....! Not much would prevent families from gathering together for that special day. In my own personal life, I could just say.....your statement above is accurate for Thanksgivings in my life extending way back over 70 years ago.
I hope all families can enjoy the same again in this great country of ours as the holiday approaches.
Good morning-
It's a cold morning here in Sioux Falls, one source says we have 16 degrees here, and another source tells me we have 21 degrees, and our actual temp could be somewhere between these two figures. Our maximum temp will be 32 this afternoon, but at least there isn't any snow in our forecast.
My family will gather at my sister's house for Thanksgiving dinner on 11/27 and by my count, there will be 12 to 15 of us. My sister will have a turkey in the oven and our dinner will include turkey dressing with whipped potatoes and gravy, cranberries, Leffse, nut pudding, cinnamon bread and pumpkin pie.
Ray, what is leffse?
Tom, lefse, pronounced "lefseh (short e, accent on the first syllable) is a Scandinavian dish from my Norwegian/Swedish heritage. It is made from boiled potatoes and flour which is then rolled out with a wooden rolling pin to form a sheet which is then baked in an oven. When finished it will look something like a tortia shell, but much thinner. It is kind of a dessert item (I'm not sure I spelled dessert right) and my family likes to eat it with a spread made from a mixture of butter and brown sugar, and it is rolled up or folded. If I could figure out how to mail a sample of it to you without having it spoil before it arrives at your house, I would. Leffse is something that my family always has for dinner at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, and it can be served any time of the year for that matter. It is much more common in this part of the country then let's say places like North or South Carolina or Kentucky. I could probably buy some in my local grocery store right now.
I am of Norwegian descent, and when you pronounce my last name, Loftesness, from the original Norse dialect, it means "land of the mountains". My father, Ray Loftesness, Sr. was a well known radio broadcaster and musicologist, having spent 55 years in radio and television. To most of his radio listeners he was simply known as "Lofty".

grampaw pettiboneIs there any chance of fried shrimp and/or oysters, or oyster stew anytime?
Yes, Tom, there is a very good chance. As a matter of fact, on today's menu you will find:
1. leftover pork chop abracadabra
2. mild chili w/grilled cheese sandwiches
3. beef stew w/cornbread
4. deep fried shrimp and oysters
5. oyster stew w/oyster crackers (the oyster crackers are good in the chili, also!)
6. The following pizzas: Hawaiian, pepperoni & mushroom, cheese w/extra cheese, and supreme.
Didn't leave the house yesterday, so getting ready to make a quick trip to the grocery store. Going to be fixing another version of the pork chop abracadabra tomorrow: chicken abracadabra.
You all enjoy whichever of the items on today's menu you prefer, and see you all later.
Yikes - I go play with a helicopter and ride the train and I miss 'Mutt's birthday. Another anniversary of 39 is in the books! (A happy belated, Walt!)
Went to a presentation and demonstration of one of our regional air medical services. In the process we got a "tour" of the helicopter. We don't send patients out by air as much as some areas do, but due to our distance from trauma centers and other specialized care, it does happen.
Last night I worked another "murder mystery." This time I think I got "whodunnit," even though I'm not there for the whole "show".
Fall cleanup today.

good evening
We are home from G+G house.Cw thanks for supper.Not too nice outside now. Going to take a nap before work.
I was nowhere within 500 miles of Mdme La Mooks new computer - Don't look at me! (Bad enough that this one refuses to send e-mails)

I'm sure that one will be a wash.

I personally don't care for it, but it's a popular menu item at my family's holiday gatherings (my Mom's maiden name was Kringle!).
Forgot to mention - We're under a Lake Effect Snow Warning overnight. Which means I probably won't have to worry about it here at the house, but the drive to work in the morning could be fun.
Gotta throw some clothes in the drier, and the Dal is telling me it's time to call it a night. I don't think he's figured standard time yet...

Good Monday morning, to one and all.
Brian, did you say Kringle?!?! Are you actually related to Santa?? Is he your great-great-great Grandfather? (Sorry, I just could not resist.) Guess I'm going to be a little devil today
Coffee, juices, cider, hot tea and hot chocolate are all ready this morning. And on the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage patties & links (pork, as always), hash browns, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, bagels, bear claws, and, if you like, there's a nice selection of jellies to put on your biscuits or bagels.
Think I'll be in the kitchen, working on cutting up fresh vegetables, for a big pot of vegetable beef soup, and a pot of navy bean soup w/ham. Is there anything else you all would like to see on today's afternoon and evening menu?
You all enjoy your breakfast, and have a good morning.
cherokee woman Brian, did you say Kringle?!?! Are you actually related to Santa?? Is he your great-great-great Grandfather? (Sorry, I just could not resist.) Guess I'm going to be a little devil today
Our son Chris is probably grateful that he didn't inherit that surname...
My grandfather's first name was Carroll- back in the day they owned a dairy farm up northeast of Rice Lake, Wisconsin. He passed it on to his son Carl, who passed it on to his son (my cousin) Dale. I think it was Dale who first gave the farmstead a name- Reindeer Acres. A few years ago, though, he gave up on dairy farming and converted the barn into a pistol shooting range, and rented out the fields. Both Carl and Dale now work for a Rice Lake golf course as groundskeepers.
My Mom, thanks to her heritage, has always been big into Christmas- it's not unusual for her to have a decorated tree in every room of the house. She also was into collecting Santa figures of all kinds, but has since scaled that back.
Dadburn it, I had a long missive, ready to post and it up and disappeared!!!!
Currently 39 degrees and clear in Carolina on a Monday morning. The wife has the house very cool and I feel like an eskimo. Ray, I am English and Dutch descent, but have little or no knowledge of the foods that came with it. Now, Carolina redneck is another story and I was raised on fatback, grits and such. CW, thanks for breakfast. Everybody stay safe

Joe
Ed, it's good to hear from you. What's the latest plans for your surgery?
Planned for next year sometime in the Spring I am hoping. Problem is though I hated the tests that I had last week man why didn't that doc just do a probe in my butt as much info as he wanted. They want to know if I can handle the effects of the surgery if I can survive a piggybacked stroke that cost me 20% of my brain this is easy.
......Partly sunny here in our central Indiana location this morning. 32 plus degrees now.
We'll see cooler temps this week as compared to last....Probably in 40's and 50's for highs. Transition time can produce much different weeks back to back. Last week, 70's etc.....Short sleeves and shorts.
Best to all for a good week.
