DW it is a sin not to like onions. 3 heads of garlic as punishment.
Iâm doing the usual Thanksgiving with the kids and their SOs at their places (neighboring apartments). Weâre doing the now-traditional crab boil, featuring shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob, and other assorted veggies.
Im ukranian. Thats tookie numbers.
Morninâ everyone!
Itâs cold out there today. 19°. I didnât think I had enough warm layers on for my walk, but by the time I got about halfway done, Iâd warmed up. The fleece lined pants sure helped. Looks like we might get some precipitation later - at least, the lower half of the state is getting something.
One of my co-workers has jury duty today, so sheâs out. So I get to work solo until my lunch, then my other co-worker (whose regular shift starts an hour after mine) will cover that shift. Hopefully, the jury duty is quick.
So I guess Iâd better get ready for the work stuff, since Iâve got to handle it all.
starts coffee, stokes the fire, wraps up in a warm blanket
Good morning! Back to the candy grind⊠![]()
Good morning all! Cold here too but not as cold as Poctz! Have my little french press pressing my coffee while I type. Kitties fed, curtains open. Sunny today so that is nice.
/Strides into the lounge yawning. Shuffles to the kitchen to find the thoughtfully started coffee. Fills the huge coffee vats, checks the gnome coffee pool, refills the tea, and other necessities. Warms up the blankets except the one Poctz already has. Puts out fresh fruit, bagels, cream cheese, bacon, eggs, and a toaster. Make your own station for breakfast sandwiches or whatnot. Sets out cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins.
/Gets a big mug of coffee then settles by the window under a warm blanket to contemplate the day and write a to-do list.

Anxious about squish testing tomorrow even though I have been told it is not a big deal. Blood work is next week. Appointment the week after. ARGH. Other than that things are fine, just fine.
Bought new shoes last year but they hurt my feet.
These are the shoes that try menâs soles.
Wild chorus of coyotes and owls early this morning, and the moon dusting through clouds slowly ripening to an incandescent pink.
Made a Hordie timerunner just have a house over there. I havenât played that faction in years and find no desire to level my older toons. Org was absolutely desolate. So glad weâll be able to set our hearth to the new and beautiful Silvermoon!
Putâs out lemon curd, current scones and array of teas ![]()
So I have a question about Lemix that I canât believe I havenât asked before now. Do you need to play one of every armor class in order to buy all the transmogs? I know there is some class specific stuff tied to achievements but I just mean stuff you purchase with bronze. Or can I theoretically buy everything with just my hunter?
Yes, if you want to get the four armor sets for Mythic Trial of Valor Deathless.
Otherwise, no.
Oh, that sounds good! I have never tried lemon curd or current scones. Would eat.
Ugh, as soon as Summer gets closer, the Summer Colds start approaching. ![]()
/grabs coffee
So this is sort of the talk about the weather, I hate Mondays, whatâs for dinner, pet photos thread?
And recipes. And just mindless chatter.
This thread is here to keep the regulars from sidetracking the other posts here, which does happen. And of course, anyone can stop in, relax, chat, whatever.
And Happy Birthday to Calvin & Hobbes. The strip debuted 40 years ago, today.
Itâs kinda sloppy here. Rain/snow mix. Itâs too warm to stick around though. I went food shopping. I have everything I need for the big feast except for the pie. That one my hubby gets at the last minute from Costco. They have huge pumpkin pies. I like not having to go out again when things get real crazy.

i am done christmas shopping too.
Thatâs quite the devotion. I started playing around late Cata, and have been playing ever since. The only break I took was right before BFA came out, and it wasnât because I was disappointed with anything the devs put out, or in BFA, I just became more interested in some other games that came out, they werenât even MMOs, just other games.
I returned here in Shadowlands. Quite the expansion to come back to⊠Been around since. Nothing seems to be able to kill my love for this game⊠even when I think it will.
One of my all time favorites ![]()
And that tracks, I was probably 9-10 when my dad gave me my first Calvin and Hobbes book, âSomething Under the Bed is Droolingâ ![]()
My favorites are the killer mutant snow goons.
I kinda made it up based on a recipe for mu shu pork.
The pork called for slaw, so I picked up a bag of asian slaw at the grocery story, not realizing it came with noodles and a package of ginger sauce.
So I used it anyways, and saved the ginger sauce.
So yesterday, I sauted some strips of chicken breast and mushrooms in toasted seseme oil and soy sauce, added another bag of slaw and some asian noodles, then the ginger sauce.
And thatâs tonightâs dinner and probably tomorrowâs as well.
