Plus you can tell the skin is like all rubbery and shit. It's not even brown and crisp.

Hubby and oldest discussing FFXIV. Or rather, oldest info-dumping and debating the flaws in the most recent expansion and my husband chiming in periodically. 💜

Not hiding per se, but definitely taking a time out in my bedroom with the cat. The only guest today is my oldest. So it's three of us on the spectrum plus my husband. Pretty low key.

Definitely have to share one of the most iconic Thanksgiving Day reenactments today. Grab those cardigans and highballs and enjoy! 🦃 🍁 🪶🔥🍽️

Food was good. But my back is killing me. And now I am horizontal in bed with the cat, who is hiding because my oldest is visiting. Bodhi is currently making biscuits and nuzzling me. I'll take it.

I haven't even had pie yet.

I could go on about the horrors of colonization and what truly happened when settlers arrived in North America, but that’s a discussion for another time and requires more thought and effort than a Bluesky post.

For now, I’m going to enjoy my day with family.

Myth of the First Thanksgiving - Wikipedia

The first Thanksgiving is a myth. I'm descended from him some of those Mayflower folks, but I also have Wampanoag as ancestry as well. If anything, it's just a day off to spend with family and has no major cultural significance for me.

Turkey is done and resting. Mac and cheese is done and in the Crockpot keeping warm. Currently have dough for rolls going in the bread maker—love the dough setting. All I need to do is get the ham into the oven and other sides.

Bold you to assume that my mother can cook let alone make a pie. 😂

(I have horror stories.)

Thankfully, my great-grandma taught me how to cook.

I'm on a list for hating AI while simultaneously being on a list for having an "AI" avatar. The owner for the latter list blocked me when I asked to be removed. It's like Photoshop is a thing, ya know.

Unrelated: I'm on a block list because I have my own block lists that I personally use. 🤔

Why does Kash Patel always look like he just got a UFIA?

#TurkeyThursday

Appropriate for today? We would have a rafter of #wild #turkeys visit the house in Liberty #Utah throughout the year. This was a Sep 2019 #600mm #telephoto capture of two of the large flock.

Next, they'll be telling everyone that dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical made by the radical left to poison the right. 🙄

I still quite haven’t gotten into warrior. I still need to level mine. I haven’t played a warrior since BC. I will say blood and unholy DK are loads of fun. I really like prot pally. I just can't get into ret.

This is only the beginning. 😉

I have a mage, warlock, DH, DK, warrior, druid, and hunter.

Can't be a betamax VCR. My parents have one of those (still). So, that rules out one thing. 😂

I mean, my cat is a unit. The weight alone would pull my pants down.

This is a engineering nightmare.

(I would not put my cat in this thing. Jfc.)

What happens if the cat gets startled and claws the shit out of your ass?

Lard is what my great-grandma used when she taught me how to make them. She did say Crisco was a decent substitute when none was available, which I have used in a pinch. Never butter flavored. It tastes artificial.

Grats on first time biscuits. 😊

No no no no no. Lard. That is the gold standard for buttermilk biscuits. 😉 Brush with butter after.

And don't overwork the dough.

Odd timing on the heels of a judge's order to end the deployment of the N.G. in DC. And now Trump wants to send in more troops. Highly sus if you ask me.

Those soldiers should have never been there to begin with. I hope they pull through, if reports are accurate.

(14) PERSON 1: I guess that’s okay. PERSON 2: It’s all I wanted.

LOL good one.

I probably won't have much. I usually have salmon, if I can, instead. But groceries are expensive AF, and I already had a request to fix ham in addition to turkey for tomorrow.

Picture of raw turkey with stuffing, seasoned and ready for roasting.

Thanksgiving turkey getting ready for slow roast. Yes, I do mine with stuffing.

Injected with and brushed with creole butter. Simple salt and pepper on the skin, which will come out nice and crisp. Decided against brine and dry rub this year. Keeping it simple. #FoodSky

Jan Jansz van Haerlem, Morat-reis or Moerad Raïs de Jongere

Poking around with some genealogy stuff. Looks like Jan Janszoon van Haarlem (aka Reis Mourad the Younger) is my 12th GGF, descended through his son Anthony.

Looks like I have more research to do to verify. #Genealogy

Post a meme by you

The wind is wicked here today. Oof.

@indems.bsky.social ask: "If republicans will ignore even their own voters to please [the 🤡] on redistricting, what else will they ignore #Hoosiers on? Our democracy does not survive ... when a state abandons its own people..."

Nice!
