Sorry good afternoon, Ruby.
6:44 am
rubyfoo

Pabtrek: l lived in Binghamton a lifetime go
6:45 am
pabtrek

Yes, I think I seen you mention that before.
6:45 am
rubyfoo

They're predicting the first snow here tonight
6:46 am
Scrabbler

How much?
6:46 am
rubyfoo

and the house is freezing
6:46 am
MollyL

Gross Ruby. We had s now in November and I hated it.
6:46 am
72 Temple Owl

it's going to get bitterly cold for the thanksgiving holiday.
6:47 am
Scrabbler

And I am ready to snowshoe.
6:48 am
rubyfoo

No Thanksgiving here. l did it for tne first 10 years or so, mostly for my husband's benefit, but the French people we invited never "got" it.
6:48 am
Scrabbler

There is no day of giving thanks in France?
6:49 am
rubyfoo

If not for the pups, l would stay in bed 'til April!
6:49 am
72 Temple Owl

probably none here either. may cook a turky breast or get a marie callendar turkey dinner.
6:50 am
Scrabbler

I am cooking everything but the turkey for my mother. My cousin is roasting the turkey.
6:50 am
72 Temple Owl

ah, good that you do not have that task. what's for sides?
6:51 am
rubyfoo

We used to go to Switzerland to buy the turkey, usually more than 100 dollars. Here they eat turkey only at Christmas
6:51 am
Scrabbler

Mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing, biscuits, gravy, roasted veggies, and pies.
6:51 am
MollyL

Ruby, if it were not for circumstances, you would be a guest at my Thanksgiving table.
6:51 am
72 Temple Owl

my brother has a habit of inviting me late. a bit tired of it.
6:51 am
rubyfoo

<-- Molly is the best!
6:52 am
Scrabbler

Owl, where does he think you will have dinner?
6:52 am
72 Temple Owl

i saw an article on msn about the amazing ingriedient for swqeet potatoes. i am thinking of suing since i've made them that way for years. on my own.
6:53 am
Scrabbler

Maple syrup?
6:53 am
rubyfoo

haha
6:53 am
72 Temple Owl

i have no idea. half invited in MD but that would be stressful in all ways.
6:54 am
72 Temple Owl

no, it was so bizarre to see it in print. i got tired of the syyrupy product that passed as canided yams so made a bit lighter version with ORANGE JUICE
6:55 am
72 Temple Owl

still use butter, but less. nice fresh taste, cuts down on brown sugar. zest is nice as well.
6:55 am
72 Temple Owl

maple syrup would be great. don't tell readers digest. ;)
6:56 am
72 Temple Owl

not goopy sticky.
6:57 am
MollyL

I make a mashed sweet potato casserole with a butter/brown sugar/flour/coconut/pecan topping. It is really good.
6:58 am
72 Temple Owl

sounds nice. i think i've had a casserole, sans coconut.
6:58 am
MollyL

It is one of those use coconut or don't recipes. My clan likes it with.
6:59 am
72 Temple Owl

i make a thin syrup out of juice, butter- melting butter always uses lessp and juice, then add roasted potatoes, finish off in the oven to thicken and meld.
6:59 am
rubyfoo

Since l'm alone, l just wrap them in aluminum, bake for a couple of hours and serve with butter and sour cream
7:00 am
rubyfoo

Still after that elusive kilo
7:00 am
72 Temple Owl

we never had sweet potatoes for the holiday growing up. just mashed.
7:00 am
72 Temple Owl

i peel and steam them for the recipe.
7:00 am
Scrabbler

I passed halfway. Time to get on with my day--shopping for mom and visiting her. See you in the morning.
7:01 am
rubyfoo

bye scrabs
7:01 am
72 Temple Owl

scrabs, are yo seeing a flu like illness up there? chills and fever, stomach ache?
7:01 am
BzznBea

We have sweet potatoes once a week here. Either baked, mashed, or fried.
7:02 am
72 Temple Owl

my grandma made them, baked till the skin was black. i hated them as a kid, but try to have one baked every week.
7:02 am
rubyfoo

76 left, and the >>>8, Always the 8!!!
7:16 am
MollyL

A little Thanksgiving trivia, that sweet potato and marshmallow recipe that so many people love was started by a marshmallow company. (I have always wondered how that got to be such a thing for Thanksgiving)
7:21 am
72 Temple Owl

i think the same about green bean casserole.
7:21 am
72 Temple Owl

french fried oions in a can. who even thought that up?
7:34 am
Tabbycat2

BzzbBea, have you tried roasted sweet potatoes? Peeled, cut in chunks, tossed with olive oil and lemon pepper and roasted on a sheet pan, it's my favorite way now.
7:36 am
Tabbycat2

I do other veggies the same way...white potatoes, carrots, hard squash, onions ...love the way it caramelizes them.

sweet potato "fries" Don't even need to peel them, just scrub, cut into long wedges, then toss with olive oil and seasoning and roast at 425, turn once. crispy and caramelized

won't be quite as nice, but she decided that since David rarely sees him (nor Jeremy and his family) it would be a good idea. I don't think anyone else agrees with her, but his sister and brother are happy to be seeing us all

oh my, we were chatting earlier about sweet potatoes for the holiday. watching a chef with sweet potatoe whip made with grand marnier.
7:51 am
Dorens

i'll be good.
7:52 am
72 Temple Owl

welk how goes it?
7:52 am
rururocks

that actually works well TO.. I've made it.. you use orange juice and grand Marnier and orange zest and a crumbled amaretto cookie topping
7:52 am
Dorens

I've never understood why they take sweet potatoes, which are naturally sweet and tasty, and mess them up with a lot of sugar and marshmallows. Most sweet potato dishes are more like dessert than a vegetable. Not my taste.
7:52 am
Dorens

That does certainly sound better
7:53 am
welki

doing okay, owl - thanks
7:54 am
72 Temple Owl

i developed years ago a lightened candied sweet potato recipe - i do not like mashed- with organe juice and saw this as a revelation on line this week. i may sue. ;)
7:55 am
72 Temple Owl

juice replaces much sugar, not disgustingly syrupy sugary.
7:55 am
Dorens

much better..
7:56 am
72 Temple Owl

tastier. orange makes the potatoes so fresh.
7:56 am

In my experience with Legos, there is no such thing as a "moderately priced Lego set".
7:57 am
rururocks

i could never eat green bean casserole
7:59 am
72 Temple Owl

well, what is the price point? buying for giving tree. the requests were so sweet, but i am thinking if i take one child , i should also tkae his brother, so both get sort of the same gift point of view.
7:59 am
welki

guess it depends on what your idea of 'moderate' is - amazon has some sets for $16
8:00 am
welki

(they also have some at $160!)
8:00 am
72 Temple Owl

i was thinking in the $20-$25 range. i want to sponsor both kids.
8:01 am
welki

they have lots in between, owl
8:01 am
72 Temple Owl

i think they each wanted something else, but do not remember. smaller things. lots of kids said "anything"
8:02 am
72 Temple Owl

if it's the only thing they are gettting, it should be a bit better than baisc, but not those village $100 things.
8:02 am
MollyL

16$ for a Lego set? That is great. I guess my kids always asked for the more expensive ones.
8:02 am
72 Temple Owl

i have another community question. has anyone here ever purchased and used a FrostGuard winsheild coverfor their vehicle?
8:04 am
welki

it's hard to buy for kids when you don't know what their interests are - especially for teens/pre-teens
8:04 am
72 Temple Owl

for toy dirves i tend to go classic- games, arts sets, trucks, etc.
8:04 am

absolutely not. North central FL gets low thirties and even if I don't use it for snow the frost can be really thick. last year I used it lots.

serious question from a student - "why doesn't the teacher give us the study guide with all the answers filled in? If I had that, I could study. When I have to find out the answers myself, they might not be right, and then I will have studied the wrong thing. Why do we have to find the answers ourself?" me: slams head into desk until it's numb

9:28 am
mkg

the ability to do hard work or thinking is disappearing......
9:29 am
Trifioso

god bless her, I think the problem is, that somewhere along the line a desperate teacher probably DID provide that for students, in a last ditch effort to get them to learn ANYTHING - problem is, that is no way to learn at all.
9:29 am
Judi

Double wow. I would save that question for the next parent/teacher conference and pose the same question to the parent(s).
9:30 am
NatashaW

Our entire education system has always rewarded being able to regurgitate the "correct" answers over encouraging and nurturing independent thought. My kid got an F on an English paper. I called the teacher (only time I ever did this). Why the F? It was well written and well argued. "I didn't like his premise," quotha.

my husband went to phillips academy in Andover mass. a fine prep school. his prof. in american history told him that even 25 years ago he could not assign the kids all the books to read that he assigned when my husband was his student because the kids cant sit still and read and cant get through it........TV was his feeling of what ruined it. very sad.
9:30 am
Judi

Google will tell us everything.
9:30 am
mkg

my husband is now an MD and sees the younger MDs unable to think outside the box.
9:30 am

dont even get me started on the parents - they would probably ask us why were weren't giving her the answers
9:30 am
Trifioso

phillips academy is a GREAT school
9:31 am

but it was much different in the 1960s......today it is a watered down version...........
9:31 am

off to work. back later.
9:31 am
Trifioso

that is some bullsh*t right there, natasha, I am so sorry - that would NEVER happen in my class
9:32 am
NatashaW

Everything is watered down. Adults now read YA "literature." Even my son, who's no slouch in the brains dept, says he hasn't got the patience to read War and Peace.
9:32 am
Trifioso

to be fair, a LOT of YA now is excellent - very well written with great themes. I can't write off the entire genre.
9:33 am
Trifioso

and War and Peace DOES require a commitment, for sure. From my point of view, 140 characters and texting have RUINED the ability to craft longer, well worded essays, letters, etc.
9:33 am
NatashaW

I'm not writing it off! It's very appropriate for young people.
9:33 am
Judi

I have always loved to read, however, War and Peace never appealed to me at all.
9:34 am
NatashaW

Best book I ever read. Took me 4 tries to get into it. Chapter 1 is tough going. But after that it is the finest piece of literature ever (IMHO)
9:34 am
Trifioso

i absolutely love to read, but Im an english teacher, so there you go....apple --> tree
9:34 am
Trifioso

the "peace" part appeals, lol
9:34 am
Judi

Never could get started on Moby Dick either.
9:36 am
Trifioso

I try to mix up my reading - fiction and non. I tend to read a lot more non fiction, and do like to challenge myself to read what are considered "substantial" or at least "classic" books when I have the time to devote to heavier reading, like during breaks. Moby Dick just about did me in last summer - what a miserable slog! Other books, like Anna Karenina, have become good friends
9:36 am
NatashaW

Anyway the teacher backed down after admitting the paper was both well written and cogently argued. He got a C for failing to think like her.
9:36 am
bichon

What I didn't like about college in the 60's: you had to take a foreign language up to 5 semesters. One class we had to read Don Quixote in old Spanish.
9:36 am
NatashaW

LOVE Anna Karenina. The scene where Levin is scything the field and spots Kitty riding by in a carriage...
9:37 am
Trifioso

The two that have me beat are Ulyssess and A Confederancy Of Dunces. Once I put them down I just could NOT pick them up again
9:37 am
Trifioso

I REALLY hate that Natasha - UGH!
9:37 am
NatashaW

I have discovered the key to James Joyce is not reading it but hearing it read aloud. Went to a Bloomsday on Broadway event in NYC one year and finally understood him!
9:38 am
NatashaW

Wait, I thought you liked Anna K/
9:38 am
Trifioso

I would have produced a copy of the syllabus and asked her to show you where "must think exactly like me" is a required element to succeed in this class
9:38 am
Trifioso

no, no, i really hate what the teacher said to you
9:49 am
Trifioso

lololol - i told a student how proud I was of the hard work he has done today, and he smiled and said "THX muchacho!" which both made me chuckle, and underscores my point here about the influence of texting

SMOKE MASKS - Important for anyone can SEE the smoke, is coughing, or is within 100 miles of California wildfires. Do not settle for a drugstore or surgical mask. It is not "better than nothing"- it IS nothing. Try a good hardware store for a P-100 mask or if you have any breathing problem, an N95 respirator.

Another question from a new babblet: if lickety gets closed the list is gone? wondering if it is just my computer... Accidentally closed and all cells are empty. I'll save the list if that is the case. Thx!
