Old Man Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Tomorrow, I will eat turkey and stuffing, which is my third favorite food in the universe, twice. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday, though of course it helps that my family is relatively drama free. Mmmmm.... stuffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinKitty Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I really must learn to make stuffing from scratch. All my life I've been eating the Stove Top stuff, which is instant and full of High-Fructose Corn Syrup and Hydrogenated oil. BunnySue makes her own awesome homemade stuffing with sausage, but it is too spicy for me. OddHat loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I actually find Stove Top to be hard to beat. So hard, in fact, that I have been known to eat it as an entree. Although I'm well aware of how healthy it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread After seeing a chiropractor yesterday, I can now open my mouth more than 2cm. It was only about 2.5cm at the session, but something seems to have moved out of the way and I have almost full movement again. Which is handy today.

L. Marcus Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Later today I'm off northwards on my first internship, kind of thing. It's a week-long stint in a village of two thousand people just south of the arctic circle in the depth of what promises to be a cold and snowy winter -- and I couldn't be more stoked if I was going to the Kendo world cup!

SatinKitty Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread My wonderful Husband went to Black Friday in the wee hours while I slept. When I came down this morning, there was a beautiful Christmas tree with lights lit and a present to be opened Christmas underneath. He had also baked two pumpkin pies for our second dinner with his family. My Husband is the best in the World !!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnySue makes her own awesome homemade stuffing with sausage, but it is too spicy for me. OddHat loves it. My wife has a winner that uses the bread cubes from the bakery (essentially unseasoned croutons), bacon, mushrooms (that have been whirred around in a food processor to make little shreds of mushrooms: too many people like the taste of mushrooms but find the texture objectionable), dried cranberries, and drippings from the bird pan (only part of them; the rest go to become gravy). There may be more to it than that; I'll ask. EDIT: First is a "duh". It's not pan drippings; it's broth from boiling the neck and giblets with onion, celery, and herbs for several hours. There's some other vegetables that have been whirred to little bits in the food processor, too. Yet more onion and celery at the very least.

Iuz the Evil Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I have accepted a job offer for a substantial promotion with a very reputable social services organization in my area (after 8 years with my current org). They really wanted me, and I negotiated a very nice and happy package for myself (never been taken out to lunch so many times by a prospective employer either, that was nice). I am very thankful, and look forward to starting. Also, I fixed my password and am posting on the board again. While many may question whether that is in fact, "nice and happy", I think it is.
