Fortunately, important index finger was in the glove.

I, unfortunately, don’t have a photo of the apple pie I baked yesterday, but I do have proof it briefly existed as I tried to catch with a non-glove hand during a removing from oven mishap. Also as I’m missing fingerprints currently, now would be the time for crime suggestions.

Aspen Oversized Mug + Reviews | Crate & Barrel https://www.crateandbarrel.com/aspen-15-oz.-porcelain-white-mug/s256870 Described as 15 oz When brimmed with water, measured as shown. ~ 2.2 English Breakfast Cups. Discuss.

From Wikipedia 1 breakfast cup = 8 British imperial fluid ounces = ⁠4/5 tumbler = 1 1/3 cups = 1⁠ 3/5 teacups = 3⁠ 1/5 coffee cups = 4 wine glasses = ⁠2/5 British imperial pint ≈ 7.69 US customary fluid ounces ≈ 0.96 US customary cup ≈ 227.3 millilitres ≈ 0.91 metric cup The mind boggles. I actually had no idea what the markings on our kettle actually meant; now I know Hahaha! Just checked our very British kettle - and it is calibrated in metric units up to a maximum of 1.7 litres. So so much for the British Imperial fluid ounce red herring.

^^ Hmmm. Gotta start measuring in Breakfast cups now.. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I'm going to be fine Brent. Thanks for your concern.

Damn delicious if I do say so myself!

For a guy who never gets sick, sure sounds like you're getting sick a lot lately. You get all those vaccines? Prolly the 'tism acting up.

When I was a kid my Mom made the same Thanksgiving dishes every year. One of them was green bean casserole. Probably like many of your Moms made too. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. Canned green beans, French's fried onions and cream of mushroom soup. Like many vegetables and other dishes of my childhood I didn't know that I liked them until I was living on my own and tasted the fresh version. So I thought the concept (Trump joke) of green bean casserole was good. But what if it was elevated to using fresh ingredients? So today I set out to test that theory. I trimmed and sautéed about 3 pounds of green beans. Then sliced and sautéed a large amount of mushrooms in butter and white wine. I decided that making my own fried onions might not be worth the extra effort, so French's fried onions it was. In place of cream of mushroom soup, I used cream of celery soup, as I like the flavor better and had already incorporated fresh mushrooms into the dish. I have enough for a small army, as I had planned to take this to Al's before catching a cold. How is it? Well it has about 15 more minutes to bake, so I'll let you know later. You can't tell, but there are two layers of everything in the dish.

Fancy a Cuppa in a hurry?

Hope you feel better soon.

Bourbon pecan pie.

Well I definitely have something. Haven't tested for covid yet, but will later. No cough at all though. Just my usual cold symptoms, which means just a stuffy nose. Musinex is effectively handling that. I have several pounds of Green beans, a ton of mushrooms and fried onions that I was going to turn into an elevated version of Green bean casserole. Not quite sure what to do with it. I guess I'll make it up later and try freezing in portions. Sorry Al. As for myself, I'm going to start my Thanksgiving with biscuits and gravy. Not the traditional meal I had been looking forward to, but still a favorite of mine. Still, this far better than my worst Thanksgiving. In 1983 I had flown to Juneau, Alaska for a new job building a mall. I flew the evening before Thanksgiving. Got into my hotel and went to sleep. Thanksgiving day I woke up to find everything in walking distance completely closed up. Even to hotel Cafe was closed. I had candy bars from a vending machine for Thanksgiving dinner. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Indeed!! My mom said his kids took it hard when he left for the rocket but were excited to see him in the ISS itself.

Arrived

I saw the launch as well. Looked like a hell of a ride to be strapped to that thing. Glad he made it safe!

Thanks Ric! Something was meant to be, we had a power blip at ~3:45am EST and my alarm keypad beeping woke me up. Managed to watch the launch as well! Time for caffeine....a whole fucking bunch of it! 🤣 Have a 3.5-4 hour (if I'm lucky) drive in a bit.....

Congrats to Chris! Perfect launch.* *to time with my middle of the night switch from legs to breasts in the sous vide.
