Early Thanksgiving Open Thread
We had our friendly elderly visitor coming over to our house earlier this evening and enjoyed some delicious Thanksgiving dinner which is turkey with cranberries, mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, candied yams and artichokes. Here’s the screenshot of the Thanksgiving dinner while spending time with the whole family:
This was good food on a happy early Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to watch this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow if there is a live stream for it available on YouTube. 🙂
‘Twas a rainy day today.
Today’s weather turned out to be a grey, rainy day this evening. My family and I were enjoying some tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches that San_San prepped for dinner, and it was some deliciously edible rainy day food. 🙂 After we’re all done eating dinner I whipped out my camera and snapped a cute cat pic of Stewie sitting on my raincoat that I laid out on my bed in my bedroom:
Last Open Thread of the Month
I have managed to complete my nature-related collection earlier this afternoon after pulling up some unwanted weeds and fake grass out back especially the ones from yesterday that my father mowed down some tall grass with the weed wacker. It was a collection of seeding dandelion puffballs that I carefully stored them all in my small rectangular wooden box without knocking the parachute seeds loose, and so far I counted a total of 24 puffballs. Here’s a picture of what I’m talking about:
So now I’ve got a good batch of white fuzzy puffy bubbles in a box. 😛 Anyways, my family and I enjoyed some delicious hot dogs that my mother cooked up for dinner since we had hamburgers for yesterday’s dinner. My compliments to the chef that hot dogs and hamburgers are both exquisitively delicious as long as they’re homemade. 🙂
After I got done eating dinner I went down in the garage to help my father mount two fittings from under the Mustang while I move to the passenger’s side of it and turn the tubes to the right several times in order to complete the process. Either way, we got all that car work done and out of the way for the night.
Open Thread! Have at it, ppl!
In tonight’s post: Dow Jones takes a big dump thanks to Twitler
My family and I had some homemade fried chicken topped with chopped red bell peppers and onions for dinner along with some salad and buttered French bread this evening. It sure is quite enjoyable and delicious. 🙂
And now for the bad news out in the real world, yesterday has been a rough day because the orange-faced Presidential lunatic Metamucilini has crashed the Wall Street stock market which caused the Dow Jones to plunge 600 points after declaring that all the people in China need to get out of there. I found a quote from an article at some website that includes parts of Twitler’s tweet after the stock market crash incident occurred:
Our Country has lost, stupidly, trillions of dollars with China over many years. They have stolen our intellectual property at a rate of hundreds of billions of dollars a year, & they want to continue. I won’t let that happen! We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them. The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP. I will be responding to China’s tariffs this afternoon. This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States. We will keep it that way!
My god, he really is a worthless piece of orange scum… I just hope he gets impeached and kicked out of the Presidential office for doing all the stupid things he had done since he was elected President against Hillary Clinton in back in 2016.
Thursday Evening Open Thread + A Lil’ Bit of TF2 Fun Time
Today’s weather turned out to be nice than last couple days ago. My sister Tomala made some delicious shrimp pasta for dinner this evening along with cooked vegetables which are diced bell peppers, onions and corn. Unfortunately I didn’t have a picture of it because I was too busy enjoying my food, but it was really good food by the way. 🙂
After I got done eating dinner I decided to have fun by playing TF2, and I have sold enough garbage to purchase some new stuff from the Steam market:
I’ve had such a good time playing around with various people on random online community servers tonight. Enjoy this open thread!
The Attack of the Many-Legged Alien Carrot
San_San found a large weird-looking carrot out in our garden earlier this afternoon. Here’s a picture of the carrot:
Yep, it has, like, five or six legs on that thing. I’ve never seen a good-sized oddly shaped carrot like this before. Anyway, San made us some Cobb salad for dinner after cutting up the carrots into little slices and then putting them on a tray filled other sliced vegetables such as celery, onions, etc.
I gotta say, it was a great garden-related family dinner. 🙂
Family Road Trip Open Thread
Yesterday my family and I went out on a family road trip to go visit our two friendly elderly cousins who live up in Portland for about 27 years, and we totally lucked out by helping them get us a ‘new’ car that we’re looking for because the first two tries on getting it didn’t go well as planned. Anyway, after we got done chatting over at our cousins’ house we went into a restaurant called The Old Spaghetti Factory for my sister Tomala’s birthday, and we chowed down on some delicious food like toasty cheesy ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, etc. We also ordered some good cocktail drinks like the White Russian and the Fruit Punch, plus we had some ice cream and spumoni for dessert after we finished our nice family dinner. 🙂
Then the next day we all went to an IHOP restaurant to have some breakfast earlier this morning. We had some delicious pancakes like the original Buttermilk pancake and the Chocolaty Chocolate Chip pancake which is what I ordered, some eggs, hash browns, bacon and sausages. After we got out of the IHOP restaurant and said goodbye to our cousins we drove all the way home so that we can plan on getting rid of our classic Oldsmobile by sending it to a local car dump.
So yeah, it sure was nice seeing our beloved cousins. Can’t wait to go visit them again someday now that we got a brand new transportation. 🙂
Friday Evening Open Thread: Operation Dinner Assistant
I was assisting San_San in the kitchen on getting ready for dinner. I mashed up the guacamole, stirred up the salsa that San made, and then used the food processor for the first time to shred some cheese with it.
We had some tacos along with some tortilla chips for dinner but unfortunately I do not have a picture of it because I was too busy spending time eating with my family, which is a good family activity to do. 🙂
Open Thread!
Friday Evening Open Thread: Cornbread Edition
San_San was helping me make the cornbread this evening to go along with the chili for dinner. Here’s a picture of the cornbread that I made:
And here’s a picture of the chili that San made:
Anyway, tonight’s dinner was delicious. 🙂 Now I’m at the point where I can make cornbread any other time while San is making something for dinner.
First Open Thread of the Month
We had our friendly visitor coming over earlier this gray, rainy day afternoon. San_San made us some delicious meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner along with the salad that our guest made. I have a picture of it right here:
San_San also made some freshly baked apple custard pie for dessert last night. Unfortunately I don’t have a photo of the pie but it was super tasty and it sure was nice seeing our visiting guest. 🙂
