  1. Back home now, so here's some assorted Animal Crossing pics from this past weekend.

    We celebrated Turkey Day. I visited two of my nephew's islands and dropped them off some bells so they could pay off some loans. I also celebrated Kabuki's birthday.

    Solid long weekend.

  2. It is dark. I am likely to be eaten by a grue. But the turkey is close to target temperature #turkeyday

  3. It's getting darker and misting rain, but I'm still having a good time #turkeyday

  4. My neighbors did the sweetest thing. They saw me doing dishes in the front window, and they knocked on it and scared the SHIT out of me. But they thought I didn't have food so they brought a plate over. That's very sweet!

    But I did cook a full Dinosaur Day menu, it's just that it was for one. Remember my roommate left?

    So I assured them that I had plenty of food and thanked them gratefully.

    And of course I HAD dirty dishes because of all the food I made.

  5. History Of Thanksgiving

    Cool, here’s a more in-depth look at the history of Thanksgiving — how it evolved, some of the lesser-known facts, and how it became what we celebrate today.

    Thanksgiving didn’t start as a clean, one-time “Pilgrims and Native Americans sit down for turkey” story. Sure, there was that 1621 harvest feast between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag people — but the reality of that gathering was more complex. The colonists probably hunted duck or geese, and the Wampanoag likely brought venison.  That 1621 event was more of a multi-day harvest festival than a fixed holiday.

    Over the following centuries, different colonies and states held days of “thanksgiving”—usually as religious days of prayer, often when something major happened (like a drought ending or a war victory). These weren’t uniform: different places celebrated on different days.

    The idea of a national, annual Thanksgiving really took off thanks to **Sarah Josepha Hale**, an editor and writer. For decades she pushed for a unified national holiday — writing letters, editorials, and generally campaigning. Her persistence paid off when **Abraham Lincoln**, in the middle of the Civil War, proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 (on the last Thursday of November) to help bring the country together.

    After Lincoln, presidents continued to issue Thanksgiving proclamations almost every year, but the exact date bounced around a little. Then, in the 20th century, **Franklin D. Roosevelt** caused a stir: in 1939, he moved Thanksgiving earlier — to give Americans more time to shop before Christmas. Many people weren’t thrilled (“Franksgiving,” anyone?), and states were split on which date to follow. Eventually, in 1941, Congress passed a law officially fixing Thanksgiving on the **fourth Thursday in November**.

    As Thanksgiving evolved, so did its traditions. Over time it became less about strictly religious observance and more about family, food, and gratitude.  Things like parades and football games became tied to the holiday. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, for example, started in the 1920s and became a huge national tradition.

    Finally, there are modern traditions too: things like volunteering, food drives, and even the presidential “turkey pardon” — where a live turkey is spared from being eaten.

  12. Good news, everyone! It's Friday! Before you push to prod and log off for turkey, remember that Starbucks Workers United is still on strike against Starbucks for unfair labor practices.

    The union's demands are straightforward:

    1. More hours to improve staffing levels
    2. Higher take-home pay
    3. Stop union-busting

    As you travel, visit family (blood and chosen), shop on Black Friday, and prepare for the depths of winter, don't cross the picket line.

    No contract? No coffee!

  13. This is one of our favorite family recipes. A deliciously aromatic take on a cold-weather classic: sweet potatoes baked in a buttery, maple-vanilla glaze with warming spices, finished with a hint of rosemary and sea salt for a subtle herbal note.

  14. Turkey roasting in the oven with harvest stuffing (moist stuffing with carrots, mushroom, leek, celery, apple, craisins), roasted candied yams, baby carrots fresh harvested from the garden with a hint of curry and fresh parsley, mashed potato, gravy, green beans, and (of course) homemade apple *and* pumpkin pie for dessert.

    The house smells wonderful, and I’m hungry! Happy Thanksgiving!
    (Happy leftovers day to everyone who feasted yesterday!)
