I've looked at that pic of Nancy in the kitchen lo these many years here on Wonkette but I STILL can't figure out WTF any of those food items are. Anyone??
Ronnie and Nancy were pretty much the architects of America's downfall. The horrors of Bush and TFG could not have happened without them.
I could go into the union busting, dismantling of the social safety net, massive transfer of wealth upward to the 1%, etc. etc., but I'll use just one example: Imagine how different the country would be *right now* if the "religious right" had not had 40 years of access to unbalanced, unmerited political power.
I'm making garlic rosemary turkey and egg noodles in a cream of chicken sauce, steamed sweet potatoes flavored with ginger, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and Allspice, and sausage pear stuffing. I haven't picked a dessert yet. I might want to get on that.
My sons and I used to make quick monkey bread using Pilsbury Grands Biscuits. Cut each one into 4 pieces, roll up, dunk in butter and then cinnamon sugar, toss into a bundt pan. Cook. Eat. They treated me like a food god.
As kids, we used to make some amazing pinwheel-type things with a similar recipe using the Crescent Roll dough. Our good family friends' kids LOVED them (I think we learned to make them in "Home Ec" in middle school) and whenever they would spend time at our house we always made sure to have the dough on hand. I should look up the recipe - it was a long time ago.
(As a sad aside, they are still good family friends - my Dad lives about a block away from them in a different state! - but one of the girls who used to help make them died from breast cancer ~ 1.5 years ago. RIP, Lisa. Sorry to be a downer here, just ... food memories are weird.)
Considering this is the Unofficial Off Topic Week celebrating Off Topic Things I have decided that it is time to celebrate contemporary artists who are also Indigenous People who have co-opted contemporary art to tell the stories Indigenous People want to tell.
Check out these three BadAss Artists on your google machine if you dare!
1. Rose Simpson. 'Total BadAss' hardly describes Rose Simpson. Rose ain't making pots or baskets for tourists to purchase in the open air markets of Santa Fe, NM. Rose is making something else altogether.
3. Rick Bartow. A Viet Nam War vet who carried a burden of PTSD. If you are interested in seeing visual evidence of the difficulty Indigenous artists experience in our world you might check out Rick Bartow. But do it AFTER Thanksgiving. Because Rick Bartow don't pull any punches.
I don't think any of these three has ever created any work showing happy pilgrims and happy indigenous people sitting down to eat food together. But if they did I can only imagine that my own take on 'Thanksgiving ' would be irretrievably altered forever.
First batch of meatballs is done (I think). I'm not putting in another batch until this one cools. Then I'll find the biggest one, cut it open and check that it's done.
I probably should have noted two things I didn't note.
1) How many I put in there because I'm not even sure I got them all out.
2) How long they cooked because I have no idea. So I'll have to do the same thing with next batch (pull them out, let cool, check if cooked). But next batch I'll pay attention to time because it's gonna take about six batches to make them all.
As always I program any new recipes into my own home built AI controlled Holographic Simulator and watch the process on my modified 3D printer before I try the recipe out in the material world.
Everything worked out fine. So I went about starting the Monkey Bread.
Imagine my surprise when I saw my AI controlled Holographic Simulator turn itself on and start the whole process again! Only the AI controlled Holographic Simulator changed the recipe! Now the recipe demanded SIX percocet and FIVE whiskey sours!
Long story short: my AI controlled Holographic Simulator has decided it loves me and I have had to demand that it go into rehab.
Group therapy: It SEEMS that negotiating is starting. We own 2 condos, 115 and 116. He owned 115 before we married. We used 20K in equity from 115 to buy 116. I want 116 plus the equity, and I THINK he has agreed, but I want to run it by the lawyer Monday.
He wants Termite (hell no), but we have agreed that he can take Termite on daily walks provided he keeps Termite when I travel. He has also agreed to be out of 115, where my office is located, so that I can have time to move it privately and without him in my space. Thankfully, he says he has to be out today for a while, so that will be a chance for me to get started.
You were so happy about the multiple-condo situation and now ... *waves hands* ... all of this shit is happening.
Good luck with the negotiations and move. I know that you are trying to be civil, but it seems like you might have a bit of leverage over him given what is going on with him and everything. This appears to be driven by a particular issue that is on him is all I am saying.
People who aren't dimwits who can back it up with primary sources? When asshats ask questions like this, it should always be turned back on them: how do 𝘺𝘰𝘶 discern what's true, motherfucker? Or are you arguing against the concept of truth itself?
I'm always surprised to hear that the government was coordinating with social media companies to curb the spread of misinformation, and conservatives inevitably cry that they're silencing conservatives. Conservative misinformation has never been hard to find on social media. If the government was doing anything at all, it was like trying to drain the ocean with a thimble.
Nancy "cooking" something racist for Ronnie and America is truly my favorite Thanksgiving tradition.
I loathed and detested the Rayguns, but I love me some Ken Layne.

Not I.

"Making monkey bread" was Nancy's codespeak for, "fucking Frank Sinatra."

Next can we have Ronnie's recipe for Ape Sweetbread from the Bedtime For Bonzo wrap party?
that's how he contracted Kuru or Creutzfeld-Jakob (similar to mad cow disease/
spongiform encephalopathy)

May her memory always be a blessing.

2. Kent Monkman. Oh. My. God. I have no words to say because I must bow my face down in the dirt right now and say no more.

These recipes are one of my favorite holiday traditions. Also those cakes we like.

6 per bag. I love meatballs.
This is a big project. It will take the better part of a week to complete. But I'll have food for months when I'm done.
I'm just not consistent about it. When it's gone I'll be eating out at work again for a year until I get motivated to do it again.

He turned into someone other than who I thought I married.
That's my plan.

He’s a right little twerp, that one.
You're being kind......
FAR too.
Went to Publix this morning and they were all out of monkey meat.
Try Whole Foods.
But I don't want a whole monkey. Just the wings.
So you're making the Dorothy recipe.
They did have Ground Dorothy.
It's a must this time of year.
It was those red sparkly bits in there that I couldn't identify but didn't look like food. It's like Glitter Meat.
Gamera is a good substitute.
He's a friend to children everywhere.
Kids go running for the rich taste of Gamera!
Would Mikey eat it?
I'll go back.
I only eat the obnoxious monkeys.
