Worriedman posted the other day about the famous Hot Brown sandwich of Louisville, which is magnificent, and I wish to report a Thanksgiving leftover rendition that is a fair holiday knockoff and just as decadent.
Bake up some cheddar biscuits (the Red Lobster box mix is fine, just omit the garlic butter sauce.) Fry up some bacon and whip up a little Mornay sauce -- butter and flour roux which you enrich by whisking in cream and finish with Gruyere cheese and a bit of nutmeg if you like.
Slice the biscuits and plate them for an open-faced sandwich. Top with hot sliced turkey, sliced tomato, the Mornay sauce and crumbled bacon.
Once again, I spent the morning doing a substack page. The usual. Critters, sunrise, moonrise, flowers and, in honor of today's shitty weather , snow. There's a great poem you've known since you were a kid but probably forgot. All that...You should go look !
I thought about it. I offered the guys of my former job a big bag of weed for a big bag of amaryllis. Turns out this was a bad year for them. They couldn't get nearly enough to meet the demand.
Next year I'll have the greenhouse set up and I should be able to have plenty of plant material in the house for the winter. There's a lot of stuff you can grow all winter long if you're set up for it.
Well, the roughest work week I've had this year (so far) is done. Wicked 2 and Zootopia 2 were just as unforgiving as I'd expected, though not as bad overall as the Wicked/Disney combo we had this time last year. Had to call out of yesterday's shift on account of exhaustion- and stress-induced vomiting. Still, getting through six shifts in a row (two from last week, four from this), five of them 9-5s plus Turkey Day night (ironically, the least bullshit shift I had) isn't too shabby, I suppose.
I was late getting up this morning, and emerged to both Hazel and Avalon loudly singing the song of their people, because they understand that this endows me with special powers to pull their breakfast together at super speed.
I am hoping that this little exercise in unity will help them to bond faster.
We had our first really cold night of the season. Paul had us all snuggling in with a big fire in the wood stove and his coat spread out over the wood pile for this guy.
There were three contented kitties and one old broad with arthritis and sciatica soaking up the heat and snuggled under a blanket with a large tuxedo unit curled up on my lap. It was a great night.
First, the Chavez/Maduro regime manipulated the 2020 election to defeat Trump. Then they manipulated the Epstein File using laser-activated voting machines and Signal accounts. This Maduro terrorism and election interference must be stopped or you won't have a country anymore.
Declaring war on Venezuela because of imaginary drug smuggling while pardoning an actual convicted drug dealer. What could possibly be the reason for this? Hmmmm? Ever heard of Narco-capitalism?
Yes. Of course he is. Explains why he's openly attacking a country that doesn't participate in drug trafficking. I suspect the ICE raids are to keep the human trafficking going without detection.
There is no reason, nothing makes sense, and he'll never be asked about any of it. If he is, he'll call it "fake news" and tell the reporter they are a terrible person and ugly. And we'll move on to the next crime.
Someone told me a while ago that Mormon kids were "putting it in" but not moving around so it didn't "count" as sex. A friend yelled out, "But that's the BEST PART of the hokey pokey!"
I used to wonder about this with the Batmobile. Surely the rocket exhaust is bad for, say, cars and pedestrians unlucky enough to be behind you? And what does all that heat do to the asphalt?
that's sort of a gimmee, isn't it? although I could see the thought percolating into his dementia-riddled mind that this is, in fact, an actual achievable aspiration now.
When my kid was in NZ for a semester the time change was two hours and not on the same date we change over here. That was bananas and I didn't catch on for a hot sec.
I was so sick this weekend I missed all the cool movie nights! 😢
Ok, I am gonna go do something else for awhile. Take care everyone. Peace out.

"Don't get saucy with *me*, Béarnaise"!
I went to Oogle and now I want a Hot Brown.
Do NOT confuse it with a Hot Carl!
Oh, hell yes! That sounds sooo good. I have everything except the Gruyere...do you think Brie or Swiss would work?
In my opinion, Brie makes everything delicious - I'd go for it.
Swiss would be fine, or even cheddar. I think Brie would overpower the dish.
Either would work. Swiss would be more like Gruyere. Brie would be different but yummy also.

I have never lived where it snowed. I love looking at pics of it though!
Montara Mountain used to see a bit of snow on occasion.

Man, that's pretty.

Maybe you need to buy a few amaryllis bulbs to help with your mental health!

Oh, you mean Paul, the notorious hater of cats, right?
That is one contented kitty.
There were three contented kitties and one old broad with arthritis and sciatica soaking up the heat and snuggled under a blanket with a large tuxedo unit curled up on my lap. It was a great night.
We still only have a dusting. In other news, I feel like I need a therapist to unpack this holiday.
You and me both. If you need to get up to the cabin for a breather you know the door is open.
That's lovely of you!

The old Red Scare ploy, and we fell for it.
Well, "we" didn't. They rigged it. It was a hoax. They stole it.
Sad and funny how that "you won't have a country anymore" works on his rubes.
Too late. We don't have a country anymore already.

I got that one right away, but I struggled too long with Saudi Arabia yesterday.

Hubs thinks its because turnip is getting kickbacks from the Mexican cartels.
Yes. Of course he is. Explains why he's openly attacking a country that doesn't participate in drug trafficking. I suspect the ICE raids are to keep the human trafficking going without detection.
He has been leaving them alone after all his saber rattling.
That's Bukele's deal in El Salvador. He pays MS-13 to not cause him trouble.
Which I could kinda support. If it were coupled with a comprehensive policy agenda that gave people options other than a life of crime.
But Bukele is just a fascist who wants to wet his beak in every way.

Let's pay him whatever he wants to fuck off in to the sun.
Many have tried. Then he comes back for more.
No one would be mad if he just took all of Elmo’s stuff
Not the Children of the Musk, though. Those poor kids have a hard enough road ahead of them as is.
More like Children of The Husk! (corn)
They can get jobs like the rest of us
You funny!
Hasn't he disowned most of them anyway?
Just his firstborn, as far as I know. At least she was smrt enuf to change her name and escape.

All he has to do is raid the treasury. (LOL, he's probably already done that.)
Yeah he’s done that. And so many just let him.
No it is not 9:30 yet, Mr Wall Clock. Time for another adjustment.

Mine just got stuck, period. For 3 days it read 3:47pm.
Luckily, it restarted...this time.
