The Great Commission Statement

Why am I doing this? Basically I want to get off my duff and do something! I'm sick of just passively watching the world spin down in what appears to be a great flaming death spiral not unlike that model airplane I torched when I was 9. So I've just had it; I have to do something. So by gum I'm starting a blog! (That showed 'em)

Main topics I hope to address (in no particular order):
Politics
Religion
Science
Food

Obviously I'm steering away from anything controversial.

On the food issue: what does one feed foodies on Thanksgiving if one is not much of a cook - hypothetically speaking, of course

The usual turkey day stuff is fine, we're not that bad of foodies are we?

I'm sure she is not talking about us,so, my suggestion is to keep it simple and make ONE dish that is over the top/special/new or different. That is what those food snobs will remember. That and how much trouble you went to to make it for them.
oh so nice of you....

Why don't you just spend $100 or whatever and buy a complete meal that feeds 6 from some hotel or restaurant that is running a T-day special? No fuss no muss. Just drive buy and pick it up a couple hours ahead of schedule. Seems like more and more that's the thing to do.

Thomas Hobbes (d. 1679) said the state of nature of a man is "... nasty, brutish, and short." In 2005, how is this the Republicans fault? Discuss.

that's a common misquotation, he said it was "nasty, BRITISH and short" and he was talking about Mrs. Hobbes...

hey, Mrs P -- I was thinking about what you said about 1 special dish. I've been watching "Babette's Feast" and "Eat Drink Man Woman" for ideas. What do you think: hog's head soup or fried squid eyes??

I told my sister today that I would eat a napkin if it was deep fried. The squid eyes would have to be a step up from that.

i saw canned vegetarian haggis at the british food shop down the road from me. and if that isn't a stand up line waiting to happen: british food! vegetarian haggis! i'm ROTFL already.

anyway, the shop has british style hours, so it's never open, but if it ever was i'm tempted to buy a can just to find out what goes into vegetarian haggis. who knew they could make vegetarian sheep's bladders.
