I don't even know you anymore

Mostly because moireach asked about Thanksgiving:

On the bright side, and most sides are at least a little shiny these days, Thanksgiving wasn't as traumatizing as I thought that it would be. It was the first major holiday without The 'Rent and it went smoothly. I panicked almost everyday leading up to Wednesday, obsessing over dinner and if I would get the pies right.

Now, let's be reminded that I've been the one to cook Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for the last five years with minimal supervision. I think it was mostly just the idea that she wasn't there if I needed her. Turns out I was a-okay with the exception of one pie and the candied yams.I left the eggs out of the pie I sent to Pigskin and added to much liquid to the candied yams so they were soupy. Cleatus and I worked it out, however, and ended up adding eggs to the mixture and popping it back into the oven. As a result the candied yams looked like sweet potato pie with marshmallows on top, although the flavor was different.

We ate until we burst and then watched War of the Worlds (more on that later). There was plenty of sweets and the leftovers lasted for four days. I think we done good.

And what about you, my sweets. I've been absent of late, mostly because my modem was being a complete tease, but also because I couldn't actually be bothered to turn on my computer. So, what's up with you guys lately? Where's the fic, the meta, what did I miss besides TBQ's birthday and Goblet of Fire (which I will be going to see)?


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, thebratqueen



I'm busy rounding up my favorite fic of '05. Is there anything out there that I should be considering? Let's not forget that this has NOT been my readingest year ever.

Okay, darlin's -- Speak to me ...
