"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
1. How do you cook your turkey? (Stuffing, spices, cooking bag, etcetera) I don't! Cooking turkeys is my mother's department. The day that mom can no longer do it will be the day that I have Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant. Lady Starlight does not cook!
2. What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Mmmmmm... Pumpkin pie!
3. What are you doing this year for Thanksgiving? The same old same old. I'm going to my mom's for an early dinner. Afterwards, I'm taking the boys to their other grandma's home for yet another dinner. I'm not staying there. Argh! Insanity! I wonder if there are any good movies opening on Thanksgiving Day...
4. Do you have any family traditions at Thanksgiving? My brother almost always comes home for Thanksgiving. He watches the traditional Detroit game on TV and we eat dinner during halftime. At some point in the day a heated argument usually breaks out. It just wouldn't be right if it didn't. Another disfunctional family holiday...
5. What one dish does it just not feel like Thanksgiving without besides turkey? If you're having turkey, you MUST have cranberry sauce!
And now for a brunch with international appeal...
Air Travel
"Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price." ~ Amelia Earhart ~
1. Do you enjoy travelling by air? It beats the hell out of a long road trip if you can afford it and have the patience to tolerate the ridiculous post-9/11 security. I have neither, so it has been quite a while since my last flight.
2. Do you typically check a bag when you fly or carry on? When I took flights in the past, I checked my large suitcase and carried on a smaller bag containing a few essentials.
3. Has an airline ever lost your bag? Describe what happened and if you were compensated by the airline. Thank the dear lord, this has never happened to me!
4. Do you eat the airline food? On a seven and a half hor transatlantic flight... What do you think? Of course I ate it. I've had worse, hospital food, for example.
5. What do you do to pass the time when you fly? Watch the movie, listen to music, nap, and converse with my travelling companion. If I were to take a flight now, I might play around on my laptop computer which would definitely be in my carry-on bag.
It's Time For Sunday Brunch!
