i was going to go through and finish something I’d started a couple of years ago, but never got around to finishing.
My brain is still swimming around with to do with this next project.
I think I might try to write an record an ep this weekend to see how it goes.
I’m listening to Adam Carolla talk about family Thanksgiving.
As a kid, we were overseas so often I only got a couple of those. The last one I really have memories of was riding down I-95 next to a very excited Golden Retriever puppy who would get carsick.
This.
Yeah, there’s not much I can identify with that.
We were so spread out across the world that it didn’t happen all that often.
There were a few times where we went to the mess hall so my dad could eat with the people he was commanding.
There was often one or more bachelor officers and soldiers who were invited guests to eat with us.
Nobody would have ever even considered bitching about the Mac & Cheese.
I just realized that maybe part of the reason I’m partial to the Lions’ game is because it was playing in the evening in Germany.
But I think the idea of traditional Thanksgiving might be part of what’s got me on the try-all-the-things-people-used-to-rave-about kick.
I realized a few months ago that I’d never actually had Maxwell House coffee.
Part of that could have been the period where I got out of drinking coffee for a while, but my parents were always Folger’s people….until there were other things coming in at the Commissary, and they got a Braun coffee grinder.
My mom, on one of her antique store trips, found a cookbook from the White House. The calculations take a lot of time to cut the recipes down to a consumable size, but these things were saved for a reason — by and large, they were really fucking good!
These things take time to prepare, but I think the payoff is worth it.
I would like to do some things, myself, but it’s not an issue I’m excited to debate.
I’ve written enough, now, I think. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
Almost finished.
