All this food sounds great. I'll set the table with with fine china and candle light. Lenox or Phaltzgraph? Modern or traditional? White wine or red? or maybe both?
Great friends, delicious food and a fantastic hostess -- what a perfect holiday feast!!!
I was thinking of bringing the turkey (not me, ha ha!) but since Honey Baby has that covered, I'll have to think of something else...
I can't wait to try Jessie's swiss chard, sauteed in olive oil and garlic, and of course those yummy garlic mashed potatoes that Faith's bringing ... Kathryn's got the stuffing covered (and I love asparagus!) ... that banana split cheese cake sounds wonderful ... hmmmm, there seems to be plenty of alcohol but I'll bring some more wine, just to be sure we don't run out -- but watch out, I'll be grabbing the mic from Paula! And Lord only knows what Dana has in mind with that tequila and handcuffs, but sounds like one helluva party!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I'm here now so pour me a glass of wine and let's get it goin!
Thanks Heather, I just woke up -- had a little hangover after partying here last night. No one showed up, so I drank the whole bottle myself. I remember I was singing kareoke and I think I sounded like I could be the next American Idol. That made me a little hungry so I took a leeetle piece of turkey, and the next thing you know I woke up this morning naked and handcuffed to the keyboard ... (Good thing Allison hadn't set the table with the good china yet!)
I think folks got tired of waiting for me and left, but now we need to call them back so we can get this thing going.
Anyway -- H A P P Y Day Before T H A N K S G I V I N G!! **Better known as CD (Cooking Day) LOL!
Let's do it!!!! I am here and ready to force my horrible voice upon all my closest friends....after which I want to give a Linus-y Peanuts type speech.
I just requested "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Foundations for both of us to sing together, I always do that one with my girlfriends ... Here's the mic, are you ready?
Whyyyyyyyyyy do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin' You know that I have from the start So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again But you're late, I wait around and then I went to the door, I can't take any more It's not you, you let me down again
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find (Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine (Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home I'll be beside the phone waiting for you Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo .....
Woohoo! A party for Bonnie! What a great idea, Heather! I'm a terrible cook, so I will bring over something special: when I first joined Gather, I read an article Bonnie wrote, and it inspired this little poem, which I dedicated to Bonnie:
So many articles make up the whole Endlessly trying to fill in the hole Building the puzzle one piece at a time Some work with prose, some others with rhyme Do we write out our problems in hopes of solution Or write once we've managed to find resolution? Some say too many cooks spoil the soup, Others prefer seeking help from the group. A puzzle indeed, with pieces galore With each hole we fill we discover three more The answer is out there, but I'd bet my socks We're working with pieces from more than one box.
That is such an awesome poem Dannielle!!!! I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends to share this holiday with. I'm working tomorrow morning so I am enjoying these pre-holiday virtual festivities with you guys.
...And Dannielle, you should publish that poem. It's too good to be hiding in a comment!
