12319. rdbrewer - 11/27/2004 6:32:11 PM Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. 12320. wonkers2 - 11/27/2004 6:33:49 PM Visited the Bob Dylan exibit at Seattle's EMP (Experience Music Project) yesterday. What memories it brought back! The show was a mix of videos, audios and physical objects, e.g., early Dylan photos, letters, high school essays, etc. His Vietnam war era lyrics apply even more aptly to Bush's evil folly in Iraq.
The spectacular EMP building was designed by Frank Gehry and funded by Paul Allen and other local benefactors. Quite spectacular. 12321. thoughtful - 11/27/2004 6:47:25 PM Latest scientific evidence (fwiw) says don't rinse. The water splatters more germs all around the kitchen increasing risk more than just popping bird straight in the oven where it's completely cooked, blood and all.
However, i made a roast chicken last week and rinsed it. And i always remember julia child when i roast a chicken as many many years ago on one of her shows, she showed the easy way to truss a bird.
Lay bird on back. Tuck tips of bird wings up and over the back. Place middle of long piece of cotton cord over top of bird's tail. Crisscross under the tail and bring cord up and around capturing each ankle and crisscross cord again, pulling tight in around cavity. Bring cord around backside of bird, flipping bird onto belly and crisscross again over middle of bird's back. Then bring strings forward under wings, pulling tight and tie off, catching neck flap if you can. No needle required.
At least that's how I think I do it...it's so automatic now that it's difficult to break down into the specific steps, but it comes out great every time.
Thanks, julia! 12322. arkymalarky - 11/27/2004 6:59:03 PM Thanks RDB, you too! 12323. judithathome - 11/27/2004 8:17:22 PM We're going to our second Thanksgiving dinner today...the traditional gathering of our gang of friends who go off to relatives on Thursday and get together for the alternate one on the Saturday after. Sometimes we have Chinese, home made by Keoni and Jamie, and sometimes we have traditional turkey and all the trimmings, like today.
Jamie bought a prepared turkey from Central Market...he swears it is delicious, haveing had one on the day at his in-laws. We'll see...last year he had fried turkey and it has to be better than that. I had heard people rave about fried turkeys and was expecting something special (or ultra greasy) and it was neither. Just kinda blah, dry turkey. 12324. judithathome - 11/27/2004 8:18:28 PM Drop the e from having....maybe someday I will learn how to type! 12325. Magoseph - 11/27/2004 8:27:34 PM I can't type either, Judsie. I have to preview almost every post. One of these days, there will be a contraption that will type for people like us. I hope you enjoy your outing today. 12326. Magoseph - 11/27/2004 8:28:38 PM Hi, Ms. No. Are you at work, or did you set up your computer in your new place? 12327. Ms. No - 11/27/2004 8:32:21 PM Went over to Lifetime Fitness this morning and got an hour-long massage from a hunka-hunka masseuse named Steve. My folks joined a couple months ago and I have to say this is the swankiest gym I've ever been too. Geared toward families I'd have thought the place would be run down and overrun by children but it is quite honestly the cleanest, nicest gym I've ever seen.
Tons of classes, plenty of machines and free weights, raquet-ball courts, basketball courts, indoor pool, outdoor pool, rock-climbing, spa. Wish I had one of these close to my house!!!! 12328. Magoseph - 11/27/2004 10:51:10 PM That's right, it's only Saturday and, of course, you're still in Texas. 12329. iiibbb - 11/28/2004 4:37:36 AM Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 12330. arkymalarky - 11/28/2004 4:57:18 AM Thanks 3i3b. Hope you had a good one.
Ours was very average. Average food, average company--everything ok but not very exciting. 12331. wonkers2 - 11/28/2004 8:19:52 AM Next time you're in Seattle, try Cactus for elegant Mexican food, reasonably priced. 12332. arkymalarky - 11/28/2004 7:05:52 PM Sounds like you've been having a great trip, Wonk. The funeral sounded like a wonderful tribute to such an accomplished man. 12333. christipeters - 11/28/2004 8:16:35 PM Jenerator or Judith or anyone else who knows the Dallas metroplex well - I'm looking for recommendations for a hair salon that is very very very good at makeovers. Any suggestions? 12334. judithathome - 11/28/2004 9:54:25 PM Jen will have to help you there...I haven't a clue. 12335. PelleNilsson - 11/28/2004 10:44:44 PM What about Ye Olde Rusty Scissor on Sycamore Boulevard? 12336. arkymalarky - 11/28/2004 10:51:08 PM Ye Schmee.
In the South it's always names like Southern Hairitage or Out Back Hair.
12337. arkymalarky - 11/28/2004 10:52:47 PM My beautician here is very good at makeovers. She's done Mose up for formal occasions several times (proms, weddings, etc). 12338. judithathome - 11/28/2004 11:32:30 PM Good excuse for Christi to come see you, Arky!
Don;t forget Hair Affair. We have a unisex hair salon around here called Venus & Mars.
