I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Lord, those may taste great but they sure sound nasty. "pig pickin cake"? "Frog eye salad"? "Dirt pudding"? "Funeral potatoes"?  :lol:

I think dirt pudding is pudding covered with crushed oreo (I guess without the cream) so that the upper texture looks like dirt.  It's not bad.

My contribution to the family Thanksgiving effort is deep-frying the turkey.  This will be my first time.  Hope I don't screw it up.

No shit.  For once I'll have to stay sober before dinner.

Anyway, I know what chess bars are but have never seen them at a Thanksgiving dinner here nor have heard of anyone bringing them. :hmm:

We are hosting Thanksgiving dinner for the first time since the day before David was born back in 2010.  I have no idea what we are making since I have been so bogged down getting this damn degree.  My parents are out of town so it will just be my sister, her boyfriend, my niece, and my mother-in-law with my nuclear family.  Hilarity is expected to ensue.

Well actually a glorious Texas victory over TCU is expected to ensue.

I hope my wife has a plan I will be scrambling the next couple days to get ready.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

If I lived in Texas, I'd have chili for Thanksgiving.
