Second, Rose...Beans,<br />First, you got me on that one.<br />Second, Rosemary is the only plant I can't grow. I've tried several times, water normally, little water, no water, keep 'em wet. They all died. So bad that the local Garden Club has declared me the Dr Mengele of Rosemary and issued a proclamation to all the local plant stores not to sell me anything but dried (e.g. dead) Rosemary.<br /><br />Yeah, we're looking forward to having all five of us together soon. juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-82268693227945814032021-11-25T09:41:44.852-08:002021-11-25T09:41:44.852-08:00Never had grilled turkey.

The wonderful history teachers ...Well, am I wrong? The wonderful history teachers always leave out that the reason, even though they landed at the wrong place at the wrong time, they almost died was because, well, they almost became good communists. And the reason they were being persecuted by King James was they were insufferable better-than-thous who wouldn't shut up about how they were more better than King James and the rest of England. <br /><br />Glad you get to see extended family. Mine is mostly down in Satellite Beach or near Orlando and due to wife's back and head, we can't travel far. That and my eldest sister-in-law, lovely lady, nicer than can be, total saint for dealing with my oldest brother and my mother, lives on Caribbean Island Time for serving food, so you might get the meat on time but everything else comes... randomly.<br /><br />Plus, well, we're just tired of having to go somewhere. It's nice to wake up in one's own bed and eat one's own food and just have a quiet day together. And I don't have to worry about setting my mother off politically since she's a died-in-the-wool Wilsonist.

I mean, as long as the yard-rats (deer) don't munch them, they basically can survive with minimal care and just semi-random watering. And the nice thing about it is if you have a surplus of Rosemary, you can trim the excess branches and make herb bundles and hang them up in the house to dry, then process your own. Which will allow you to do things like take a huge bunch of it and put it all in olive oil and make your own Rosemary-infused oil for drenching or flavoring without having little wooden leaf thingies poking you, right?<br /><br />And it's also a good pest control thingy. And a large globe-bush looks nice, too.<br /><br />As to Christmas, well, traditionally it's 12 days, just the 28th used to really suck for little kids depending on which interpretation you go by.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-40979748481759542462021-11-25T09:24:36.482-08:002021-11-25T09:24:36.482-08:00I miss going to Renn Faires.

Coolish day...To repeat: Happy Thanksgiving to all. Coolish day down here in the Lone Star State. Did my "last" shopping trip to HEB on Tuesday, mob scene. Had about 3 must haves that I had forgotten. When I started cooking this morning, realized my error, went back to HEB, parking lot was virtually empty, but so were most of the shelves. Talked to one of my former students who works in Produce. Said Tuesday had been a record day for the store, in customers, sales AND income. So they've got that going for them. I, on the other hand, am going to have to settle for dried Rosemary vice Fresh. Other than that, all the ingredient holes were filled. <br /><br />Dinner will be Mrs J and I, SIL, MBD and MG and my Sister. Tomorrow, the threesome will RTB and my Niece, Her Hubby and two kids will visit from Cedar Park. A week from Friday, SIL's parents and sister will be visiting for the Christmas parade. Then we get a break for a couple of weeks. Christmas itself will be quiet, just Mrs J and I, but the 29th Little J and DIL will get their mid-tour leave that the Covid BS took away from them while in Kuwait. MBD and Family will return and that will be when we celebrate.<br />May the Peace of Christ be with all of you and yours wherever you/they may be.<br />Happy Thanksgiving.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-43796052351716483182021-11-25T08:54:26.795-08:002021-11-25T08:54:26.795-08:00Barry, have fun at the Ren Fest!
