Thanksgiving in 2020 means waking up late and having pie for "breakfast".

Thanksgiving 2020 means ordering a turkey bowl and chorizo mac & cheese from WaWa and drinking hard cider until I no longer care that this is the first Thanksgiving in 20 years that I have spent away from my family.
-
Thanksgiving for me means watching my roommate hog the kitchen to make cookies and home made mac and cheese to talk somewhere else, so I can put my turkey roll (w/ gravy) in the oven for over two hours, and then steam my baby reds for fork mashing, and bake the brown and serve rolls. I couldn't get any squash, so.
-
Made myself the best turkey ever. I absolutely rock turkeys which is good since I'll be eating it for 2-3 weeks. I'd happily make a turkey every month if someone else cleaned up. Gods but I hate cleaning.
-
We make cleaning easy with two things.
- We buy a disposable turkey pan every year.
- We cut up the turkey in that pan.
Then when we have the meat off, we take the whole pan, stuff it in a garbage sack, and toss it out. The carver still has to wash their hands, but, that is about the extent of the clean-up.
-
@silverfox I was looking at the roasting pan and considering just throwing it away and getting a new one next time. But even with a disposable, there's still the clean up from making the brining solution and the stuffing. Granted, those aren't too bad but it all adds to the experience.
-
I like to line my roasting pan with foil before using it. It's not a perfect solution, but it makes clean-up a bit easier because the bits stick to the foil, even if the juices seep onto the pan.
I brine in a literal bucket, so that's pretty easy to clean up.
-
Solo Thanksgiving means all the cider and pumpkin pie to myself.
Watching my cat check out whipped cream (put a little bit in a bowl for her) for the first time was a treat. She sniffed at it and then got VERY excited.

Really loving the Power Rangers comic.
I just bought a book that's a compilation of works by some guy named Joseph Campbell. Mostly because this Power Ranger comic made me realize that I wanted to learn more.

So I'm part of this site (Influenster) to sample, review, and post about on social media. I mean, hey, free shit (look they won me over years ago when they sent me a box full of tic tacs okay).
ANYWAY.
A couple weeks ago I got a couple tubes of Wella's colorcharm Paints in one of the new colors (Fuschia) to try out and... I'm really surprised by it. Like, I dyed my hair pink once years ago. Once because it faded so fast and it was a pain to keep up. I've had it in about a week and a half now, multiple washes, and it's barely faded.https://www.wella.com/professional/en-US/hair-color/color-charm/paints#/?_k=swasdh
I wanted to share cause I know a number of people on here dye their hair and this brand might be worth trying out. They're like, $7 a tube on Amazon (as compared to my usual preferred Pravana which runs like, $20 - MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE).

A friend of mine wrote this; I am extremely proud of him. There's a movement growing within the American Jewish community and I hope it gets big.

That is gorgeous and I want them.

I survived this semester.

I found this place. They do big boob bras at actually reasonable prices with big name brands on there. They post internationally.
-
The show "Another Period". I loved that show so much, I straight up merc'd the Bellacourt name and altered it to Bellecourt for my first mush character, Cumani.

@auspice Sort of related to Jaffa cakes, I discovered that there are now Terry's cookie bars. They're basically a Terry's chocolate orange, but in bar form, and they have a rice 'crunch' layer at the bottom like a Crunch bar. They're pretty amazing.
