OMFG...Kevy you have woken me from my comatose state (of late). Bear and I visited a little cabin in our favourite hidden retreat (I'll show you some pics one day) and this loud-ass family of Baden-Powels lobbed with their fleet of RV's and shattered the serenity with "The Song That Must Not Be Named". It made more than my cheese unhappy.

You Named It. You may as well have cut the goddamn cheese.

The only thing worse is "Kum-ba-yah", followed by something about "Gooley-ging-gang". Fvck me.

On second thoughts, "The Song That Must Not Be Named" beats even that.

So go get a stick and whack some sense into yourself (and make sure you don't enjoy it).

Love and hugs,

The Stoat.

But as Mrs. Baby (AKA Susan) is so oft to point out: I enjoy being beaten with a stick, so it wouldn't help.

OK..if the stick won't do the trick, I dare you to shove the CD into the car's player and put it on auto-repeat for the entire journey.

If that doesn't cure you of "The Song That Must Not Be Named" then you are either deaf or you have been struck by the Imperius curse. Either way it's bad news dude.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat. 110 days and counting.

However... after a visit to the local park, we are now having SparrPidgeGull.

Bear...Bear !!!

SparrPidgeGull is my favourite...though I've never worked out how you get the seagull into the pidgeon and then into the sparrow...and likewise I never cease to be amazed that it takes all of my Stoaty strength to carry even one of the SparrPidgeGulls to the table.

Come to think of it, I have never worked out how I manage to move around after eating one of those suckers.

I think it's particularly thoughtful of you to mention SparrPidgeGull to our American friends, as some may be feeling financial hardship...and so a visit to the local park is the perfect answer. It will also help to keep the statuary clean (and you know what a stickler I am for that).

Please de-bone them (the birds that is) first 'cos I hate the way they get stuck between one's teeth.

Love and Hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

So you don't enjoy getting a bone(r) in your mouth?

I was thinking of trying something different with the yams this year, actually, as I've never done the marshmallows on top thingy, and the canned yams have a simpler recipe. Wonder if that would be as good. Sometimes the fresh yams just aren't sweet enough.

Totally different direction but I love yams, mashed with lots of butter and a really good cheese (shredded and mixed in). Bake until gooey. Yum!

Lance made some great yams last night. The old-fashioned kind with marshmallows :9

I used a recipe found on Food Network's website - Alton Brown's Best Ever Somethign Something Green Bean Casserole.

It's basically as scratch as it can get, short of growing the veggies/herbs/spices, milking the cows and churning butter. I hope to actually re-write it to reflect what I did to cut down on the time. Because it says 45 minutes, but unless you have two people working on it, that first time takes about an hour and 15-30 minutes. I eventually got mine down to 30. Flat. All while making the usual T-giving day fare. Of course, that happens when you make it three times in a row.
