Not sure what we'll do. Maybe go to the coast, have a nice drive, and pick someplace to eat. We went to someplace near Moonshadows one year and it was lovely and empty, looking out over the water.

We will be driving out to my mother's house in the Valley.

Which of course means our annual listening of Alice's Restaurant will easily be accommodated. It just isn't Thanksgiving without Alice's Restaurant!

How many times do you plan on listening to it?

That's disappointing to learn since I don't even know what Alice's Restaurant is. Does this mean I have to start all over?

Just once is enough

That explains a lot.

It's a song:

It is notable as a satirical, first-person account of 1960s counterculture, in addition to being a hit song in its own right. The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the draft, and to end war.

Quite popular among those of us that grew up with hippie parents.

It's been quoted here before... But be careful with that, it can lead to L7's.

Youtube has it here.

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.

Looks like I'll be making yams.

Peel, boil, mash yams
take brick of brown sugar from back of pantry and warm in oven until usable
add brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract to yams

mmm yams

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!
