I have to admit I've never been there except for when the bus I was riding to Mexico stopped for thirty minutes at dawn and a friend and I ran to see the French Quarter.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-85430402860440916122009-11-30T16:44:25.511-05:002009-11-30T16:44:25.511-05:00You certainly had a Thanksgiving feast and everyth...You certainly had a Thanksgiving feast and everything sounds so yummy. We had a nice meal at the Diner but it would have been better with family and friends. So you like Arlo too? I bought a couple of his records in the 60s too. My favorite song is the City of New Orleans – I still remember the lyrics for the chorus: “Good Morning America how are you? Don’t you know me I’m your native son, I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans, I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. “ Last year I bought a children’s book for my grandson and it was called The City of New Orleans and the lyrics were on each page. Actually I was looking at taking the only train that runs from Atlanta on Amtrak and it goes to New Orleans – one way is $49 so I am thinking of going there for my birthday in March as I have not been back since 2000 – it’s such a great city and the food….Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-70529755082066372862009-11-27T11:38:54.201-05:002009-11-27T11:38:54.201-05:00Fun to think of you all listening to Arlo too!
O...Fun to think of you all listening to Arlo too!<br /><br />Oh yes, today is far too peaceful to even think of going shopping. That is so much not my idea of fun -- I'm not a shopper in the best of times and the Black Friday crush sounds like a nightmare to me.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-50086323491238316032009-11-27T10:32:50.649-05:002009-11-27T10:32:50.649-05:00Yum!

Your meal looks delicious.<br /><br />By noon, our turkey was resting, cleaning was done, and hubby and I sat down and put our feet up and listened to "Alice's Restaurant" before guests started trickling in. I hadn't heard it in years, and we enjoyed the break and a laugh or two!<br /><br />Happy "Black Friday." I always enjoy this day after - the house is still clean and the fridge is stuffed with food. I may do a little cyber shopping, but I'm certainly not venturing out into the crowds!phyllis w.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-79260624884353995992009-11-27T09:47:54.200-05:002009-11-27T09:47:54.200-05:00Maria Cecelia -- Thanksgiving in the US is celebra...Maria Cecelia -- Thanksgiving in the US is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. (Canada also ha a Thanksgiving celebration but I believe it's on a Monday.)<br /><br />I like this holiday because it's focused on friends and family and food -- no gift giving frenzy, no cards to send, no attendant parties (we save that for Christmas.)Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-737522097425355882009-11-27T09:07:21.197-05:002009-11-27T09:07:21.197-05:00Hi Vicki, as I see your dinner already happened. ...Hi Vicki, as I see your dinner already happened.

(The other giblets go into the gravy.) I just simmer the liver till done and whir it up with butter and a bit of onion and madeira. Most of my family hate liver but one of my guets and I are fond of this little spread.<br /><br />We don't have a dishwasher -- but various folks pitch in and bit by bit it all gets done,<br /><br />Hi, Martin -- Oh my, so can I!Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-13349074287818850912009-11-27T07:35:34.868-05:002009-11-27T07:35:34.868-05:00What a lovely menu Vicki.

I'm not familiar with turkey liver pate....sounds good though. <br /><br />Be glad you weren't at our house with your crowd. Our dishwasher gave up the ghost and is on the fritz. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-8008952278078098832009-11-27T02:14:03.722-05:002009-11-27T02:14:03.722-05:00Wow Vicki, what a feast!

The things we pull, complete with party hats, savoury biscuits, or a descriptive term for someone who has lost the plot! There are times when I can relate a little too closely to the latter.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.com
