Let's dish.

What do you usually do for thanksgiving? Have dinner with your own family, with the spouse's family? Or are you like me and go fifteen different places to eat before the day's over? Or, perhaps, your family goes OUT to eat on Thanksgiving?

Ahh, the holidays are fast approaching, and I can't wait.

And while we're at it, what's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Maybe we could even post unique recipes, LoL

I'm like you Kenny... :)

I eat at my Mom's house, then Gran, then Nana, and later that night I go to a friends house late at night and we munch on leftovers and kick off the Holiday season eating and watching Rudolph.

My fave dishes are Broccoli Casserole & Earthquake Cake

german chocolate cake mix, flake coconut, cream cheese, pecans, walnuts, cherries all swirled into a cake.

But the trick to the cake is half way through baking you have to shake the cake to make it fall. after it falls it gets gooey and chewy around the edges.

of course! I always spend the night at Mom's and she wakes me up right before it comes on. the smells of dinner and watching the parade makes me all nostalgic.

Damn, that cake sounds scrumptious, LoL.

And isn't the parade ALL about nostalgia? Seriously. I'm such a sap when it comes to holidays. Hell, I could cry during Halloween if I just thought hard enough about it and memories I have of previous Halloweens, LoL.

I think this year I'm going to try to make it myself. I've never done it before so it should be interesting. We usually go to my moms but I really can't stand her husband so that's out. I loooooooove stuffing. Can't get enough. I keep seeing commercials and it's making hungry for it already. Well that and I'm about 2 1/2 moths pregnant. Wish me luck with my dinner!!! :D

I make it a point to catch all the Charlie Brown Specials during the fall! I love ABC for running them every year, I used to even catch them when they were on CBS.

My favorite holiday dish is Chocolate Delight. The best ever.

I like to watch Charlie Brown too. This year I finally bought the box set of Charlie Brown. It contains the Thanksgiving, Halloween and Two Christmas eppys. The Thanksgiving one and the Halloween one have a extra bonus eppy. I still need to get the Valentines, Easter and New Years ones. :)

They have everything to be thankful for, more than anyone in the world right now. They lost so many material things and some had the misfortune to lose things of far more importance, but those who have their lives and their health? How can they not be thankful?'

Ah, this society and their material things. With the pain that comes with human tragedy, the important things are almost always truly realized.

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
