solidfoamsoul*le sigh* So Jim isn't coming with Aunt Terre and Ryan for Thanksgiving. Oh well. I suppose is DOES make more since for the old boyfriend not to come when the new boyfriend is coming. I mean they haven't been together for years now, but they did date/live together for ten years and helped raise Ryan. So he's unquestionably part of our family too. However this new boyfriend... I don't know. Ryan likes him okay, but me and Aaron are a bit... uncertain. Not that he's a bad guy or anything. We just don't know him. What we have seen (he stayed for about two days, kinda) isn't terribly impressive. Maybe I'm just comparing him to Jim, but I don't *get* it. My brother said it best I think, "It's kinda like when Gigi (mom's mom) was dating Dwayne (her rebound BF from her husband, my Poppop.)". Jim and Poppop are very charismatic, outgoing, friendly as hell, conversing about Life, the Universe and Everything kind of guys. So, a tough act to follow. So it's not that they didn't meet expectations, but they were just... there. They didn't *give* us anything to take away from meeting them. I remember at Dwayne's house, Aaron and I were so incredibly bored with the whole experience from just being there we talked about all the creepy junk in the house and making fun of Dwanye's huge lips.
... Did not expect that coming out.
What I meant to post was for Ali, really. But thought I would share it with everyone. So, speaking of Jim, here's his awesome Oyster dressing.
1 cup chopped Celery
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 stick margarine
Simmer in saucepan with a cup of water until celery is cooked
Cool and combine with:
1 large package seasoned dressing mix
1 pint of oysters (more if desired)
1 egg (beat in a little water)
Add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.
Cover with tin foil,
Bake in 325 degree over for 1 hour,
remove tin foil after first 1/2 hour.
Also, for Ali, all mom really does for the turkey is salt the inside and outside, put some butter on the outside and stuff the inside with celery and sliced apples before just following the directions on the package and tossing it in a roasting pan with the lid on (or tin foil)
