Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[spiritbass]

Intrigued or envious?

Well, I prepared whole cranberry sauce with half of the sugar that the recipe calls for to make it easier on my brother and sister in law who are hosting our feast and also diabetic. We'll get by. That mix of ingredients does sound good, though!

 

[spiritbass]

Easy and tasty.
Fresh and dried cranberries (texture)
Dried apricots, dried cherries.
Combine raw white sugar (molasses not washed off, but not brown sugar) bring to a boil. Add a drop of vanilla, sprinkle of cinnamon.
Lower heat.
Add the dried fruits , stirring constantly.
Add fresh cranberry, and let stew until cranberries "pop" stirring occasionally.
Turn off heat. Stir in brandy ( just a shot or 2)
Put in a container in the fridge overnight .
Serve in small cup, topped with chopped pralines , powdered sugar, and lemon zest.
OMG.

Wow! Thanks for sharing your recipe. It does sound delicous!

...the numbing feeling from...

I can think of a bunch of other ways to get that numbing feeling.

When you said turtle pie, I didn't connect it with Turtles the chocolates.

I was thinking Flo & Eddie.

Fargo in January will do it.

Years like this, thankfulness is a hard thing to summon.

Just look All around you, what you have and see.
The smile of a niece, nephew, child , grandchildren.
The simple beauty of turning leaves .
(A lovely slab of wood)

Thankful that I'm here to experience it.
Thankful I have a loving partner .
Thankful that my family remains un-impacted
Thankful to know I'm not alone with my struggles, and although I can do little to change it, thousands of people worldwide are striving to stop the menace.

I send warm thoughts to all that read this.

Nice! Similar to a cranberry chutney I've made. Leave out the sweets, add some cayenne maybe slivered almonds. Savory.

Paul McCartney Admits He Uses A Teleprompter To Remember Old Beatles Songs

“Sometimes I’ll be doing a song, like ‘Eleanor Rigby’ or something, and I’m on autopilot," the 78-year-old explained. “And I’m starting to think, ‘Oh, what am I gonna have for dinner? Maybe you won’t have the soup but maybe you’ll just go for the main course.’ Then I go, ‘Stop!’ because I’m singing ‘Eleanor Rigby!’ I’ve separated myself not only from Paul and fame, but a couple of bits in my head are going in different places.”

“Sometimes that breaks down and I forget the song," McCartney confessed. "I have a teleprompter.”

If all I need is a teleprompter to help me out when I'm 78, I'll consider life to be going better than I could have hoped for.

The problem is that every Beatles fan know all the words. I saw him here about 5 years ago and he didn't have one then that I saw anyway. They were unbelievable.

He always did that with Hey Jude behind the piano, even when young. He described it as a mental thing. But a lot of folks use lyric prompts, some for the music.

This is useful.

I can see spacing out after playing the same songs for over 50 years. It was funny the way he explained it though, I could see myself doing the same thing.

That doesn't only happen to 78-year-olds.

I was frantically looking for my reading glasses today, yup, you guessed it, my wife pointed out that they were on my nose.

With most of my colleagues beyond the borders of America the Beautiful, today was simply a workday. Lunch was leftover mapo tofu, dinner was lamb saag, and six hardshell clams are my concession to the holiday in a while

I've done the same thing while playing. I know a guy that uses charts to map out the songs. They're complicated with a lot of changes.

Is that a bagel or a donut in the middle of the spread?

Arlo did just fine on "Alice's restaurant" when I last saw him, 53 years after he wrote the song. But then, he was never a Beatle. I didn't notice any teleprompter around.
