So, I may be making some poor life choices in what time tomorrow I try to watch Andor. I'm so nervous about what is going to happen. Minor speculation and spoilers below the link below.
I'm on the elephant, https://mas.to/@rthstewart
I admit it's a little amusing to see ALL THE DRAMA on mastodon. I don't mean to make light of it -- some of it is quite serious. Some of it is just a bunch of people getting together who are all very smart and then suddenly WTF we have to mod too? How do we mod? We're used to someone ELSE doing this shit job. And really not having the first clue about it. I know there are issues with security, etc. on Mastodon but I'm not on it for anything except to try to keep up on a few things, and it's not terribly successful with that. I used Twitter as my aggregator for news, politics, federal government news, FDA, HHS, emergency alerts, traffic and weather, fandom, dogs, and fic. I mean, I followed Tom & Lorenzo, Daily Dot, I Pet That Dog, a bunch of law blogs, a bunch of oncologists and epidemiologists, and a lot of you. Nothing can yet replace all those things. I'm on Discord, Tumblr, here, mastodon, instagram, and put a bunch of my news sources in feedly. I's not the same at all but it's a start. I hate it.
And Thursday is American Thanksgiving and I used to post on LJ a long time ago about me meal day prep, then I went to Twitter, and well, you know.
So, I'm dry brining a bird with a half cup of kosher salt (about 70 grams) for two days and then will baste with butter and honey. We're only have 6 guests total this year -- I think I had about 20 last year. So I thought we had downsized but the group is evenly divided between hard crusty rolls and parker house rolls and between sausage stuffing and mashed potatoes, so... all four I suppose. But it's a smaller bird and smaller sizes/portions of everything and i might not even break out the good china. In recent years, as we've aged, we've drunk a lot less alcohol. But this time, I have 3 people under age 25, so I think the cycle begins again.
Dessert is unified around apple pie and I'm going to do a salted caramel chocolate tart. Oh and some random veg.
How about you?
