Snowballs
As noted on Twitter, I managed to make a US Thanksgiving dinner with only one mishap, which was not related to the taste of the food or major injury at all, thank fuck. Unfortunately, it WAS related to setting myself on fire...okay, setting on fire the oven glove I was using to hold the gravy pan. No Rhis were burned in the making of this dinner. My family has always had electric stoves, okay?
The meal was lovely. It's pretty hard to fuck up the pre-basted turkey breast, but I successfully pulled off pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.
There is snow in Glasgow! Enough snow to stick to the ground and the road, likely wreaking havoc on traffic.
I may need to make a locked post to muse about my Festivids ideas--recip is not on my circle/friends list and I don't believe ze's closely connected to anyone. I do a lot better when I talk these things out, and seeing as the entire month of November has been blown with me being sick and pushing out visa stuff* and wedding thank yous, I need to get on it.
Without giving anything away: does anyone know of any songs about fathers that aren't good or bad, just conflicted? Clapton's 'My Father's Eyes' is just a little too slow.
At least I have a filmmaker/vidding icon on Dreamwidth now. Yay, Abed! He's far closer to my own sensibilities than Mark Cohen.
* Probably due for that locked post on the [adjective redacted] state of UK immigration under the current administration.

I always had electric stoves growing up, then had gas in NYC & grew to love it. I wish we had gas here--it's so much more difficult to do effective temperature control w/electric. (But yeah, our oven mitts at home frequently had singed bits at the tips, hahaha.)
There's snow in Bristol. Enough to coat windshields but it's all melted off the roads. Apparently there is a warning for blizzard conditions on Tuesday here. People here know jack shit about dealing w/snow, so that should be fun. (I'd imagine they were somewhat better in Glasgow about it!)

Blizzard conditions? Seriously? We're allegedly due for sleet tomorrow. [sigh] Actually, they're not used to snow much here, it's that west coast thing of more rain than snow. Still not melted off my street.
ETA: I listened to Father of Mine earlier and it might work, but I need to watch the canon to see if it fits. Thanks though!
