Thanksgiving was GREAT!  I hosted 15 family members at my house.  For the 3rd or 4th time, I FRIED the turkey.  Let me tell you – frying the turkey is great.  It’s a time saver, it opens the oven for other cooking needs, and it is the best tasting turkey you’ll ever taste.  And it’s safe – sure you have to be careful, but after doing this a few times now I’ve figured out what I consider a (nearly) fool proof and safe method of frying the turkey.  But that’s for another post.  My other culinary claim to fame again this year was my home made ice cream.  Oh so good.

Work is… well, it’s work. Traveled last week to Maryland for a few nights.  This job I took just back in September, suffice it to say I’m not all that happy with it.  Again, I could go on about it for quite some time but that will also have to be for another post, because it really deserves it’s own time.

The Club – Ok, I don’t think I’ve yet mentioned The Club Diner in this blog which is a real shame.  The Club is possibly the greatest place on earth.  Been there twice since my last posting.  When you go to a place and while gathering in the parking lot your usual waitress (oh Patti!!:)) has your usual drinks waiting for you at your usual table and usual seats – that’s how you know you’ve probably been there too much but have no intention of stopping.

In recent month’s visits to The Club I’ve been getting a usual of Pork Roll & Egg & Cheese on a Bagel – always good.  This latest visit, I decided to switch it up a bit.  Scrapple & Egg & Cheese on a Bagel.  I suggested this sandwich be added to the menu as “The Josh.” In review – it was good.  Quite tasty, but I find the generally soft texture of the scrapple doesn’t lend itself well to a sandwich.  You know how when you put too much ketchup on a sandwich it will ooze out the other side when you take a bite – that’s what happened here.

Christmas season is upon us, and I started decorating my house for my 2nd Annual Wacky Christmas Party!  One of my favorite decorations is my 4′ artificial pre-lit tree.  Why is this my favorite – because I elevate it up in front of my living room’s picture window so that it looks more like an 8′ tree.  Something I picked up from my grammy whom I miss dearly, especially with this being our first Christmas without her.  I’m probably going to keep adding lights in and perhaps outside of myhouse up until the day of the party.  And I’m gonna break out the fryer for some great ol fried turkey for the party.  Mmmm…

So in closing, Perhaps I should aim to have a new year’s resolution next month to blog more.  Maybe if I stop blogging all together between now and then, it’ll be easier to meet the resolution then.  Funny, I seem to have the same attitude about dieting – obviously overall counter productive…

Heh heh… doodie.

Yeah, there is not gonna be anything serious on this.
