Is a soup a mocktail? And other burning Black Friday questions on the #dogsearmenu
Made my first from scratch turkey noodle soup from the bones of yesterday’s bird. I am not sure why I didn’t do this sooner. Very easy and incredibly soul satisfying.

Received a lovely surprise in the mail today from @tolariancommunitycollege.com that might be borderline psychic since I was really cold and looking for a clean hoodie not 10 mins ago.
Look up mensch in a dictionary and you will find a picture of him.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Brian!

Made a variant of the previous cocktail but this time the only ingredients were four roses and a single barrel.

Super happy with how it all turned out today but highlights were the super crispy skinned turkey; cherry-mandarin-cranberry sauce; shaved Brussels sprout salad with apples and pecans; and cornbread stuffing.
No more food until 2026 please.

Paging @bdm.bsky.social 😄
I was at the ER the night before Thanksgiving/early hours of Thanksgiving last year with a family member, and we overheard two doctors call that block of time "The Night of the Mandolines" due to the sheer number of sharps injuries during meal prep.

Fun fact: grenades are named after the pomegranate, via French, leaning into the murderiness and whatnot.

I wasn’t planning on making a pomegranate cocktail today but then was struck by how they are the most murdery looking of all the Thanksgiving ingredients.

Thankful Josh Hart is a Knick all the time but never more so than every time he pulls a rebound down against someone with 10 inches on him.

I think that now that our food processor has tasted human blood we need to put it down.

IMO any playlist has to include Vince Guaraldi Trio — "Thanksgiving Theme" www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkeG...
Discovered an official "Best Of" playlist, could do worse than 40 song / 2.5 hours of jazz piano: open.spotify.com/playlist/1sp...

NEW EPISODE ALERT! I spoke with @bdm.bsky.social about the history of Magic: the Gathering fandom and how the #MTG community formed on the early internet. Even if you aren't a gamer yourself, I think this is a really fun episode with great stories! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK0I...

Dropped a word! Each booster is a playable deck right out of the wrapper. Perfect for a variety of competitive formats, easy to teach, and gearing up for smart multiplayer modes.

Another fantastic game at PAXU was Cataclysm Arcade from @bdm.bsky.social. It’s a CCG, but each booster is a playable.
It balances approachability and depth excellently. Resource generation like Hearthstone with an extra economy element that keeps the game moving. Hitting KS next year. Can’t wait.
