Just had to explain “feet pics” to my Mom, who is now mortified that she announced “All I want for Christmas is your feet pics” at Thanksgiving.
My Mom gave everyone in the family Christmas socks and announced that everyone should send her pictures of their feet in the socks on Christmas morning.
“Everyone send me pictures of your feet!” she keeps exclaiming.

My father (who has Alzheimer’s) thought I was bringing the mini wedding cake to dinner to announce my engagement to Manfriend.
We are not engaged.
Anyway, cheers? We have at least three hours until dinner.

The final product. I’m pleased as punch with how it turned out. This is the original wedding cake topper from my parents’ wedding 50 years ago AND my grandparents’ wedding before that.

Preview of my mini wedding cake for my parents. Nothing fancy, just a six in three tier vanilla cake with Swiss meringue buttercream, but we have their topper from 50 years ago for it. 🥹

Okay I’m going to stop arguing with people on the Internet about Brian Kelly’s dumb buyout. What I have learned is that 1) a lot of supposed smart people don’t understand how things work and 2) Todd Graves should start a charitable foundation to support college professors and their research.

Manfriend made the sauce for our massive lasagna dinner on Friday night and vacuum sealed it because we didn’t have enough containers.
Meet what we are calling the Meat Pillow.
As in “Babe, you forgot to put the meat pillow in the fridge.”

Yeah, man, if anyone knows anything about Brian Kelly, it’s that he’s definitely a Louisiana resident with an authentic accent and everything.
Everyone keeps saying that about him.

I’m tapping out on baking for the night. All I have left to make in the morning is Swiss Meringue Buttercream, it’s not something I normally make and I’m too tired to attempt it.
But my little cake layers look good! This cake used reverse creaming method and I had to read the recipe so many times.

Y’all, I think Brian Kelly’s buyout is stupid, too. But it’s definitely not being paid by Louisiana taxpayers.
It’s obscene.
But they’re not cutting the state budget to fund it, so don’t quote my post acting like they are because you like to dunk on Southern states.

News dumping isn’t as effective these days with social media, but Thanksgiving Eve is, in fact, one of the Golden Trash Days in public relations.

Apple slab pie is in. We’re gonna call it “rustic.” Other pie components are all made. All I have to do is layer the pumpkin pie tonight and make a mini wedding cake, lol

I don’t know if this is operator error or what, but neither of my caramels got super deep and golden and so we are just having chewy blonde caramel in this pie I guess.

Dudes will literally insist that women completely dismantle the patriarchy on Thanksgiving Eve instead of helping with the mopping and dusting.

I wish I had video footage of the absolute melee for mums in the Trader Joe’s flower section at 8 a.m. in Baton Rouge.
These women came to SLAY their tablescapes. I almost blacked out.
For some reason I also decided pomegranates would be good decor.

Also, for the cis men with cis women partners? She’s stressed about the house being clean when people come over because SHE is judged if your house, which you also live in, is not pristine.

By the way, if someone is hosting you this Thanksgiving, compliment their damn decor.
I don’t care if it’s a half dead carnation in a vase next to two dirty pinecones as a centerpiece.
COMPLIMENT. THEIR. DECOR.
