Haha, sorry 'bout that Wendy, but just think of all those happy Wilco-loving homes next Thanksgiving, filled with good music and the smells of roasting turkey and green beans with Italian "salsa" fresh tomato topping.....and Edie's spinach! I ask you, is this a lovely image or what?

That sounds excellent, Wendy! Why don't you share the recipe here so we can all steal it!

My green bean casserole is fabulous, but I mostly ignore the standard recipe and wing it. Let's see, our dinner included: a 22-lb. turkey (about 20 pounds of terrific leftovers, yay!) stuffing mashed potatoes gravy green bean casserole layered salad pickles! olives! sometimes stuck on fingertips in the traditional manner ambrosia homemade yeast rolls pistachio-crusted cheese log raspberry trifle pumpkin pie still untouched because we ran out of room I think that's it. Wow, we are so lucky to have such abundance of good things! Edie, please share the spinach recipe!

So sad...and far too young to die.

That was fabulous! Compliments to your friend. I almost got to see the Kinks once.....had tickets for a tour sometime about, I think, 1980? But Ray and Dave got into a big fistfight the night before the show I was going to see, and cancelled the rest of the tour. I was SO pissed!!!! Worse yet, they patched things up a day later and resumed the tour.....so the only date missed was the one I had tickets for! Doesn't it just figure! Maybe someday, huh?

A Mt. Bed kiss almost makes up for my lack of Barackian emailage.

Well hey, where's my sweet little note from Barack? Ah well, I'll settle for this victory.

I'm not sure why you're having problems, Tam. You aren't on suspension or anything, and your account seems to be in normal working order.

It was a terrific speech! There was even a puppy in it!

Last I checked, the damned thing was passing, if you can believe that....by 55% to 45%. I'm going to be ill if it passes. Pure prejudice. It's early yet, so I'm still hopeful.

You mean Joe the Plunger. Sorry....it's the champagne talking. I was moved by McCain's speech. Very classy.

I've opened 100 bottles of champagne for y'all.....they are in the break room, somebody start passing them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok 98......these two are mine!

I'm ridiculously happy.

We must live vicariously through all our VC compatriots on this one! Celebrate hard for all of us, those of you lucky enough to be in attendance in Grant Park!!! (Or, as this British-accented CNN person calls it, "Grandpa") WOOHOO! :party :party

My boys and I spent hours Saturday phoning into the wilds of Ohio.....YAY!!!!! I'm personally claiming this victory...it must've been our suave phone calls that turned 'em for Obama!

good one.

I'm sending you new tv vibes! This is not a night to be missed!

Even John McCain has come to his senses!

Lovely post. I agree.

My sentiments exactly. What a tumble of emotions Barack must be feeling right now.

Neat mini-review! How I wish I could've been there!

Well crap.

Cool! Can I borrow some money?

I take it you're not ESFP? What're you, ESPN? I dare you to casually hold a dollar bill over the stove and burn it. Please report back with Caliber's amusing reaction.

That's just wrong! Then you have to put the cd in the rack upside-down so that its spine can be read!
