What up was doing on a few things is anyone's guess.

[Rodzinski]

I would probably sing Anyone Can Whistle for an audition.

I once did, around 1978, for a dinner theatre production of 1776.

Did you get the part?

[Freddie]

Speaking of Anyone  Can Whsitle -

Does anyone here have any knowledge on this?

This is the whistling-for-a-cab moment from "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
https://youtu.be/VQpkCVeQVas

The way Audrey Hepburn says "It's easy" right after whistling loudly for the cab -
could that be where the lyric "Anyone can whistle, that's what they say - Easy" by Sondheim comes from.

I did.

Yes, please vote in the B'way World awards if you feel like it.

I receive emails from them and didn't notice anything about voting.  I have it now.  Usually you suggest what categories and voting options.  How about some help here

I cannot whistle

TOD: Usually we just host my sister on Thanksgiving, but this year two of our friends are joining us as well. So I'll be roasting a goose instead of a duck.

[MichaelG]

We'll have dueling sweet potato recipes: my usual Moroccan-style sweet potatoes, and our friend's drunken sweet potatoes. I haven't had those yet but his description sounded really good. You can never have too many sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving, as long as they're good!

[MichaelG]

The other friend is a much more experienced pie-maker than my wife, so she's gladly outsourced the pie making this year.

[MichaelG]

The other side dishes will be the same: cranberry sauce with Pinot Noir, a green bean salad, and a regular salad.

[MichaelG]

I'm doing an apple chestnut stuffing for the goose, using local chestnuts and a few local prunes too. Hope that comes out good!

[John G.]

DR John G, your lovely Amazon review has just landed!

Glad you liked it.

[John G.]

I made pumpkin empanadas today. I’m surprised at how much I like them. Pumpkin is not always my favorite flavor.

[John G.]

I don’t dislike it, but I can take it or leave it.

Those both sound very good, and certainly different enough to enjoy them both.

I like green bean salads, and regular salads.

[Jane]

I have never been a fan of cranberry sauces, and I red wine give me headaches.

Yum!

The alcohol boils out, but that might not be what causes the headaches. It's a cranberry sauce for folks who don't like other cranberry sauces. The recipe is here, but I only use 1/3 of the sugar:

Yeah, it will be some work, but hopefully worth it. It's my first time making that stuffing, and only my second time roasting a goose.

My DIL won't find out her Thursday schedule until tomorrow night. Makes it kinda hard to plan.

You are right, if it boils out I doubt it would give me a headache.  It won't help the fact that I have not found a cranberry sauce that I enjoy-lol.

Sure does.  Will Aunt Sassy join you even if they don't?

[Jane]

Keith got Wordle in three.

[Freddie]

Skip just made the cranberry relish.   It's delicious!

Page 5 looks pretty close.

Might as well get there.
