**1doglady** · 11-15-2008, 08:23 PM

Hello? Anyone out there? Go pak ya caw and come back here.

**PDXnative** · 11-15-2008, 11:43 PM

I lived in ma before I was born. After I was born..... oh..... you meant Massachusetts...

Hmm, I think you may be the first. It is like Monopoly. You land on it first and you now own it.

**dragonmaster** · 11-19-2008, 06:46 AM

I am about 22 miles up I 84 to the bay state.

**1doglady** · 11-19-2008, 03:25 PM

Are you staying home for Thanksgiving dragonmaster? Last years meal sounded incredible! Hope you're holding up without too much wear and tear.

**dragonmaster** · 11-19-2008, 06:18 PM

I will be home and doing my magic in the kitchen 1dog

Traditional dinner- well should I say a menu that can be best described as 'fossilized' after nearly 400 years.

Crab cakes and coconut shrimp for appetizers
Sparkling white wine- Brut/ Methode Champenoise

Roast Turkey in herbs
Homemade stuffing with onions, celery and sausage
Freshly cooked cranberries and orange
mashed potatoes/gravy
butternut squash in pure maple syrup
peas
More sparkling wine

Pumpkin Pie

then fall asleep

What time should I be there?

**dragonmaster** · 11-19-2008, 06:34 PM

Does it sound that GOOD??

be here at 1- I will have most everything prepped in the early morning to be cooked.

**PDXnative** · 11-19-2008, 06:35 PM

Can we all come?

**dragonmaster** · 11-19-2008, 06:46 PM

You are certainly welcome! All of you- just will have to adjust what I buy!!

**1doglady** · 11-19-2008, 08:18 PM

You are very kind D. but I know you have your hands full. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

On another note..I can't believe how frickin cold it is tonight! Suppose to be 17!!!!
Haven't had snow yet but might have a flurry tomorrow. I remember it snowing as early as Nov.12 before.

**PDXnative** · 11-19-2008, 09:30 PM

17? Brrrrrr.....

**1doglady** · 11-19-2008, 09:33 PM

You got that right! I'm ready to put my gloves on indoors.

**dragonmaster** · 11-20-2008, 06:39 AM

This cold is to say the least early- average high here is 50, not 32 this time of year.
I had to cover my two Windmill palms- which though hardy to nearly 0- their fan leaves looked 'droppy'- I also brought in my potted palms- sabals and other windmill palms for the winter.

It will probably be 60 degrees in early December- crazy weather-up and down.

So, WINE ! You are the connoisseur of wine!
Everything sounds wonderful! What a lot of work!

**dragonmaster** · 11-20-2008, 08:43 PM

Not really allot of work BB- as one learns to cook they learn so many shortcuts and creative way to use herbs, spices and other flavors.

Wine lover? I know wine reasonably well- but I also like Up Martini's- Vodka or Gin.

**BayBreeze** · 11-22-2008, 08:36 AM

Dragonmaster....Here's Blantyre. What a gorgeous weekend we had there. This was the site of the wedding I mentioned on the CT thread. We stayed in the green wallpapered room as shown. I remember that very well!

Wow, nice place. And starting at only $550 per night, a real bargain

**dragonmaster** · 11-23-2008, 08:38 PM

A bit too pricey for me-yikes!
There is a place in western Connecticut- the Mayflower Inn- which has prices that are the same- its very jazzy- but dinner in their elegant restaurant and a night stay would force me not to be able to pay bills for the month.

Yes, I agree....very pricey!
That was a weekend we will remember forever, compliments of some very affluent people. Otherwise, we would have said....'sorry, can't make it'......

Waking up in a castle was phenomenal!
