As for the Stones, PLEASE do whatever you need to do to see them. Take Xanax, get drunk....do something so you can endure the throngs of humanity (I have issues in crowds, and to me, five can be a crowd). I poo-poo'd seeing the Eagles for years because I paid $12.50 the only time I saw them and thought $100 a seat was outrageous (fun fact: it cost $12.50 to see the Eagles in San Diego in 1976). Then Glen Fry died, and I cried. I will never have the chance to see them again. Keith will undoubtedly live forever, but Mick could go and you'd lose your chance, too. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. As for gravy, I'm terrified! I'm gonna attempt to make it today, but I bought three jars of turkey gravy. You know...just in case.Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408495829569772826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-36807801913310995402018-11-22T13:10:43.700-05:002018-11-22T13:10:43.700-05:00I think I've tried the food processor recipe. ...I think I've tried the food processor recipe.

I live in ...I feel the opposite the last few years. I live in a remote area so rarely have a chance to socialize. But I can’t host big parties anymore either. <br /><br />For pastry I use the food processor. I think ina garten has a recipe...oh here it is https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/perfect-pie-crust-recipe-1919026<br /><br />Only I use a cup of butter to 2 cups flour. And I add the water (about 1/3 cup) while just blitzing the mix a few times, until it just starts to come together. Then turn it out and mush it all together until it’s a ball. Also chilling is a total myth IMO. I just let the dough rest, wrapped in plastic, for 30 minutes while I make the filling. I saw some celebrity baker do this once and I’ve never looked back. Everyone says my crusts are delicious but maybe they are just polite. Rolling refrigerated pie crust makes me crazy though, so I don’t care.

I think this is normal enough, if people would just admit it. It's taken me a long time because I always thought of myself as extroverted, a social butterfly. Well, when I was single, I was! But once I had a family, who needed all that socialing and butterflying? My joys and satisfactions came from my loved ones in my home. Anyway, I've been anxious about not feeling the need to go anywhere, but mostly I think it's okay. It's okay to be just the way we are. -KateStubblejumpers Cafehttp://stubblejumperscafe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-87975541887029905092018-11-21T21:41:50.211-05:002018-11-21T21:41:50.211-05:00And me.
