RON! If I didn't know you betta, I'd think you were TOTALLY messing with me! HA! Well, maybe you wudn't have tasted the Brussel sprouts if they had enough of that delicious-tasting sauce on top! Hope you had a great day as well, my man. xoxoxo

Alicia: HA! And in the end, it didn't even matter, right?? Yep...I got too wordy on the first post, so had to postpone...story of my life.

Smoog: Thank you. I AM (or can be) a shameless tease...and Clinton's great at helping out! Hope you're having a great day as well!

You are such a shameless tease! :oP I always enjoy your IV chats, Clinton is such a sassy fellow.

Glad your food contributions didn't suck! :o) xoxo have a great day Kathryn!

The best part of finding out this post was only a teaser is that I already read the Whore post first...lol.

2009-11-29T23:29:10.016-05:00

Gigi: Everything was divine, dahling! I hope your holiday(s) were divine as well?? And the garlic mashed cancels out the sprouts, right?!

book*addict: Aw. I hope that comes back around for you...if that's what you'd like to happen. Thanksgiving twice is a bit much, but better for all involved...saves a lot of bickering!

Fierce: I'm sorry (hangs head in shame). I hope I haven't built it up and now you'll be all disappointed that it's not this whole racy, decadent story. I'm hoping Clinton distracted you a bit! And you're always welcome w/the comments at your place!

dreamfarm Girl: HA! A Mock-Post....yeah, I guess it was! It was supposed to be the actual post, but got a tad too wordy! (Of course, now the insecure writer in me is worried that the actual post will be a letdown in comparison to the "hype"....)

Allegria: HA! I love this comment! You've accidentally posted it twice, but I'm leaving it...'cause I love it THAT MUCH!

Cynica Sarcastamos: Oh, my. You are such a WEALTH of information, missy. I take it you are not a FAN of actually EATING the sprouts??
Yes, I'm a tease. But, I'm a NICE tease.

Mark Price: Yep...the pots and yams were heaven, I tell ya. I don't even know if they're technically "brussels" or "brussel"...I got tired of arguing with "Word", so I let it self-correct. They don't mean THAT much to me! Hope your holiday was a good one!

Gillian: You got it, bay-bee! Finally! Someone on MY side!!

Collette: HA! I hear that, sista! Garlic mashed is a nice change, I think. I only did the mashed 'cause the kids don't really like the yams all that much. Happy Holidays to ya!

Gingerella: Nah, it's just a "Kathryn" kinda thing. I just knew it wud get a reaction out of you guys (you're all SO EASY). Sorry yours didn't go quite as you'd liked, but I'll bet it was just fine!

smileyfreak: YAY! What are the odds? I'm glad you're eating your veggies, sweetie! And really...the "Mock" part is no different than the real thing...same...everything!

Spot: Oh, what does Barbie know? With her perfect hair and her teeny waist and her deformed feet. I mean, seriously. So glad your Thanksgiving was a good one!

JD at I Do Things: You are such a brave, scary girl JD! That's what I love about you. Hardly anyone else even wants to pretend they like poor old BSs....and I think they're kinda fetching, too. Bah.

Jen: Oh, niiiice! California? (I DO have my states correct, eh? CT is Connecticut....and so on) So glad you're home safely...we had decent weather here as well!

Christiejolu: Oh, the bad press poor brussels spro...

2009-11-29T22:30:58.516-05:00

Christiejolu: Oh, the bad press poor brussels sprouts have gotten! Honestly...what did they ever do to deserve it? I'm glad your holiday was great, anyway!

Gavin: WE eat those! (Or, at least...I do. I think.) I hope you've got plenty of turkey left over for sandwiches. I'll be by at 1.

serendipitous: Aw! Carbs not your friend? Connor (12) tried the yams for the first time and proclaimed them "yummy". Success! Whee!

Lou: HA! Oh, come now Lou...you have to set a good example for the little ones! They're not THAT bad!

Heather: Oh, I'm glad we're not the only ones with this unusual tradition. Glad yours went well. I can appreciate being glad it's over....but, look what's coming!!

Wendy Blum: Thank you! (Honestly, it's all I had in the freezer...the "big" meal was the next day and I was totally winging it) Hope your holiday was yummy as well!

Lauren: Nah. My family holidays are usually pretty hilarious, actually. I hope yours were pretty fabulous as well??

Oddyoddyo13: Uh-huh...he makes for some interesting dialogue, right? He's so damn smart! (How're you doing, sweetie??)

Kimberly: Oh, your food sounds so yummy! I'm jealous that you've got turkey leftover...I looove turkey sandwiches...the one thing my sis does NOT send me home with!

Hellooooooooo Kathryn! OMG...you are NOT going to...

2009-11-29T22:05:13.880-05:00

Hellooooooooo Kathryn!

OMG...you are NOT going to believe this, but Tuesday I ALMOST bought myself a package of pre-prepared brussel sprouts at Trader Joes for Thanksgiving Day dinnner, that were seasoned in what sounded to be the most DELICIOUS sauce. The picture on the package looked freakin' TO DIE FOR!

And then I remembered something....

...I HATE Brussel sprouts!!

Bwhahahahahhha!

But I swear to god, the photo looked so good, that I almost tried them.

So glad to hear you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with your family!

Can't wait to read your next post. The title sounds FABU!

Hope you had a great day!

Enjoy your evening!

Glad you had a wonderful holiday of food and festivities. Just got back from a family visit to CA. So happy the weather was good and the airports under control.

2009-11-29T17:49:43.439-05:00

Brussel sprouts seem to always be the go-to vegetable for grossing people out, but a surprising number of people really do eat and enjoy them.

They're so cute! Bite-sized little cabbages. And you must sautee them in garlic.

Mmmm. Thank you for this post. I am now inspired to go out and buy and cook and EAT some Brussel sprouts.

2009-11-29T12:22:11.205-05:00

I love brussel sprouts now. But I hated them as a child. My sister and I used to call them barbie cabbages. Barbie wouldn't eat them either, just so you know.

Glad your contributions were a success! Hope you had a fabulous couple of days. I know I did!

This is very funny for me because I ate brussel sprouts with my dinner today lol :) A mock Thanksgiving sounds like a brilliant idea,I think I might have a Crimbo one of those this year :)

2009-11-29T10:23:15.588-05:00

I have to say I've never heard of brussel sprouts being part of Thanksgiving dinner...is it an east coast thing? ;)

Glad all went well. My own dinner didn't turn out as fabulous as I'd hoped, but ya win some, ya lose some, right?

2009-11-29T07:44:22.385-05:00

My daughter, hubby & I like brussel sprouts, but with the fam, we had the traditional green bean casserole & plain old potatoes. A garlic mashed would've been so welcomed!
I am glad you got to have 2 different meals. I am thankful I only had to spend 1 day with family! LOL!

double helping of brussels please.

Brussels sprouts. Hmm, I wonder what moron explorer thought we couldn't live without those things. Hulloooo leave those nasty things in Belguim and bring back some chocolate! Yep, don't like em. I bet the smashed potatoes were awesome though!

2009-11-29T03:48:59.939-05:00

My God you are a tease.
Did you know that a brussels sprout is not only nutritious but it makes a great ball for the cat when the real deal rolls under the frig?

Having a mock Thanksgiving means TWO incredible meals? I'm all over it! And having CK for leftovers? All the more yummy!

Your dialogue is always so clever; I can just see you onstage with your dazzling smile and shiny coffee-colored eyes answering the questions under the spotlight. Glad your holiday was fun! But I am dying to know about the Ribbon-Whore business. So was today's a Mock-Post?

2009-11-28T21:20:29.789-05:00

Thanksgiving sounds like it involved a LOT of eating on your end lol.
You know it's not nice to tease people with tantalizing titles and then not follow through with the actual post. Kathryn, I can't wait to read the actual post, it sounds like another rib-cracker.
Clinton Kelly, hilarious as ever.
:D
xoxo

2009-11-28T21:03:10.359-05:00

COOL!!! I wish I could celebrate thanksgiving twice. It used to be my absolute fave holiday. But since I haven't celebrated it with my fam since '05 =(, it's been kinda lame. But whatever, someday I'll celebrate it with them again, for sure. =)

2009-11-28T20:56:53.334-05:00

ICK!!! Brussel sprouts???? Those things ARE NOT edible. But the garlic mashed potatoes? DIVINE!

Glad to hear your family is so flexible - mine?? Would have never been! They would have been the ones to insist on having the family gather on THE day!!

Glad to hear your Thanksgiving and the Mock-Thanksgiving was a success!

2009-11-28T20:49:20.331-05:00

Glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving! And your dishes were divine.

I love brussel sprouts! When I make them, I have to make peas for the boys. DD and I are the only ones who eat sprouts.

I've had turkey with all the trimmings 3 days in a row now and I'm still not tired of it. One of the benefits of having the meal at my house ... I get to enjoy the leftovers for a few days.

2009-11-28T18:31:44.564-05:00

Congrats on having your prayer granted. I get my grandma to pray for me. It seems to work better. I hope that this rather upbeat blog indicates that your holidays weren't a completely, mind-numbingly, painful affair?

2009-11-28T18:22:48.744-05:00

Nothing wrong with brussle sprouts. I happen to be a fan of those myself. Never thought to have them on Thanksgiving. Always next year ;) Glad your holiday was wonderful and the food turned out yummy =)
