Are you cold?

Not bad. It was 24 degrees today. Thursday it will be 55. When it gets to -20, then that is cold!

I miss United States Thanksgiving. It is just a normal day here, full day of work.

Kinda sad. I like getting up cooking, watching the Macy's Day parade. We are going to celebrate on Saturday though. I have a turkey and will make all the fixings and I will force everyone to enjoy MY holiday.

Canada Thanksgiving does not compare to the States.

That's awesome. Mushrooms tend to be something that kids wrinkle their nose at. It's nice that yours love them. I love mushrooms in eggs.

When I was a kid, pizza and burgers made me like mushrooms. It was the pairing up with those foods and the way it tasted with them more than them being mushrooms itself.

No big plans this year. I'm still working them out. People in my family and their spouses all seem to be going in different directions this year. How about you?

i was hoping to be home, but that is still a week off. we will be spending it with the man's family. lots of family show up and everyone brings a dish or two. it's always lots of fun and very filling.

nuttedtwice:

shout out to the vietnamese kids named phuc, dam, bich, son, dat, nga and so much more for enduring the namecalling and jokes about your name; you’re strong and beautiful.

yellowxperil:

& đông and dủng

batsnack:

lemme tell yall, my mom came to america when she was around 4 y/o and went to school in america and the white kids made jokes about her name becus her name was MyDung. when she was old enough she changed her legal name to a more “acceptable” one becus she was afraid it wouldnt b seen professional in america. she was too embarrassed to say her name out loud. when she did have to, she’d say it quietly. ever since i was a kid i would notice her behavior when ppl asked her name. so yeah fuckin SHOUTOUT to vietnamese kids w/ vietnamese names who get teased, yall amazing

rubygoby:

Alright, this post has been going around and I think it’s high time for a lesson in Vietnamese. People who tease foreigners about their names, sit the fuck down and let me show you what those names mean.

- “Phúc” (Phuc) means phúc đức, phúc hậu, hạnh phúc - kindness, merit and happiness.

- “Đam”, “Đàm” (Dam) means yên tĩnh, yên lòng, an tâm - tranquility, calmness, relief.

- “Bích” (Bich) means ngọc bích, ngọc lục bảo - emerald, jade (can be understood as both the color and the precious gemstones).

- “Sơn” (Son) means núi, mạnh mẽ và uy nghiêm như núi - mountains, as strong and majestic as the mountains.

- “Đạt” (Dat) means thành đạt, vẻ vang - success, honor, glory.

- “Nga” (Nga) means xinh đẹp, tốt đẹp - beauty, kindness.

- “Đông” (Dong) means mùa đông, hướng đông - winter, East.

- “Dũng” (Dung) means dũng mãnh, anh dũng - strength, power, bravery.

- “Dung” (Dung) means xinh đẹp, yêu kiều - beauty, elegance, grace.

Can you see it? Can you see how beautiful these names are? And you dare compare them to your vulgar profanities?

Names are extremely important in Vietnamese culture. They represent the virtues, qualities, characteristics that parents want their children to possess. They represent the hopes and dreams of Vietnamese parents. THEY REPRESENT A VERY HUMAN BEING.

WHEN YOU TEASE SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR NAME, YOU ARE NOT ONLY INSULTING THEM, YOU ARE MAKING THEM ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, OF THEIR OWN NAME AND THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, EVEN THEIR OWN ORIGIN.

DO NOT MAKE FUN OF OUR PEOPLE, DO NOT MAKE FUN OF OUR LANGUAGE AND DO NOT MAKE FUN OF OUR CULTURE.

No. I will need to spend at least $150 to do it my way. I don't know of anywhere around here that I can go pick something up.

Feeding 25? lol

 

[bluemuse]

I have a very long list for the mourning moon.

 

[phantom4533]

I have a not-too-long shopping list.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

Braving the store early today, hoping to get in and out and start cooking! I did decide on store-bought pies, though. I feel like a slacker, but it's a shortcut I need to take.

Life is all about making compromises.

Pie shaming is uncalled for.

Yeah!

Any day you get pie is a good day. I can't wait to sink my teeth into that sweet triangle of pie.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

This guy made me smile! I'd totally swipe right! http://www.someecards.com/love/dating-relationships/wine-tinder/

Off now for the Thanksgiving fixings. You pie shamers can shut up, tyvm.

Pie skimping eventually leads to canned turkey breast.

Pie skimping - Not Even Once!

 

[pointless]
