Thanks Reader!! That definitely helped. They had a video that explained the difference between the types. My son asked for one for Xmas and I had no clue where to start. The one these ladies recommended is on sale from Kohls for $69.99 and I had $30 in Kohl's cash so I got it for $39.99. I like those kind of deals. It'll probably cost me more to ship it to him. 😆 Of course I had to order one for myself 😏😊 Thanks Rick! I will definitely try some of these out. Looking forward to seeing how they come out.

They're done, and they're not too bad roasted. Definitely better than boiled. Now the apple pie (with Fireball of course) is in the oven.

My husband says it's not Thanksgiving without mashed turnips and carrots. I can take it or leave it. This year I'm roasting them instead of boiling to death. Maybe it'll help?

All reasons why I'm a dog person...lol

I'm off today. Which means I'm cooking. Trying to get everything but the turkey cooked for Thursday. Couple of questions: Does anyone use an air fryer? If so, pros and cons? Also, turnips [rutabaga here in the south] ... who the hell first decided "Hey this stuff stinks to high heaven, let's cook it and eat it!" Hope everyone has a decent Monday!

I tried the random.org number generator that Cia mentioned in the article about trying a new genre. I got 106. Espionage. Hmmmmm.... should I try it?

Well, I've had my mom all of three hours. Her dementia is even worse than it was 3 weeks ago. It breaks my heart. She cried when I told her supper was ready. She cried when I said I couldn't bring her home until tomorrow. However, when I gave her a cookie she smiled brightly. If only a cookie could bring back her mind. 😪

Weird shit sometimes pops into my head. This was a good one!

Very nice Wayne.

Overall it was a pretty 💩 day for me too. One little thing after another, but even though it was all minor issues that kept piling up, I made it through and kept a positive attitude. I'll put that in the win column. Next.

I forgot my phone at home today. Surprisingly I wasn't as lost as I thought I'd be. My work phone however.... wish I could permanently lose it. One of my biggest pet peeves is when the phone rings, whoever is on the other line goes through all the prompts, listens to the message that you're out of the office or on another call, gets to the beep to leave a message and...... they hang up. WTF? Then they call back 4 more times withing the next 10 minutes and do the same damn thing! Meanwhile I'm on the phone with my boss trying to figure out what we can do about a title that's all messed up and he's Iike "you need to get that? Of course when I called the person back it was "Do you know when the trash pickup is next week. They don't pick up on Thanksgiving do they?" Idiots. I have a 3 day weekend. Taking care of mom tomorrow. It will be the first overnight since April. Have a good night everyone!

Yup.... only Satan could come up with a creature so...... odd.

@spyke @Danilo Syrtis @Wayne Gray Y'all have never seen me attempt to eat rice with chopsticks. I've been taught how to hold them. Shown numerous times and the rice could be sticky enough to form golf balls and stilll.... ugh. I won't even use a fork anymore. Soup spoon.... the perfect rice shovel!

Damn Google translate. It works with our cleaning girl at work.

Thanks Wayne! Capturing Lucifer us like trying trying to pick up rice with chopsticks... you only get a little bit of what you were actually after. These two are fun to write.

Faking it huh? Somehow I think you know more than you realize. Now.... an averagely intelligent, middle aged, boring, will work til she drops dead, has no clue what she's doing most of the time, wife and mom writing gay romance stories? Now that's faking it!! 😂 Go write Wayne.

Ahhhh... go back and read 'Wait. What, the Devil is Gay?' That was a really short story (1000 words) that I posted for the June Pride Flash Fiction Challenge (and won☺) That covers their first meeting. This is NOT going to be a full fledged story. These guys will only be popping in and out of each other's lives (and my head) sporadically, hence, it's under the 'series' blanket. I have no idea what they're going to be up to next, only time will tell! Good to hear from you trvlbug!

Yes... short story only! The shifter story is almost there. Mi amour... switch your French over to Italian and it's the same. Amica Mea is Latin. The next chapter I'll steal some French endearments from you 🤭, I promise!

Thanks spyke! Lucifer is pretty straightforward. But you're right. There's more to him than meets the eye. As for when they'll show up again? Who knows? Right now I've got another 3 or 4 chapters to go on the shifter story I'm working on.

Good morning everyone! It's rainy today. I'm really not feeling this whole work thing. I think I'm going to go do some Christmas shopping for the office. @Wayne Gray I think your insistent need to write a certain scene is contagious. Lucifer and Gabriel jumped into my brain to say hi and now I've added a new badge to the collection. They're going to be a series. I can't picture a whole story line for them. Their relationship is sort of complicated. I guess they'll gift me with their presence on their own timeline. Hope y'all have a good day!

So close. Gabriel could feel the telltale signs. He was just about at the point of no return when his hookup turned his head back over his shoulder and whined. “Is it hot in here?” Aaaannnnnnddddd….. Just like that, moment gone. Poof. Gabriel shook his head as he pulled away from the guy he had swiped right for. In the guy’s defense, his back was covered in sweat, a small pool gathered in the dip right above his ass crack and a bright pink flush covered, well, pretty

Once again Gabriel finds himself in Lucifer's realm. This time he wants answers. He wants boundaries.

It's nice to hear from you tim. You and Mike are missed. Things in my little corner of the world are plugging along okay. Missing my older son, but looking forward to seeing him in May. My sister-in-law (well, ex) is coming for Christmas. I can't wait, haven't seen her in almost 3 years. Pop in when you can. We'll be around. Hope everyone is having a good week!

This morning.... Me: Is it cold out? Hubby: Oh yeah! (Emphatically) Me: grabs phone to pull up weather app. It's 58 degrees. Not cold. Cool, but not cold. It's supposed to go up to 75 today so it's still sandal weather. Temps gotta drop below 50 before my feet will be subjected to the torture of socks all day. (Although I did get a really cute pair of $80 ankle boots on clearance for $16 ☺) Work started out by me discovering I'd missed a call on the emergency phone yesterday. Water leak that that luckily turned out to be the lake irrigation and not the county water. We would have had to shut off the water to the park if that had been the case. Add in the fact that my maintenance guys who are supposed to be on separate carts were both on one and neither one had grabbed their radio..... well just a little more than mildly annoying. Hope everyone has a good start to their week!

Awww... deep breath, take one thing at a time. Like @Reader1810 said.... hang in there.
