Went out to CVS and bought my girlfriend some dark chocolate candy with almond and sea salt. That starts and completes Chief’s Food preparation contribution along with yesterday’s wine. They can have fun cooking now. My goal the rest of the afternoon - stay out of the way!

Thanksgiving is a grind.

Happy Thanksgiving from Gibsonia. It's not TG outside Pittsburgh until you get a speeding ticket on the way to the Wife's brother's house.

Enjoy the Silver City Bowl!
I went through the nicknames for various CT cities, my daughter looked at me - cities have nicknames, no one she knows uses them. They don’t teach them anymore.

Bridgeport - Park City
Bristol - Clock City
Danbury - Hat City
Hartford - Insurance City
Manchester - Silk City
Meriden - Silver City
New Britain - Hardware City
New Haven - Elm City
New London - Whaling City
Norwich - Rose City
Waterbury - Brass City
Willimantic - Thread City
And there are others

East Hampton was known as "Goon City" for several decades, 60s, 70s 80s, but the problematic and quarrelsome youth of its heyday have aged out, and we all cause less trouble now. East Hampton was also known as Belltown, being perhaps at one time the leading manufacturer of bells worldwide.

Happy Thanksgiving to All Here, and may Peace, Joy, and a Really Good Basketball Season Be Yours.

It’s not really city like where Chief came from. However, in the holiday spirit I will update the list to Belltown.

I bet many of the guests will wish that some of these “enlighten” guys weren’t cooking after tasting the food. You got to know your skillset and women do love candy - even candy from a CVS. It doesn’t have to come from a fancy candy store.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to the boneyard, on this day you do what you want not what your family wants, in this case my in-laws. I’m just gonna drink beer and watch football, if that means I’m unsocial I don’t care lol. Of course got the TV going on in the kitchen and the living room.

That contribution may be prudent but not a good example of a grind.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone who makes the Boneyard the place it is.

Never grind just for the sake of grinding. Must also be efficient to be most effective.

Thanks, I hope your Thanksgiving was good too. Didn’t Dana Carvey of SNL use the word “prudent” a lot as George H Bush?
As Chief said in the OP - I am off from the Grind today - resume on Friday with intensity.

I moved there in '74. There were hippies down in the Village called "mushroom people."

I thought New London is the Whaling City and Middletown was the Elm City, but I haven’t thought about these nicknames for years.
