[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 673575, member: 18958"] Like me, Cedar? Then you better buy the horse detangler I bought. Good idea. What about Victorian Mourning Brooches. They are so lovely. I cringe when I admire them...not wanting the pain of them...to visit my house. Now I realize. It has already. It is here. Let me externalize it with a mourning brooch. Just the thing. Cedar, is that not adding problems to our already massive heap of them? We will all be on terrorist watch lists. Our few loved ones interviewed on CNN. I can see my son now. Telling Anderson Cooper that he saw the signs: particularly a certain lack of stability on the phone. And then Donald Trump would deport M. I vote for Victorian mourning brooches. Yes. That is why we are so vulnerable when the intent of her posts is questioned by other. It is not the content that is so important to us. It is the process. The opening. To ourselves and to others. M and I have are attracted to very different media content. Let me count the ways. The language difference is the least of it. Yesterday he was fascinated when he discovered that the Turkey pardoned by the president was named "Ernesto." That is the least of it. When we start feeling blue on Thanksgiving, think of Ernesto, and the lunacy of life will come to the fore. And you will smile at it all. We need to be prepared for Christmas with something equally ludicrous. Watch for it, ladies--and tell the rest. So we will have our secret antidote, at the ready. When one of us feels bereft we will have tucked into our bras (in my case, nightgown pocket) our secret Christmas Ernesto. In that way we will remember we have each other and ourselves. COPA Ham Recipe I made a ham for Thanksgiving (to give away. I am Jewish). The most delicious I have had (and the first I have ever made). Mix together a glaze of 2 c honey, 1/4 cup apricot all fruit spread (not jam), the juice of an orange, (if you want, a little orange zest), maybe a quarter cup of pineapple juice from the fresh pineapple, 2 T (or more to taste) dijon mustard. (Instead of the apricot spread, I would think Apricot or Peach nectar would work.) Score the ham in a diagonal criss cross pattern. Put 1/4 cup glaze on ham. With toothpicks secure fresh pineapple slices all over the ham. Spike the ham with whole cloves. Maybe 20. If you want a nice presentation put maraschino cherries centered in the pineapple slices. Put the ham on a rack with 2 cups of water underneath in the pan. Baste every 10 to 15 minutes with 1/4 cup of glaze. For a 8 lb ham I baked maybe an hour and 45 minutes at 350. The last 5 to 10 minutes turn the broiler on to carmelize the glaze. (This part is important.) I bought a good ham from Costco: Smoked Master carve. [/QUOTE]
