Motor City Red Thong Mafia #31 :: Home of the DIESELS (Rated R)

[ILClaymate]

WELCOME TO MAFIA HOUSE #31!!!!!   

Looks like y'all needed a bigger home to play in, here's a new home and a review of how you got started:

Just as a reminder, here's how you got started here in your new home...it was all my fault.   

...because I was a heartless meanie and deleted the Masonic Temple thread...here's a new home for you guys eh?!?
I'm sorry, really. I didn't know you were still using that thread to scheme... I mean, plan your next wild weekend!

So I humbly offer you a new home, your very own forum, and hopefully a place you can congregate and plot your next gathering without the risk of being sent into cyber oblivion.

And if this isn't enough to atone for my sins, you may sentence me to a hundred lashes with a red CA thong. But only if they are administered by you know who.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 31 THREADS!!! 

Ok, all....lets see some purdies...DIESELS always welcome!   

[ILClaymate]

And 2 great Diesels to get y'all started!





Happy Thanksgiving all!

Good morning everybody 

Sharon, Safe travels today 

Brenda, I saw your post. Thanks! 

Chrisie, I want to hear your answer too.  Do you celebrate Thanksgiving with both the Canadians and Americans or only one?

Shirley, Please rest up today.  Take care of yourself and don't over do it.  We want to see you get better.

Kim, Good morning  , Love those blends  .  Enjoy that bologna, tater tots, mac and cheese, and green beans  .

Now I'm off to go clean up the kitchen so I can make more of a mess today.   

Have a Happy Happy Happy Thanksgiving.  Safe travels to everyone.  Enjoy the time today that you spend with family and friends.  Don't eat to much.  Who am I kidding.  EAT UP! 

[*joemomma]

Mornin Beth!

Happy Turkey Day!

I'll have you know that I will be enjoying a Thanksgiving Filet Mignon today




And then I shall nap.

[Pepe]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

I know everyone is busy but you do need to sit down and relax for a minute and have just a bite to eat. 

COFFEE IS READY!  !  Hot tea is in the pot nice and steamy BETH and EVELYN!  THEA I just know you really, really need this nice cup of Herbal tea!  JEANNE hot chocolate is ready!

Just giving you some nice hot cinnamon rolls out of the oven with a crock full of whipped butter to slather over them plus some hot, fresh blueberry muffins.  A pitcher of frosty fresh squeezed orange juice or pink grapefruit juice to.  That should be enough as most of you will be eating dinner early.

SHARON my sweet since you are on the road I have  your Irish Creme coffee ready for you to take with you plus a couple of nice hot fluffy biscuits with egg and ham all wrapped up for you to keep it warm.  Please if the roads are bad stay home!!!!

[mcraig2]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

And...happy new home!

Been up since 7.  Turkey is in the oven and I'm exhaused already!  That sucker is HEAVY (23 lbs)!

Anyway, wanted to stop by and wish all of you (even the Canadian Kids) a very Happy Thanksgiving.  May your day be filled with the people you love and love to be near!

Our Claymaniacs reason for "being" --


                        AND...





AND...one of my very special reasons to be thankful today...

[Pepe]

BETH, reading your menu!  How wonderful!  Chocolate Cheescake with red raspberries? Yummmmmmmmmmm!

SPIKEE, who in the world is going to eat all that food.  I wouldn't have enough room in my fridge for all the leftovers!  I know Happy starts cooking and can't stop!   

BARB, your menu sounds fantastic too.  Yep you will be cooking your friend today, be gentle!!!! 

KIM, steak is always good.  My husband does not like turkey.  So he is not upset about staying home today.  His favorite is Rib Eye steak with baked potatoes and a Ceasar salad which is exactly what we are having today.  Good and easy.  Although he will be grilling the steaks in the snow as it is a white winter wonderland here this morning. 

CINDY, working to hard again?  You promised to be a good girl.  I think eight hours is enough for the company.


Hope all that are traveling have safe roads to travel on, enjoy your loved ones and eat hearty.



                                              HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

[KSChristian4Clay]

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I truly am thankful for all my friends here.  

[KSChristian4Clay]

Today is Braeden's third birthday! Can you believe it?

Remember this pic?



And this was less than a month ago ....

[ChrisieD]

Morning 

You all moved the house on me !!! Carolyn, thanks for leaving the lights on   

Well, usually I do make a turkey and have friends over on the week-end, but this year, it just didn't work out  So it is just a normal day here today but I will call all my family to wish them all a happy day.

So to all of you here, HAPPY THANKSGIVING  to all of you and enjoy your time with family and friends and know that I am truly thankful for ALL OF YOU !!!

Sharon, safe travels to you. We were hit hard but with freezing rain and some snow, not to much, but  it too hubby about 2 hours to get to work  the roads were REALLY bad.

So safe travels to everyone going out today and pray for no freezing rain or snow next week for our travels as well 

Have a great day everyone

Happy Thanksgiving, Dear Sistah Peeps!

Sorry I haven't been around the past couple days.  Just feeling overwhelmed.  I feel so bad that I haven't responded to everybody, but I know you guys accept everybody unconditionally, so I'll get past that.

MAR, a 23 lb turkey!     Did you stuff it or are you cooking the stuffing on the side????  BTW, we're going to "christen" our Procter Silex tabletop roaster oven today.  I'm putting Phil in charge.  I'll let you know the verdict.    And the picture of little Dylan (?) is just precious.  You have every right to be a "proud grandma"! 

Everybody's menus sound wonderful and so varied!  Now I'm feeling guilty about not cooking the mashed white potatoes.  Did I tell you that the Holidays bring on massive surges of guilt in my silly mind?   

SHIRLEY, the rib eye dinner sounds perfect.  Next year, I may do just that.

MEESA, Braeden is such a beautiful little (but now big!) boy!  You are a very proud Auntie, that is obvious! 

KIM, enjoy your filet mignon!!!!  You deserve it.    I so wish you could join us in Michigan next week.

BETH, I know your Thanksgiving will be hectic but wonderful with all of the little cousins running around. 

I'm keeping my eye on the "big prize" awaiting us all one week from tomorrow!      It's helping me to keep my sanity today.



 

[claydevotee]

CHRISIE, we are so thankful for YOU, dear friend! 

CAROLYN, have a good one! 

I'm off now....

[mcraig2]

MAR, a 23 lb turkey!     Did you stuff it or are you cooking the stuffing on the side????  BTW, we're going to "christen" our Procter Silex tabletop roaster oven today. 

Yep...23!!!!  And I did stuff it, but I'm making some stuffing on the side, too...something for everyone! 

Let me know how that roaster thing goes, please!  I almost bought one to cook the turkey this year, but I was chicken (no pun intended)!  I don't know anyone who has ever used one before, so I was askeered to try it.  Lemme know if it turns out good...and I'll go buy one for next year!  Would sure free up the oven for other things, huh?

(And, PS...you don't have to apologize...I never remember everyone and I don't post all that much anymore at all.  So...you have nothing to apologize for...I mean...unless we need to break out the Oust!)

[*joemomma]

HUH.

My dad called. (not Willie or Elvis...the other one)
I missed the call so he left me a message.

It said...

"Hi Kim...it's your dad. Just wanted to tell you to hide. They are looking for turkeys today"

 

 

[ann]

Kim - You are not a turkey Dad
Enjoy that filet! Is Joey still in NY?

Okay - Marilyn - I love those Dylan pics. Just makes me 

Brenda - YEAH on the car. Can't wait to smell see it!!! Have a great time w/ Marilyn. Know you will.
Thanks for the heads up on Enchanted. Can't wait.

To everyone hosting the day - My hat's off to you & try to enjoy. 

I've just taken out the 2 apple pies & the blueberry one Sharon - I'll try and save a pie for Woody.

Jeanne - You are making Europe very, very inviting. 

To all my RTMers -  I'm thankful for all of you 

[cl4clay]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone - I went back and read some of the menus - sounded great - all of them.

I made a pumpkin praline pie - it looks delicious. Quite different from a regular pumpkin pie. It has a layer of cream cheese filling then the pumpkin layer and then a praline layer on top of that.

I'm also making a spinach parmesan strudel to take over to my daughters. She makes a turkey the same way my husband did when he was living. She makes a bread stuffing  (also her dad's) and then mashed potatoes, sweet potatoe casserole and of course, more desserts. I also have a pumpkin roll to bring over and a praline cheesecake that I whipped up last night.

OK - everyone - I love you all, but I've got to get started. Talk to you all later - have a great holiday and may you all be blessed with good health and happiness. Hugs to all - Your "cookie lady" - Evelyn

HUH.

Ann, are your pies as delicious as your cheesecake and cookies? 

Did y'all know that the "quote" button disappears when the mansion closes? I didn't. Didn't know we had a new mansion either. It confused me greatly while reading. 

Marilyn, thanks for the dessert suggestion. It sounds yummy. And it gave me ideas on using some things I already have in the house. 

Thea, loved your post of icons. It was all you needed to "say". 

Barb, your menu is nearly identical to our family's usual menu except for the veggie dish. My father doesn't allow veggie dishes on his table. 

Meesa, the pics of Braedon are so cute. It puts life into perspective, doesn't it? When do you leave for Wichita. It looks like it will be nearly a full house. YEA!!!

Darn, there were so many other people I wanted to respond to, but can't remember right now. Happy people were here last night and this morning. Hope you all have a wonderful day today, whether it's Thanksgiving day or thanksgiving day for you.

Going to go read our BF's new blog now. I read somewhere that he's going to be with UNICEF at an undisclosed place on Christmas. Since we shouldn't be guessing where he'll be on a public board, why don't we each send our guesses to one person here who will then let us know if anyone guessed right after we know? Anyone think that would be fun?

We have snow outside. Our turkey is beginning to fill the house with a nice aroma. Jim is curled up reading a book. My parents and brother are all set with their meal ready to warm up. Cathy & Steve are fixing their traditional turkey dinner. Jill & Derik are at the Lions game (I think), Bart is having Thanksgiving dinner with his co-workers on the run, and Emiley and the girls are in Troy with her family. All is well with our family even though we're not together today. Hope All is Well with all of you.

Here is one family we all know and love:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING RTM FRIENDS
