    The SC State Parks has a scavenger hunt from Thanksgiving until New Year’s Day called Dashing through the Parks. Some things require going to some of the parks while others you can do at home. You earn points and if you earn enough you get some swag - tshirt, knit cap, etc. The top level enters...

    As a kid I spent the night before Thanksgiving at my grandparents. She put the turkey in before going to bed & would turn the oven off leaving the bird in there all night. She would turn the oven back on when she got up. It was really, really dry, but I thought it was the best. She would let me...

    I’ve got a 5 gallon bucket for brining. Turn a cooler on its end to put the bucket in. Always put in the tub in case the cooler fell over. I’ve never smoked one before, but I would like to. Carrots - I use about 1-2 carrots per person.

    Brine the turkey or not? Smoke or roast? Stuffing or dressing? We are roasting. We have brined before but it’s been several years. My side dish I add is Carrots with orange marmalade cooked In Blenheim ginger ale until the liquid has boiled away. Pro tip: don’t breathe in when cooking with...

    Wind chill in the teens, not sure I can remember that low in mid November. Snow flurries this afternoon. 2 more practices & the State Cross Country meet on Friday. Then I get some time off from coaching for a short time.

    After a long week of travel and a couple of extra long days on Thursday & Friday at school, I did my best to do little over the weekend. Upcoming week will be a long one too.

    Same near me. Most are out of business. US 29 runs from DC to New Orleans and once called the Main St of the South. The interstate killed all of these places.

    Back in ‘97 we started for home from Gettysburg late in the afternoonon a Saturday intending to only drive a few hours. No widespread internet then and every where we stopped on I-81 was booked. One chain had a room in Roanoke their sister location. Stupidly, we told them we didn’t want to go...

    I’m not surprised he’s a nice guy. I know he does a lot of charity stuff and I’ve heard him in long format interviews where the real person comes out more. He understood the crowd cast him as the “heel” and he played to it rather than fight it. Our seats were right in front of where he parked...

    Sitting in a hotel room that smells like mildew wishing I was sleeping in my CI. Our daughter & her boyfriend are with us so that is why aren’t camping. Four in a 560 Ultra is all little tight. We’re all here for the NASCAR race tomorrow night. Stayed in this same place last year for this. On...
