We got pizza and wings. Went to my aunt's house/mom's sisters house where my cousins and uncle were.

Looked okay til 9...my mom was hysterical and crying. My uncle and her got into a huge fight. I took her out of the house because it got bad.

This year no food, no alcohol, staying home. Just gonna see what happens. I'm extremely superstitious

finding to whomever I contribute never wins, so have saved a fortune; will help out later.

Usually home alone, expecting similar Nov. 3; have some wine in fridge, and maybe something to smoke.

Today I bought a bottle of Prosecco for New Year's Eve. A little early, sure. But never hurts to plan ahead. And if I happen to have an occasion to open it before then, so be it.

For the first time in about thirty years. It should be quite an experience since I understand quality is much better than when we last partook.

Since I don't plan to do this until a Biden win is absolutely certain, it may be a few days after Nov. 3.

I like it and it sure is less messy than frying or using the broiler. Cleans up beautifully -- literally wipes clean. Takes a bit of time to understand the instructions, but once you use it, not a big deal. I used the thermometer probe and the steaks came out just right. Totally smokeless also.

Enjoy!

A valium IV would be nice. I will probably feel sick all day, but should have something in my stomach.

Maybe I will make some risotto. Something comforting and easy to digest. Probably should get some wine too. I will be a nervous wreck.

At Fourth of July, I stocked up on some good fireworks to set off when Biden goes over 270EV. Will probly pop a cork, too, but undecided as to which I should do first.....leaning toward the fireworks.......
