And if you are looking for New Grist, four LCBO stores in Nepean have it:

543 West Hunt Club* (at Merrivale);

1363 Woodroffe Ave at Baseline (right next to the mentioned Beer Store);

3657 Richmond Road* (Bells Corners);

120 Riocan Ave* (don't know where that one is).

The three marked with asterisks also carry la Messagere Blonde. None of them have la Messagere Red.

The blonde is on sale for 14.95 until December 5 - regular price 15.95.

Cheers!

I peel the orange and limit the amount of zest 'cause I don't really like the shock of the intense orange flavor. Maybe dried zest would be a little easier, or just skip it. You could flavor after cooking with a splash of orange liqueur if it needed a bit more. Some people put some orange concentrate in, but I don't like it too juicy.

Not going to BE's, but he and I are planning on going to Open Original Shared Link on Friday, if the weather isn't too heinous.

thanks, Jess!

the Spit sounds like just our kind of place. Have fun!

HEY! Thanks for all of this, POeter! Two of these locales are walkable from my place. I am going to purchase the New Grist - - methinks Will might like it. He's never been into blondes.

We Ottawans gotta stick together. We're the only ones who know how to pronounce Woodroffe.

Big storm here. Took more than an hour to get from the boat to my house last night (4 miles). Power was out for a while and it's still flickering. Can't imagine what the roads are like. I have to figure out if I'm going to try to get into work or not. Not that I need to work, but I don't have a fireplace and it's pretty chilly in my house.

Outside temp currently 21. Reminding you that I'm in Seattle, where a low of 30 in February is a remarkable event.

One kitty for your toes & the other under your blanket? Too bad BE isn't there to keep you warm.

Crap, I was thinking about you west coasters this morning.. . . . . . ....Victoria, BC had 12 cm of snow yesterday and their temp is sitting around -6 C... . . .. ..unheard of 'round those parts!

Shroooomie! News on the miners? No news, I fear, is often not good news in these instances.. . . . ....

[jerseyangel]

Yikes Jess--stay warm!

Think you need BE to keep you warm!!!! Sending lots of warm ((((HUGS))))

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!!!

Going to pick up our son this afternoon so I'll be cooking my arse off and doing non stop laundry (that is when he's not singing in the shower where the washer/dryer are)

Jeepers, Jess, this sounds like a three-cat day under the blankets as Kerrigne says. How come you have no heat in your house???

Em, I am afeared you are right; hope is fading fast even on the west coast amongst the mining community where they are a hardy bunch of survivors. I saw video yesterday from CCTV of the blast coming out of the mine and I don't think it was survivable. Gas levels are still too high to risk going in and possibly setting off another explosion. It seems like there may be a smoldering fire burning down below - it has been a rather gaseous mine It is all very harrowing and frustrating for those affected.

How awful! It was a coal mine, right? They have horrible dangerous gases and collapses. The Chilian mine was metal or jewels. Those usually don't have the gas that is found in the rock around coal.

Think I have bought all the food I need for Turkey day except we get the smoked turkey tomorrow. Fortunately, it's cold because I can't fit the food in the fridge. I have to clean & re- organize a little. It's about 40 degrees so things will be fine on the porch for a little bit.

Shroomie, This is just awful..... are they sending in another robot/camera??

Righto, you pfellow Commonwealthian!

[Jestgar]

I heard about the robot. Hope that turns out OK.

My power went off about 5 am. I left at 11 when the house reached 45 degrees. I'm at BE's house, but his parents don't have power either, so he's gone to get them. :o :ph34r: :ph34r: I'm in his shop, so can't hang around. Just wanted to email my prof that I won't make it to class tomorrow and what should I do about my homework?

Stay warm y'all.

Do you mean finding out what your assignment is or handing your homework in? Can you email the homework? Sounds like you have a legitimate excuse to hand it in late. Glad you're at BE's. Guess this means you decided to spend Thanksgiving with him (or is fate forcing your hand?).

Just picked up our son at school. He's out eating a gluten packed dinner at a chinese restaurant. I decided that it would be fun for him and dad to enjoy eating without my restrictions tonight. Tomorrow it's gluten-free mac and cheese (for them, not me). I had planned on making Jewish Penicillin but he's not sick anymore. Of course I also have three huge bags of laundry that need to be done. I have to admit it's so nice to have him home that I don't mind doing it.

Happy Turkey Day to all. My thoughts and prayers are still with the miners but it is looking grim. Not a very happy holiday for them or their families.

P.S. question for my brilliant psillies:

I'm making a potato casserole and a squash casserole Thanksgiving morning. I need to make them in advance because I won't have room in the oven to heat them (making 2 ducks) so I want them cooked in advance so I can microwave them. They have eggs in them but again they will be fully cooked. Can I keep them outside if it's supposed to be 46 degrees. I won't have any room in my refrigerator for them.

(((HUGS)))

Loey

[jerseyangel]

Lough--no, it's too warm to keep yer casseroles outside. Lord knows, you do not need phood poisoning on top o' everything else!

Can you re-stack stuff in yer fridge to get them in?

[jerseyangel]

Yes! Underneath a cozy blankie -- Jyessss, BE and his mom and dad. . . . . ...

Can you just picture that....
