Miss Ginger welcomes new GingerSnap "Joy" to the FABULOUS world of the G-Snaps! We're glad to have you, honey, and now that you're part of the family I'm gonna freak you out! You know from time to time Miss G likes to do "look alikes", where she puts two pictures together to show the resemblance. So here ya go:
Now, here's the really freaky part- the lady on the right is the late Momma G! There is another photo of her when she was a bit younger, where she is wearing (get ready) a salmon colored top, and her hair is a bit whiter and straighter, but I can't find it right now! Anyway, in my mind the resemblance is uncanny, but that's not all! Her name was Joy! Joycelyn, really, but everyone called her Joy!
Anway, welcome to the GingerSnaps! We're gald to have ya!
Miss Ginger has had her peeps add 2 new features to her FABULOUS Blog!!! Check out her lovely "meez" showing off a signature look in her dressing room! And, at the bottom of the gadgets, Miss G has added a link to her old J-land archive for the "newbie" G-Snaps who may want to go back and see the original posts! Love to all!
Our weather for Thanksgiving could have been worse but it wasn't great. The worst weather in Texas for Miss Ginger is when it's about 70 degrees outside and humid. It's too cool to run the air conditioning but certainly not cold enough for the heat, so the humidity just hangs in the house with nothing to remove it. The sheets feel limp and sticky at night and there's not much one can do about it. And you should see what it does to her wigs! Anyho, today Miss G was thrilled to discover upon awaking that the cool, dry air has returned! It was brisk this morning, and now it's breezy and sunny! Perfect weather! Tonight it will get cooler, and it will be perfect weather for the turkey and sausage gumbo Miss G is making from the leftover turkey! The bones and such are boiling down to make the broth, and later this afternoon Miss G will make the roux and put it all toghether! It's a great way to get every bit of use out of a Thanksgiving turkey, instead of just throwing the carcass away!
Black Friday has come and gone, and it was a rousing success for Miss G and her stores. If there is an economic downturn, it certainly wasn't apparent Friday!
Miss Ginger scheduled herself sat the Galleria, because a.) it's close to chez Ginger, b.) she has 2 stores there, c.) it's the 4th largest mall in the US, and d.) it's FABULOUS! It was packed, but all the customers seemed to be in great moods, not bitching and whining about the long lines and crowded garages like they sometimes do. They waited patiently to be rung up, and really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Today Miss G went into the office for a few hours to recap the successes, then went off to have her mani and pedi (paws and claws, in kitty speak!)

Miss Ginger's Thanksgiving Turkey turned out FABULOUS! She cooked it on the rotisserie outside on the grill, which worked out beautifully. She wanted it to self-baste, so when she trussed it, she tucked a bacon slice under each wing, and stuck a stick of butter in the cavity. YUMMY! I turned out beautiful and moist!
Her pecan pie was yummy, too! But the best part was that all three of Miss G's surviving bubba's came for the holiday, plus friend Karen from work. We had fun putting the meal together, well, together! Miss G made her fave green bean casserole and some yummy cauliflower, and brother B made the stuffing, gravy, and mashed taters! A good time was had by all, and now we are watching the Texas/Texas A&M game, and the Aggies are getting annhialated.Hook 'em!
Miss Shelby is all ready for her Black Friday Shopping! As you can see, she has a return to make at Saks before she fights the crowds for those Day After Thanksgiving specials!
This post went haywire so it's gonna be kinda random. Nutwood Beth blogged about cauliflower, and Miss G is making that for Thanksgiving. Then Northwest Dan disclosed his entire TG menu, and Miss G thought she should do so as well. So, Miss Ginger is going to make the turkey outside on the rotisserie, weather permitting. Brother B is bringing the stuffing, since Miss G doesn't think it's safe to stuff a bird when she's cooking it outside since the oven temp is hard to control. She's also making cauliflower, which she grills in a foil packet with olives, pimentos, and garlic mixed in. Sounds weird, but it's way yummy. Of course, green bean casserole and mashed potatoes. It's a small group this year, just the 3 surviving bubbas, plus friend Karen whose doesn't have time to fly home for TG since she works for the big M and has to be at work at 4 unGodly am!
Is anyone else mourning the loss of "Strobe" on Sirius Sattelite radio? When they merged to form Siruis XM, "Strobe" the disco station, went away. The release from Sirius XM says "if you liked "Strobe" you'll love "70's on 7", but it't not the same. There was a lot of music in the 70's that wasn't disco, and while it was great music it's not what I want to drive to. Thank Goddess that "BPM" and "Chrome" merged beautifully!
Prayers for Mistress Maddie on the loss of her beloved pet. I am so in love with my kitties. They bring me so much joy as I know Miss Starbooty did for Mistress Maddie. I know you'll be sad for a while, sweetie, but here's a little something amusing that hopefully will make you smile!
Miss Ginger LOVES the blogoshpere!!! Today she saw a comment from one favorite blogger (Nutwood Beth) on another favorite blogger's blog! They are both GingerSnaps, so it's kinda like a SnapLink®!( I'm gonna patent that! ) It's a full circle! Beth: you'll love Miss A's blog! I think the name Miss Alaineous fits it so well, because other than the obvious, her opinions and insight are so incredibly diverse and, well, miscelleaneous! And she's got a heart of gold and a soul to match. GingerSnaps: if you haven't checked out these places yet- follow the links and head on over!
