Oh boy am I stuffed. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday food wise, especially because frankly my mom’s cooking is simply amazing. Anyone whose ever eaten at my house can contest to this. Not many peoples mom’s cook to the extent my momma does, and with the amount of food you’d think she’s feeding a small army. She is the italian Martha Stewart but nice and not drunk 24/7 (or so I’m told). Anyways my mom always pulls out all the stops and this year was no exception. I now give you the Belvedere Thanksgiving menu. Might I remind you there were only 10 of us.
First Course
- Mussels in a white wine cream butter sauce with smoked salmon and scallions (My bro made this they were incredile)
Main Course
- Turkey - That has been brined and soaked in buttermilk for day
- Mashed Potatoes- baked in the oven with a bit of ricotta, best potatoes ever!
- Stuffing with sausage- I only get this once a year
- Burnt Peas- Peas roasted with prosucitto and onions til burnt
- Stuffed Mushrooms
- Roasted Root Vegetables
- Asparagus roasted with shallots, and breadcrumbs
- Sweet Potatoes with bananas and a brown sugar pecan crust
- Pearl Onions in a cream sauce (Not my thing)
- Homemade Cranberry sauce
- Steamed Cauliflower
- Homemade Gravy
Dessert
- Apple and Pumpkin Pie (from the bakery)
- Banana pudding with chessman cookies, rum whipped cream and homemade Chocolate sauce (I made this)
- Chocolate covered Marshmallows
As you can gather Im so stuffed and need the healing power of the TV right now.

Mix
So for the most part when I have my ipod/phone on these days I keep it on shuffle. I have a running mix which is made of various genres of music and is about 120 songs long and growing, hence forth i keep it on shuffle.
The other day my Ipod took it upon itself on shuffle to assemble what quite possibly be the gayest possible mix it could make while I was at the gym. It’s a little embarassing.
1. Bad Romance - Lady Gaga (ok i started the work out to this!)
2. Liz Phair with Material Issue - Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)- yes the classic cartoon theme song and back when she was fuckin good
3. Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy (The Kevin Sheilds remix)
4. Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence ( Depeche Mode is gay by default in my book)
5. The Sahngri-Las - Leader of the Pack (Classic)
6. Glee Cast - Halo /Walking on Sunshine ( I am love with this show)
7. Toni Basil - Mickey! (Who doesn’t love this song!)
8. Glee Cast - Somebody to Love
9. Lady Gaga - Paparazzi (I just love her so much)
10. David Bowie - Rebel, Rebel ( My all time favorite karaoke track)
11. Blondie - Rapture (Rapture Fever)
12. New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (I prefer New Order over Joy Division)
13. Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger
14. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (I have a problem)
Aside from this selection the rest of my running mix contains 80’s, 90’s Alt Rock, Pop, Glee , and the occasional classic rock ballad, to be specific Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf .

Onion rings!
Steamy!
So last week when I was sick with faux swine flu I ended up bingeing on my favorite sketch comedy show “Kids in the Hall”. Somewhere in the third season I came across a pop sensation that I have seemed to have forgotten, I am talking of course about Tammy!
For those who don’t know Tammy (Bruce McCulloch) was created by Buddy Cole (Scott Thompson). Tammy’s songs are repetetive and the lyrics are nonsensical and just out there! In the course of the show she has three hits “Dance”, “Perhaps”, and “Roses (I’m Not gonna spread)”. All 3 are pretty catchy and her videos are genius, she could definately make it today as a pop star. Let’s take a look at her lyrics for “Perhaps”:
Yes
No
Yes
No
Perhaps
Frankly this song I can get into. Unlike the shit Mariah has been spouting I’m not gonna pull up her lyrics on my computer, I have to much respect for it. Although the best song surely is “Roses” the video is just too funny complete with roses squirting out cum. Though If i had anyone to compare Tammy to today it is Lady Gaga. One because of there both Tranny like nature! Two, because of they both probably have power fags behind them!
