Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to 11 years. Not even close to what she deserves, but it’s better than nothing.
Well if that isn't a good start to the holiday season, I don't know what is. Happy holidays y'all! US Thanksgiving is next week so if you're hosting, you are probably already prepping in some way. What's your menu? Any special favorites? What's your signature cocktail? If you have your Christmas decor up already, you're dead to me.
Can't remember if I posted that my wife's Uncle passed recently so his remaining four siblings are going to do Thanksgiving with just them so we have no plans this year. We're going to do four days of lounging around, binge watching TV and doing jack shit. It sounds glorious.
i would argue that what I do is payback for her running Xmas hallmark movies on the living room tv for two months straight
I make a pretty killer Thanksgiving punch. There isn’t much measuring behind it, it’s just cider, sparkling cider, vodka, triple sec, squeeze of an orange and garnished with cinnamon sticks, orange slices and cranberries, plus whatever other odd ingredient I feel like throwing in. Every year my dad pulls me aside and tells me to not put alcohol in the punch. I always do and my mom gets trashed. It’s the only time I think she consumes any alcohol all year and it’s hilarious.
Our family batches Hawaiian martinis for thanksgiving, xmas, and new years. Roughly equal parts stoli vanilla, malibu, triple sec, pineapple juice, pineapple chunks. Make a few gallons of that a day or two before hand and let it sit in the fridge. That stuff is straight jail fuel. The first time I had, my brother, wife and I ended up doing donuts in the pasture trying to run over skunks. The last time I had it, the hangover was so bad I permanently quit drinking shortly thereafter.
That will be interesting... rumour has it that a shit-ton of funds have been transferred to the Government of the Bahamas... so maybe he just bought his escape?
I honestly thought she was getting zero jail time. Those people never get what they deserve. She’ll now probably claim to be a native and will do her time in a “Healing Centre”.
This is your annual reminder ahead of REAL Thanksgiving so nobody can get mad at me for posting it afterwards: Stuffin muffins. You make your regular stuffing/dressing mix, but instead of putting it all in one big pan, you grease up a muffin tin or two, scoop into those and bake in the oven. That way nobody has to fight about getting a crispy edge piece and everybody gets their own without complaining about someone else taking too much.
Oh YES YES. I will be stealing that this year. I generally make way too much food. I will half the dressing recipe to limit it down to a pan of muffins.
So this Thanksgiving will be rough. No canned pumpkin or sugar pumpkins on sale in Sweden this year so I am forced to use butternut squash instead. No cranberries either. It turns out that most cranberries in Sweden come from Ukraine. Who knew? My tip to y’all. Butterfly that bird. Cuts down cooking time by a lot. Place it right on the oven rack and put stuffing in a pan underneath to catch the drippings.
It’ll be a white collar resort. Filled with yoga studios and internet access. I bet if you put these same criminals in genpop in a Supermax and they had to survive with the worst of the worst maybe they’d rethink committing their crimes before hand.
Agreed. Jeff Skilling did “hard time” playing golf, when in a perfect world hardened convicts would use a tattoo needle and his body as a permanent post-it note for their amusement until he hanged himself with a bedsheet.
It's not my Thanksgiving, but I just got a big turkey breast to do this recipe that just popped up. I really enjoyed it with the chicken he posted earlier, so am really looking forward to it for dinner tomorrow night. (It's already in the fridge marinating overnight for cooking tomorrow). Gotta love how the kitchen smells after whipping up the spices.
There is no gen pop in Supermax. They sit in a concrete cell for 23 hours a day. That seems like a more fitting punishment for fucking with people’s health.
I see a lot of people comparing her misdeeds to the fuckery around the 2008 financial collapse and how no one went to jail then, so why are they going after poor little Lizzy, but you hit it right on the head. She fucked with people’s health, and she and her falsetto can get fucked.
