Sadly, the weekend site issues stomped on Web Dom’s free time to create a post, so I’m offering my vegan pumpkin dessert in her honor.
(The Thanksgiving recipes will be back online sometime this evening.)
SP’s Vegan Pumpkin Chia Pudding
Even Web Dom can have a seasonal Thanksgiving dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/4 c chia seeds
- 1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp sugar or 10-15 drops liquid stevia, or to taste
- 1/4 c pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or equivalent components
- pinch salt
- 2 tbsp pecans toasted and chopped
Instructions
- Combine chia seeds with almond milk in a medium bowl. Set aside for one hour.
- Add vanilla extract, sweetener of choice, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the bowl with chia seeds and almond milk.
- Process with an immersion blender until smooth. Adjust sweetener to taste.
- Pour into a dessert dish and top with pecans.
Notes
We prefer less-sweet foods, so you may want to adjust the sweetness to your preference.
What do families in W. Va. do for Halloween?
Pump-kin!
And now just hit that 3-day week sweet mother-fkin THEME MUSIC !
3-day week? Haha. What a loser. 2-day weeks are what all the cool kids are working!
Hey! I resemble that work week this week!
Do the chia seeds sprout in your stomach and look like a green haired Obama?
No, but if you let your turds mellow for a day or two, they will.
Ah. Needs fertilizer.
You say that like not everyone does it.
Ch-ch-ch-chia pudding!
The pudding that grows!

I like Steve’s review of NATTO .
“The most disturbing aspect of this stuff is it seems to get “activated” when you stir it. What I mean by this is, (and I may actually weep, but…) the slimy coating on the beans develops into stringy, stretchy, marshmallow-like strands that will forever haunt my dreams.”
I usually get that shit all wrapped around my head and wind up calling out for Ripley to pry me loose.
“…because the strings of bean jizz melted, coating my mouth and lips with a glistening sheen of sadness.”
That guy has a way with words.
During the transfer portion of one of my wife’s IVF procedures, while waiting outside the operating room, I heard raucous laughter. Apparently, under sedation, my wife said “Be gentle with me, Ripley.”

And you’ve just turned me off to flan and creme brulee. Congratulations.
Oh my God.

Thanks. Saw your post earlier and gave me a good chuckle. I have this map on my office wall.
No mention of Hawaii? It is probably because they regard it as an unruly colony.
Why is he finger banging the creme brûlée?
You should see what he did to the peach cobbler.
Eating out the kiwi is enough.
That’s what Lorde said.
I fear you’ve lit the HM signal with that one.
Wow. That guy loves him some pudding.
That will clean you out:)
I love chia.
My primary recovery food is 1/3 cup steel cut oats, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons chia, 2 tablespoons hemp seeds, 1/2 tablespoon Udo’s 3-6-9-blend and enough soy milk to fill my bowl to about a quarter inch from the top (I’ve never measured it, but that’s probably about a cup of soy milk).
I’ll add 3 tablespoons of chia to a 20 oz. handheld if I’m doing some LSD (long slow distance) and want a slow burning fuel with a bunch of amino acids. I may be fooling myself, but I think it helps me recover quicker.
If it works, who cares?
I use chia seeds in smoothies and I am positive it keeps tigers away.
Well, I think some things I do work for me, since I seem to recover quickly. Exactly which practices work, which are placebos and which are detrimental is hard to tease out.
Tigers? It’s cougars I have to watch out for.
Braggart.
Sounds great, SP! Have you ever made it with coconut milk?
That would work fine. I just always have almond milk on hand and open.
If I went with coconut milk, I’d also then make some coconut milk whipped cream for it.
Grazie!

Could you please edit mine to include that the neck and tail openings need to been sewn shut? Sorry, I left that out.
It’s an important point, so that you can heat the bird way past “done” if you need to cook the stuffing, and still have the meat juicy.
I’m not sure if these euphemisms are getting more abstract or literal at this point.
I think we need Creosote Achilles to weigh in on this one.
Will do.
Sounds like it needs whip cream.

With the chia, you don’t need heat, as opposed to a regular cooked pudding where the egg yolks are what thicken it as it cooks and then cools.

Hi.
Me too, just a bit anyways.
I’m just about to crack a Cowboy Bernie while I wait for mashed potatoes to cool down. Drink fresh is right, bottled on 11/12/18. Drinking it just for all the IPA lovers here…
Is this one of those IPA’s you recommend for us IPA haters?
Negative. This is an unbalanced beast of a double IPA. The pineapple and tropical fruit (predominantly mango) are there in the flavor, but the bitter finish is long and lingering, drying out your mouth with notes of pith. For the IPA haters, it’ll really depend on why you dislike the IPA’s. Some people don’t like the bitter finish, other’s don’t like tropical fruit/grassy/earthy/citrus/pine notes (all from the hops), other people don’t like the caramel notes that are common. I’d recommend different beers for each of the different dislikes.
Notes of pith, bitter finish…we talking beer or a POW camp? I have tasted nothing in an IPA that you mention there other than bitter.
…and grassy. You must have tasted the grassy.
So, not a fan of the big bitter finish? Look for beers labeled as English IPA’s. They’ll be much more subdued in their bitterness, and will be much more malt forward with caramel and toffee notes. Or look towards the new hotness: New England IPA’s. These are made with very little bittering hops, but a large amount of flavor and aroma hops. They will generally have lots of big tropical fruit notes and citrus notes, with a sweeter beer, and little bitterness.
Pith would be the very bitter white part of citrus peels. The most common American hops used are known for Citrus and Pine notes, while the newer experimental ones go more to the tropical fruit. And beer that’s been dry hopped too long can pick up grassy notes from the hops, and I’m not even getting into the negative terms for beers that are hopped too heavily with Simcoe.
The New England and “Hazy” IPS’s I’ve had have been pretty decent. Worth a try for people who don’t care for most IPA offerings.
Gutten Abend!
History Of Corruption in Broward County and Election Fraud
The talking cat avatar weirds me out. But it is less creepy than Rick Scott’s face, which in turn is less creepy than the Frankenstein creature that is Bill Nelson. Anyway, it appears that Broward elections have been totally fucked for quite some time.
I’m too lazy to find the quote from her, but the recently fired director of elections was just shocked at why Broward County had the spotlight on them. She just thought it was just so unfair.
Broward county makes Cook county look clean.

I read that this morning and have wrote four replies and deleted every one of them. What is the point in interacting with that? I was hoping for one of the Sunrise Movement people to engage a discussion. I assume they at least know from where “The Ministry of Truth” is referenced.
“D00d, 1984 was like way before I was born and stuff.”

My response would be:

That Party is refreshingly more honest than any of ours.
I believe you did it correctly, bravo fellow Party member.
PS. I’m afraid to ask WTF “Sunrise Movement” is supposed to be.
Sub in “Morning constitutional”.
I am honestly not sure, I saw that as it was retweeted from the newest congressional genius from the Bronx. I read the bill they posted there and it is a bit of a reach, so I looked more into it. Seems the Greens started this nonsense from what I can tell, this is the plan but the bill just lays the framework for this restructuring. It will never go anywhere because the old Dems won’t let it. They know the ratchet of small gains and the courts are the best way to achieve their goals a full out bat shit crazy step is DOA.
Oh please please please let every Dem sign on to this.
Well, the new green propaganda even cuts out hydro-electric. And rich Dems hate windmills where they can see them, so this is all going to be solar, Solyndra 2.0 baby!

“EMU group ends ‘The Vagina Monologues,’ citing exclusion of some women
YPSILANTI, MI – Eastern Michigan University’s Women’s Resource Center will no longer host productions of “The Vagina Monologues,” noting that the play’s version of feminism excludes some women.
The WRC announced its decision in an email, which came after the center evaluated responses from a survey. Survey respondents opposing the production consistently indicated they were concerned that the play centers on cisgender women, that the play’s version of feminism excludes some women, including trans women, and that overall, “The Vagina Monologue” lacks diversity and inclusion.”

DESTROYSrefutes Alexandria Ocasio CortezHe loses points for wearing a tie with a button-down collar, but gains points for managing to not stutter or drool when faced with the heat that anchor’s packin’. I think I would’ve gone catatonic at around 3:00 when she starts doing the “tracts of land” hand gestures.
My middle son told me that he want to go to Cal, UCLA, or The Rams for college.
So, maybe no college.
I’d point him towards Stanford.
That’s just disgusting. I would never do that.
No, I was thinking he could class the place up a bit.
Anything is possible. But not that.
The Jr University?
Middle children are always the dumbest. Give him a shovel.
Meh, my wife grew up in east Texas and didn’t realize there were other professional football teams besides the Cowboys until she was like 10.
Did she ever think the Cowboys were a university?
No, but she just assumed that the National Football League involved finding teams to play the Dallas Cowboys, kind of like some weird football version of professional wrestling, and that after the Cowboys played the other games were just like scrimmages between other teams waiting to play the Cowboys, so it would be safe to say she considered them much, much more than just a university.
That’s “America’s Team” to you.
“America’s Most Wanted” would be more apt.
What do you do about this,

Please Bob……..don’t give Stefan anymore vodka…..you’re not helping us…… I’ve been racking my brain, trying to make things work, but you keep on feeding him. You have been a good friend to us…..right now…. I need you to understand more than ever….”…,
I haven’t spoke to this man for three montbs ,wtf?
Was that an email, or text, you received?
Text
That’s messed up. All joking aside, you need to tell her you haven’t talked to him in three months and then think seriously about cutting off contact.
“Good luck with your life. Bye! Love, Bob.”
I’m torn, he isn’t a good friend, but I want my integrity, I haven’t even seen him for months…
That said, I,m out it
This is the best possible advice. Pop smoke. It’s never a good idea to engage with optional drama.
I’d do as she asks. Stefan seems dangerous. Likely doesn’t need any more vodka. Don’t keep feeding Stefan vodka, Bob, ffs.
Ill have his vodka. See my flu-fighting recipe for the Cosby-tini® from the morning lynx.
“Stefan owes me $300 for vodka, if you want to clear his tab I would appreciate it. I havn’t given him any in months.”

Somebody in my extended family puts on a traditional Tryptophan Day dinner every year (we take turns), so I’ll not be submitting any recipes because they aren’t special. My cousin’s doing it this year.
My XX tax deduction said we needed to take a lot of Tupperware for leftovers and I’m like, “There won’t be any. Tell you what. I’ll make a faux Tday dinner Friday.”
“Faux?”
“Frozen turkey roast, box spuds, box stuffing, jar gravy, green beans, Hawaiian rolls, and jellied cranberry sauce.”
/total foodie
Turkey pot roast is one of the best ways to honor the bird.
Slow cooked dark meat.
My bad. Turkey LOAF.
I’m 2.5 months out from rotator cuff surgery. I’m recovering well, but I’m not up to dealing with a real bird.
They had me @ ‘festive’
I’m not a big fan of loaves.
Im sure the Jenni-O corp can pinch one out for you tho’
^ This chick knows how to cook Thanksgiving Day dinner! ^
Sometimes around here I wonder if I am the only one who eats like what you just described.
I’m sure we all have guilty food pleasures and short cuts or convenience items we use.
Tonight we had lemon lentil soup I had frozen when I made a big stock pot of it previously.
We eat like this most of the time. I absolutely hate cooking.
Same here. My wife and I don’t hate cooking so much as we are lazy cooks. We know what we like (most of it very simple) and we keep cooking it in rotation. Boring? Yes. Satisfying? Yes.
I enjoy my brother-in-law and sister telling their kids to eat up at my place because, “It’s where the good food is, the next place [the BIL’s parents] won’t be this good.”
I’m currently making bacon cheddar mashed potato croquettes, and realized I may have made too many for Thursday. That’s what freezers are for, right?
I’m sorry, you lost me at “too many.”
I’ve got two large plastic containers (~50 or so croquettes) for ~12 people. And I’m still planning on doing traditional mashed potatoes.
Well, you clearly don’t need the croquettes at all, then. Freeze them.
Then expect my email with my shipping address. You know what to do after that.
Self pleasure? That seems like the right answer, but I’m not good at social cues.
I can cook. I just hate doing it.
I enjoy it, part of it may be that neither of my parents could really cook growing up. Due to this, both me and my sister learned to cook. Now, we’ve taken over the family gatherings so that there’s good food at them, and we can scale up new recipes we’ve tried.
That’s my story. I didn’t eat raw fish until my honeymoon.
*squints suspiciously*
+1 turkey in Hawaiian rolls dipped in gravy. Turkey roll and jarred gravy are just fine if Hawaiian rolls are involved.
I’m about 7 miles from the King’s factory. They have a breakfast spot on site, and it’s exactly what you’d expect.
Hawaiian rolls make everything better.
Wait…. which ones?
Either?
The original sweet dinner rolls.
I was just discussing with a friend the virtues of StoveTop stuffing, and reminiscing over when, as a much younger long-distance runner, Id eat an entire box as an appetizer.
/puts duct tape over scale display
Now, I got the brand name stuff. No off-brands for my faux Black Friday Tday dinner.
I will also make oumpkin pies, but I do that weekly in the fall anyway.
Many a happy afternoon after elementary school was spent at my grandmother’s house eating Stove Top straight out of the cylindrical container while I waited for the microwave, where the water and margarine bubbled away for the main stuffing event.
I’m not sure if I hate this football game or the half time show ESPN and the Rams subjected us to more.
Our country is fucked. Vegan pudding and this is what qualifies as exciting football. Just surrender to the Chicoms now.

No kidding. Two 9-1 teams and I’m bored.
The halftime show was bad. Very bad.
The lip synch was off by at least a 1 count, and the dude wasn’t even playing chords on his “guitar”.
They’re trying to raise money for fire victims, and….. dragging bait through the millennial crowd isn’t going to do it.
I’m willing to buy some of this if it gets released near me. I’ll need to check if Fat Head’s is participating at some poitn.
Interesting. I wonder what the turn around is on something like that.
Considering it’s an ale, home brew scale you could probably get it done in 10-14 days. Professional scale, probably 5-10 days.
I took the over on the total, so I’m pretty happy right now.
I keep my gambling separate from my respect for the game.
As we close in on a 100+ point game, I confess I’m mostly splitting my time between folding laundry and playing Assassin’s Creed. This is approaching college basketball scores.

An eloquent commentary on the American obsession with recipes.
Look at all these bourgeoisie taunting their ESPN subscription privilege in this thread. It’s disgusting! NFL football belongs to the fans, not the corporations!
Gave up on the NFL years ago but recently tried getting back into it. No way. I prefer a good snooker match any day.
I still like the NFL, but putting MNF on a dying cable channel was a bad move. Dropped ESPN because there was nothing there I wanted to watch except the occasional MNF game. Same with why I was ok getting rid of NFL Network. It’s not that I care less about the sport, but the other shows have turned into complete garbage, bringing in politics and fantasy and ignoring people who actually like the sport.
I used to watch about 3hrs a day of NFL Network, then they started pandering to non-fans. It’s like when McDonald’s gets rid of a sandwhich that people actually buy and replaces it with a salad that no one every does to try and get customers that wouldn’t eat at McDonald’s even if it were all free non-GMO Vegan.
I totally agree.
We dumped cable but do subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket over Roku. They don’t play all games but most of the ones they don’t are played on Fubo (also on Roku). EXCEPT Monday night football.
So when we have no way to watch, we “gather round the set” and listen to an audio app called Pro Radio. Looks like a white football helmet emanating red radio signals with a green turf background. Costs a few bucks ONCE and you can listen to any NFL game live from the home radio station of your choice. We love it. It’s been around at least 5 years and not failed us yet.
Highly recommend.
I get paid to listen to NFL games, not doing it for free.
The game was on ABC.
Always be closing.
MNF games are broadcast on affiliate over the air station in the viewing area, not nation wide.
Huh, you’re right. I only ever remember it being on ABC, like, my entire life. But I don’t watch football. Also, there was hockey.
It was on ABC until the mid ots, then moved to ESPN. The ESPN broadcast is shown on local ABC stations in the markets for those teams. ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney. I’ve talked before about the delay between terrestrial radio and TV broadcasts, and working this last Packer game, holy hell. It was Thursday Night Football, which is NFL Network, but now FOX has broadcast rights in the latter half of the season (in the early half it was CBS). There was almost a 30 second delay between the local terrestrial radio broadcast and the FOX coverage. If only I were a betting man.
I guess your antenna isn’t big enough.
It’s not the distance, it’s the terrain…Oh, you weren’t euphamizing?

38. Saving the best for last.
Cyto posted a great rant over the weekend. The comments and posts from the weekend disappeared though. It deserves to be reposted.
Got et by the squirrels, not even the SMITH family are brave enough to take them on.
I’m curious if the talk of squirrels and website/comment malfunctions is specific to Glibs/Reason, or if it a common IT phrase. Is there an origin story?
I never heard it outside TOS, was long used before I got there. Not in tech so don’t know anything else.
Of course, I played The Whitcher after I learned the term at TOS, so that was funny.
Lost in the mists of time…?
Well, what I do remember is that the Reason website is very poorly written and subject to constant breakdowns – especially at specific times like 3PM. Making us wonder how it was being powered.
As long as I have been in tech or electronics we called them squirrels, gremlins, rats, etc.
Wife just got home. Kids sang an aggressive rendition of “Mocking Bird”, Dumb and Dumber style to her. Not a good start.
Dun, done. I would have been surprised if KC won in this environment.
I’m out. Need to drop off the Big Dog at the vet at 0700 tomorrow.
New episode written and recorded. Of course, you’d know this already if you followed me on twitter.
I have no social media accounts, but it is tempting to sign up for Twitter. It’d be an anonymous account. There are enough people I’d like to follow that it would be easier to create an account than to manually search different accounts.
It used to be anonymous, this is my third twitter account, they flagged me this time for ‘bot like behavior’ before I tweeted (what?) and had to verify through giving them my phone number. So they know who am this time around, so a little less anonymous, but I thought CPRM was doing things my other accounts hadn’t, so I gave in.
It’s a trap! Stay far away from social media.
You’re welcome.
I only do Twitter to promote the cartoon and have fun back and forths with Andrew Heaton.

https://glibertarians.com/2017/12/end-of-the-road-truckers-are-soon-to-be-replaced-by-robots-but-the-state-has-already-been-roboticizing-the-driver/
I mean, I’ve heard of Thaddeus Russell, but I don’t know what, why, when, where or how. Fake news.
I probably first saw him on Stossel years ago.
That’s probably where I heard of him as well then, following Stossel for the last 20 years. But other that, no idea why I should care. I’m not trying to diminish anything you think he’s said that is noteworthy, just someone I’ve never cared about.
It would be interesting to have an article the compares religion to government. In the past, it was taboo to be an atheist. You were mocked and thought to be an idiot if you didn’t believe in God. Now it seems that people are appalled if you tell them that you don’t believe in government. They’d think you’re an idiot and naive to believe that society can exist and function without a government. It seems many think the government is a benevolent, omnipotent being that can do no wrong and solve problems that only the government could solve.
Well, as a minarchist, I do think a government, highly restrained, is necessary. The whole ‘if men were angels thing’. But yes, too many people look at you like you have a third eye if express doubt that more government can solve all problems, even if they know you are smarter than them, it sounds like blasphemy.
What’s weird to me is that there are so many perfectly rational explanations of how certain things could work just fine without government, yet people look at you like you have three heads if you propose eliminating the government’s role.
A great example is postal service. Thanks to the Internet, there’s less need than ever for physical letters to go through the mail. I’m sure UPS, Fed-Ex, DHL, or one of the countless other delivery services would be glad to pick up the slack.
Yet, most people would think you’re insane if you said we should abolish the USPS. You can explain that to them and they won’t really have any objection except “that’s crazy” or something similar.
You ever hear the (undoubtedly false) anecdotes about how the Indians couldn’t see Columbus’s ships when they arrived because their minds weren’t capable of understanding the concept of a gigantic ship that crosses oceans? It’s kind of like that with average people and eliminating government agencies. They have just never conceived of such a thing, so when they’re faced with it, their immediate reaction is to reject it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. Audio recorded for the next episode, animation tomorrow before I go in to work. Time for some precious sleep, my nightly 3hrs.
Course 5 minutes to Wapner.
