(No Thanks)giving

Click HERE to read Jonboi's Thanksgiving Recap. 

So yesterday was Thanksgiving Day in the US. The official start of the "Holiday Season" here, and boy are my arms tired. No wait. Wrong line. Sorry. 

WTF?  Is it possible to unlaughmyasson?  Something is not quite right with this guy . . .

. . . my family, . . . all gathering to eat {turkey} . . . and my bread.  Yep, you read it right, my bread. 

Yayers!  I can read! 

I baked two loaves of bred for thanksgiving. 

Oh squick!  Apparently, someone can't use spell check.  (*bleaches brain*)

Everyone loved the bread and ate all of it. . . .Its a nice heavy, sweet bread, but not soo sweet that it tastes like a pastery. 

Did he eat pastery in kindergarten?  That explains a lot.

Yes, I'm talking about cooking . . .

Really?  Because bread involves baking . . .

I do most of the cooking in the house. I enjoy it, and I'm actually pretty good at it. 

Sure you are, Nathaniel.  Do you wear your pearls to cook your bred?  (*bleaches brain*)

Laurell would say that its "just one of the many things I do well."

Blergh.  TMI fanboy.  TMI.

Anyway, Here's to everyone in the US: Hope you have a enjoyable Thanksgiving. Everyone else: Here's to a pleasant weekend. 

Anyway, here's to everyone in lkh_lashouts.  I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving.  Please remember that you (yes, you!) can also write novels with no understanding of grammar or spelling or plots or modesty.  Or, in the alternative, you can become an author by proxy by eating a lot of paste-ry and fanboying.

Quite frankly, I would've been more surprised if he said he DIDn'T do the baking. The way LKH talks about writing, it's such a chore. How could she possibly have time all those things we lowly readers do, like bake?

Sometimes I wonder if it's actually Jon who was the horrible blogger, and Laurell got infected, because... yikes. Like dwg, I can see being proud (I don't bake a lot, so when something works, I go yatta. I admit it.), but it's maybe two or three lines of my blog post, NOT THE ENTIRE CRUX OF IT.

If it weren't LKH-related, I might find the pride kind of cute. However, as you wrote, the lack of self-awareness is pitiful. Plus, I think we're supposed to learn a lesson about feminism and LKH feminism is stupid smug.

It is sort of what's expected -- after all, baking is traditionally a WOMAN'S chore, and we know that the Goddezz of Misogynistic Feminism does not do that kind of thing. And since she based Nathaniel on Jonboi, and Nathaniel is proud and happy to be a "50s housewife"...

I suspect this is a lesson to us -- right after LKH announces that she is the "guy," we have Jonboi smugly acting as if a guy baking is on par with early suffragettes' actions.
