I've got the secret to make sure your turkey (or chicken) doesn't dry out. It's been handed down from my grandmother and it works. You have to "swell" the turkey. After you stuff and truss it you put it in the sink and pour a kettle of boiling water over it. It will swell up. It will seal the pours of the skin and slightly separate it from the meat so that it creates a seal for the juices to stay in. You then pat it with butter in the creases and put a little water in the bottom of the roasting pan. I have never had a dry turkey, nor my mother, nor my grandmother. It's also really cool to watch it swell. My mom would always call to us when it was time to swell the turkey so we could watch. Such a simple joy for a child. LOL

Agree. The area around any large American city will have more than it's fair share. I had one incident devolve to the point where the rage said, and we were both standing outside our cars in a car park at the time, "I've got a gun." So, I was obliged to wait while he rummage around his pick up truck for a gun. In the event, he didn't have it or couldn't find it. So, he rummaged for some other handy deadly weapon. He thought about hauling out a large chain in the bed of the truck, but it seemed too big for him. So, he gave that up too. Finally, he returned with an empty threat and promise to do me damage later. Well, it's nearly 30 years later now and I'm nearly tired of waiting.

[@lrfcowper]

I've noticed the further north and east you go in the US, the more impatient the drivers, whereas the more south and west you go, the more polite and laid back. I will say the furthest west I've been is Oklahoma City, so I don't know about the West coast. Many years ago in OKC the hubby and I decided to walk to a restaurant that was across a 4-lane highway with a median in the middle. We figured we could make a dash to the median, then watch the traffic for a break the other way. But as we stood there on the road side watching the traffic for a break, all four lanes stopped to let us cross. It was mind-boggling. Which is to say there's no one traffic culture in the US. Some places are laid back and some will leave you in tears if you didn't get over to get to your exit 5 miles back because no one will let you in.

There a lot of Brits living here that have CVS cards. Even some that don't live that so. I have a tesco club card and don't live in England. I think whoever told them jaywalking would get them in trouble was just winding them up. But crossing a major 3 lane highway is illegal. It's not classed as jaywalking though,--- that's about city streets, where there are crosswalks designated for pedestrians. Never known anyone to get fined though--- it's really about safety cause there are lights at crosswalks for pedestrians as well as cars. Americans are more patient as drivers. My husband is a Brit he's got an unreal temper with driving. It's embarrassing how much he honks the horn--- I try to drive where ever we go to avoid such situations lol. I don't drive when we're in the UK though. I'm not pushy enough. It would take me 3 days just to get out of the airport 😂. We do have pubs in the US, gastro pubs as well.

Hmm, I agree with Audrey that a separate laundry room is normal but I've also experienced the machines in a space that is part of the kitchen,...probably due to the plumbing being in place for the sink.

[@pauliedoodle1939]

Paul D Yeah, most UK houses don’t have a separate laundry room, but more modern houses and people extending their homes do tend to include a utility room now.

[@schatzeeone6230]

Mid-twentieth-century American homes quite commonly had the washing machine in the kitchen or the bathroom, because like Paul D commented, that’s where the plumbing was. But, since most homes of that era also had eat-in kitchens, the idea of having your dirty clothes in the same room you eat in became unappealing. So, utility rooms were added, or the washer got moved to the basement.

[@ilsaruthen5478]

[@lindacollins4336]

One of the first lessons that we learn when we start school is how to line up. However, even as children we aren't very good at it. I think it's because we are such a chatty group of people. We may stay in line while the line is moving but the moment the line stops we have a tendency to group up so it's easier to talk to each other. We all know who is in front of us and who is behind us in the line so while our lines may look chaotic they really aren't. When I was growing up (many moons ago) my family always had a nice Sunday dinner. From the time I was about 10 years old one of my chores was to cook our Sunday dinner. Sometimes I'd roast a chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy or I'd make roast beef with roasted potatoes or spaghetti with meatballs. Often my Mother would take out the meat she wanted me to cook and I was allowed to make up with my own recipes. It was a great learning experience. No matter what I made my meals were expected to be served with all the trimmings. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

Ender Boy well, first you start with REAL English tea. And an electric kettle. I steep it exactly 2 min 30 sec. since I make it by the cup, I (or my husband) then add sugar and WARM cream. Not creamer. Cream. It has to be hot. Hot enough to scald your throat. That’s how I learned to make it from an English lady. If I were making a pot of tea, I’d have the cream & sugar in a cup and pour it over it.

[@housevinyl4640]

I’ve never known anyone actually arrested or cited for jaywalking. Just be careful, drivers are frequently distracted and/or speeding.

[@flakyanddelicious]

A few years ago in Phoenix, a university professor was tackled and arrested for jaywalking. It caused a lot of controversy because bystanders insisted the officer used excessive force when she tried to explain herself. He tackled her to the ground and cuffed her. And also because she was a black woman.

My mom was Italian and Sundays usually meant pasta, she made a big pot of sauce the night before and when we get home from church just cook the spaghetti (we called almost everything spaghetti whether it was penne, linguine, angel hair etc) but lasagna or any baked pasta was lasagna or whatever it was. If we didn’t have pasta it was a roast chicken with rice. If we had more family over it was most likely lasagna or some special pasta like cavatelli. Sometimes we would go to my aunt’s house n it was always a pasta dish there as well. I miss those days.

Up North (Wisconsin, Minnesota, UP of Michigan) we call those supper clubs. They are just family run places that typically have a bar area when you walk in and a dining area off in another room. Often the meals are served family style. The bar area will have the required TV sets playing, but also a jukebox, pinball machines, shuffleboard maybe, darts, pool table. Many will also have money stuck in the ceiling that is used as a fund raiser for some local group like the volunteer fire departments. Very casual and relaxed feeling about it.

Growing up, my family always had Sunday roast dinners after church, especially, during the colder months out of the year (a total of two). However, living in a very sunny climate year-round, many times our Sunday dinner would be a BBQ by our backyard swimming pool/outdoor living area, or at the firepits on the beach. Depending on the climate, your traditions can be something quite different from those who live in colder climates for the majority of the year. In Switzerland, Christmastime is always blanketed with layers of deep snow, and hot, Sunday roast dinners are so anticipated and welcomed. Whereas, in Australia, Christmastime takes place during their summer season, and the very thought of a hot kitchen is far less desirable than being outdoors barbequing in the open air. I have learned that "tradition" is whatever you make it. With that being said, I would never turn down a beautiful, delicious, Sunday roast dinner, just as long as I wasn't responsible for making it under extreme heat conditions.
