and she's lovin him with that body, I just know it.

I'm having a totally Rick Springfield Thanksgiving, aparently. He has a blog. I love that I can pull out a record that was made the same year I was born, get totally gushy about it, and jump on the internet to read something he wrote yesterday. Swoon!

I spent last night making a pumpkin cheesecake, southern cornbread, and a hundred million parker house rolls. The oven was on from 3 to 10.
Today I'm making cornbread pepper stuffing, roasted asparagus and brussell sprouts, pertaters, and a squash something.
I love The Joy of Cooking. I pishawed Patrickt when he told me it would change my life, but -once again- he called it. A Rick Springfeild Joy of Cooking Thanksgiveranza!

This thanksgiving, I'm most thankful for:
Forgiveness.
Vitality.
The unwavering support of my family.

"The Joy Of Cooking" - You can never go wrong with a classic.

Rick Springfield can be a very confusing generational signpost, due to his continual resurgence on the cultural radar screen every 8 - 10 years or so, beginning in the early '70's when he was a "one hit wonder" and an animated cartoon character.

I actually saw Rick Springfield in concert in 82? 83? Quarterflash opened ("I'm gonna harden my hearrrrrrt").

Rick is about to reprise his role on General Hospital as Dr. Noah Drake. My sister was soooo into him. She saw a whole bunch of concerts, got autographs and kisses. I just remember him from a late eighties tv movie called Nick Knight where he played a detective investigating vampire related murders, searching for a cure for his own vampirism. It was remade with mostly new actors, no Rick, in a short run series called Forever Knight. The pilot was good, but hey, I was a kid. Besides that, there is Jesse's Girl, and I just saw him for like two seconds on The Colbert Report via Comedy Central. Apparently November was Rick Springfield month and nobody told us!
