Yeah this is not a pudding. This is on your plate with your turkey, your gravy, and your green bean casserole. Unlike green bean casserole it is actually edible.

They've included the chilling time in that. It's not quite the right recipe I've had, as they'd do real cranberries and I'm not sure there's cream cheese in it. It's clearly a bit classy because there's whipped cream and not Cool Whip.

Thankfully my mid-western family don't seem to do the mayo with sweet things. I think Wisconsin is a bit more sensible than some others.

Jello salad is a whole different dish.

Gnnnnh. He's getting my heritage wrong. It's not in jello. It's a fluff salad. In whipped cream. Yes you eat it with your turkey. www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking...

It really didn't work for me and the kids were pretty unimpressed. They did keep watching and the youngest found the fight scenes hilarious. But the eldest's verdict at the end was "well that was a film that existed".

My mum grew up in the US and had massive culture shock when she went to my dad's family in Inverness in the early 70s. She's from a blue collar, small Mid West town family but had no idea that it was possible to not have central heating.

My cat appears to catch mice outside and then release them, alive, in my house. I've tried to explain the error of this to him but he's 4 so I guess he's got 6 years to learn.

It was taken off the list for Year 10, which is 14-15 year olds, not 10 year olds.

You definitely need the right buy in to make it worthwhile so being cynical is understandable. But I think done properly there's a value to it that just having books around school doesn't have.

The library at my kids' primary school was very needed. They used it for literacy lessons, it gave kids to a wider range of books than the classroom corner could. Y6 kids got to help run it, giving a real boost to confidence. And it was a quiet place to spend lunchtimes for those who needed it.

We are old.

Leaning in is fun! Are you even a parent if you don't horrifically embarrass your child?

I really hope my kids and their friends find me a bit cringe. It's the appropriate reaction to parents. Although I will protest if I get called a Millennial, because I'm just Gen X.
