Smoke Signal Twenty [accidental audio]

[charring]

[There is the sound of paper rustling and a faint scratching sound, possibly pen on the aforementioned paper. And Charlie's muttering to herself.]

Okay...okay, so...[pause] No clue what I'm doing. Shoulda paid better attention to Norma when she cooked thanksgiving dinner.

[There is a thump, pages being turned and more of that scratching-on-paper sound.]

...don't even like the holidays that much. And this shopping list is getting ridiculously long.

...damn.

[Sam smiles.]

That's a good reason. This'll be my first Thanksgiving... with my family, really.

[audio]

[charring]

Really? [Oh. That raises about a billion questions.] I take it things are a bit different back home, then? I mean, if so then it's fabulous they're here.

[Charlie stop being awkward.]

[And Sam regrets a little letting that out.]

Yeah, a bit. I've got a lot to be thankful for this year, I guess.

[If it helps, she feels like the biggest bitch for asking.]

Favorite thing to eat for Thanksgiving?

[She really does need a subject change.]

[iwatchtjhooker]

Oh, man. Stuffing, I guess. Sometimes Dean would cook Stove Top for us.

[audio]

[charring]

Stove Top is, quite possibly, the best stuffing ever.

[audio]

[iwatchtjhooker]

And it's really easy, so that's a plus.

So what are you making?

[audio]

[charring]

I think at this point, the question is what aren't I making? I have a turkey. Wouldn't be thanksgiving without it, baked macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole. I might try my hand at making cranberry sauce but that sounds daunting. And desserts. I have people bringing stuff, too.

Yikes. I don't think I'm doing this again. Ever.

[iwatchtjhooker]

That sounds really good. Are you gonna have enough time?

Oh. I'm keeping you.

[audio]

[charring]

No, you're not. I can multi-task. And I have people helping. [It almost sounds like that's really weird of her to say.]

[audio]

[iwatchtjhooker]

That sounds really nice.
