A long absence; much catching up to do. So first things first, I suppose: Thanksgiving!
We woke up late, had Bailey's in our coffee, and watched a murder mystery in pajamas. Then we went on a nice jog to make up for the inevitable later beer consumption -- a beautiful, sunny day, almost 50°!
Most of the cooking I had done in advance, so there was just stuffing and cooking the chicken and charring the brussels sprouts left to do. The cast of edible characters:
Roast chicken stuffed with citrus fruits Homemade applesauce Edible brussels sprouts Brie baked with cranberry chutney Whole wheat sesame crackers Yam souffle Stuffing out of the box (hey, you make applesauce, you get to have boxed stuffing)
At 3, Heidi came over from next door and we sat down to chow down and watch completely frivolous movies. And of course eventually dessert too.
Apple pie Chocolate torte with caramel lime sauce
Very relaxed. Very low-key. Very delicious. Very much not writing a grant or packing moving boxes or proofreading text books. Lovely.
