Work In Progress

Forgive the messy and non-cohesive state of the blog right now. After a nine month leave of absence I decided some housekeeping was necessary and I decided to take on the task myself rather than hirer a designer. It's a slow process, but it'll get done eventually and will look ah-mah-zing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

7:30AM on Thanksgiving morning! Is anyone else up this early with me preparing their turkey?

This is only my second time, ever, making our turkey. The first year I made it was the same year I met Stonewall. And I made that turkey the night before because we were having Thanksgiving lunch rather than dinner.


My first turkey!

Oops! Something is burning!

Okay...I'm back. My onions were burning, my turkey was leaking...it was a mess, but it's all good now. The turkey is resting comfortably in 325 degrees of bliss and butter.

This year I'm making a Maple-Roaster Turkey with Sage, Smoked Bacon, and Cornbread Stuffing. So far it smells super good. However, I'm a little worries because I think my turkey was still a little frozen. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm also in charge mashed potatoes, corn, and gravy. And for an appetizer I'm making a raspberry brie round in a pastry puff.

I haven't eaten breakfast yet and I'm making myself hungry talking about all of this food. I think I'll go get something to eat before I have to baste the turkey again.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

What I am thankful for:
