Thanksigiving

Three dinners later, it went from a warm 70° to a cool 50°.

We made:
-Spinach dip w/ French bread
-Whole wheat stuffing
-Pumpkin pie from starch (sans crust which was from a mix)

Then we made another Pumpkin pie, and scalloped potatoes.

After the second pumpkin pie I caught a nasty cold, knocked out with a fever and the shivers- condemned to spend the holiday weekend in a deep slumber of strange dreams.

So Timon went to our black tie thanksgiving sans me, in his tux with glasses! Hopefully photos will soon surface of that night's festivities.

At our third dinner, a potluck, the salad people dropped out and there were about 6-8 potato dishes, I kid you not. People lovin their potatoes! One of the most amazing ones was the sweet potato dish with a crunchy sweet coffee cake topping! Candied pecans? YES! Awesome. Awesome like the brie + apricot preserves toasted in pastry appetizer...m,, rich smooth sweet.

We survived. I about coughed my back out. And inadvertently knocked over a BAG OF EGGS. Onto the Floor. And rescued them! So we have a jar of 10 eggs- with mostly intact yolks. Quiche on the menu soon!
