I have not posted anything of substance lately, I know.

Substance? HA! Like dirty monkey sex stories? pft. you’ve NEVER had anything with substance here.

leftover inspirations ***now with updated picture goodness***

I’m kicking around some ideas in my head for creative use of leftovers.

Last night I made stock out of the turkey bones, and I have to say, this might be the tastiest stock I’ve ever made. I let it bubble on the stove all night (because I enjoy the dangerous thrill of potentially [...]

live blogging thanksgiving

I’ll try to update between kitchen duty.

noonish: So how is “the plan” working? Well, last night I got the pie done, as well as the cranberry sauce (I’m sorry…”COMPOTE”), and the stuffing. I didn’t get the spinach gratin done, but that doesn’t take too long and I’m working on that right now.

2. this morning, I got to chat online with Brenda Dayne (along with other people). For those of you who don’t know who I’m talking about, [...]

like a mosaic of horror

Oh god…make it stop.

You know that magical stomach bug that teases you by making you hungry, yet WHATEVER you eat just kicks right back up on you?

That’s what I have.

Kev is concerned it’s the flu. I doubt it. I have some body aches and chills, but no fever. Plus I am [...]
