Briefly

[quislibet]

Managed to snag a bit of online-ness after all.

Culinary highlights:
- They did the turkey on the grill, making it far less insipid than usual. (Turkey is boring.)
- Apple, blueberry, cherry, mincemeat, pecan, pumpkin, and rhubarb pies.

Unfortunate thing:
- Extensive plaster dust in the air from the renovated room upstairs.

Also, I fear that at some point I will be called upon to help stack two cords of wood.

Tonight I make my annual "Yankee Harvest Moussaka" from leftovers (squash instead of eggplant, finely chopped turkey instead of lamb or beef, cornbread crumbs on top of the bechamel). I stay out of the small kitchen during Thanksgiving day itself, and then make my contribution in saner times.

Most turkey is boring. A kosher bird roasted in a oven-bag, with a celery & paprika stuffing, isn't.

Nor, for that matter, is a turkey chili with tepary beans and chipolte chiles. But that was last weekend.
