the feast &

we missed you, ingrid!

1.  ingrid feasted in d.c., made grandma wendy's rolls.

2.  first thanksgiving in four years with eva.

rutabagas with roasted ginger pears.  confession:  i used 1 c. cream rather than the measly 1/3 c. called for.

3.  every year i try a new vegetable side.  this year it was smashed rutabagas with roasted ginger pears, and i'm pleased to announce that, for the first time in years, a new fantastic dish made it into the thanksgiving cannon and will be repeated.

nora & rose made this.

4.  the twins made marshmallow fluff.

crescents & cloverleafs

5.  eva i made grandma wendy's rolls in utah, too.  they weren't as good as hers.  they never are.

6.  bammy hosted, so it was an easy day for me.

the kids table gets smaller each year.

7.  we tried to see pitch perfect, but it was sold out.

8.  i missed my family in boise, arizona, sydney, and seattle.

caramelized apple & currant bread pudding.  i was gonna do chocolate, but thankfully lula talked me out of it.

9.  the lights are up on candy cane lane!

10.  don't you think black friday is one of the most depressing things in the world?
