Snowing

A lot has happened since my first official weblog entry; some of the big-eating holidays, working 25 days in a row, the first snow-fall, my five year high school reunion, and other random acts.
First thing’s first: Thanksgiving.

It was good I suppose. Ma was sick so it was a father-daughters Thanksgiving. We made our homemade family pierogies (stuffed with Farmers Cheese, of course, we wouldn't have it any other way), stuffing, mashed taters, and (GASP!) a roasted Turkey breast!! My sister and I have both been vegetarians for many years, so this was our first Turkey filled Thanksgiving since middle school. Dad took over and made some miso gravy, cranberry chutney, spiced purple cabbage, and a pumpkin chiffon pie. As a three-man team with Sis and Dad we made THE chocolate mousse. This chocolate mousse has been requested for birthdays, holidays, special occasions, and even DEMANDED during very extreme chocolate cravings over the years. It's usually hand crafted by Mom, but since she was very sick, the three of us took over. It ended up all right, a little thicker than usual but delicious nonetheless. It was all delicious

Second thing’s Second: The day after Thanksgiving.

Fat, full, and frighteningly famished I reached to the fridge to make a leftover turkey sandwhich and realized I had a commitment for tonight. My 5 year High School Reunion. All I've learned from the reunion is that the music needs to be louder, the lights dimmer, and a larger spot to dance. I got real sick of relaying the same story over and over again, so less talk, more dance.

Or maybe I was drunk and wanted to dance.

Who knows.

And yes, that is an ice cold BL being drank as we craft these ancient Slavic dumplings.
