post turkey recovery~

Thanksgiving this year... was a bit more stressful than years past... because of the whole cooking factor... but I think it turned out ok... nobody got sick (I don't think)... and for the most part the stuff tasted ok~ (I over brined the turkey legs~)Here is a picture of most of the spread (we added a few things to the table after the photo) but you get the gist of it...

I totally did not work on Desserts at all... leave it to my family to bring more than enough (we have like 3 pies in the fridge still)... but here was the cutest addition...

the Turkey Cake brought by my aunt... its Carvel...with the yummy crunchies in the middle- yay!
In preparation for the massive amounts of cooking leading up to Thanksgiving... my mother thought it would be fun to have guests over the Sunday before... and here is a photo of that dinner


All this cooking hasn't left much time for knitting- Yesterday was the 1st line I knit in about a week! (beginning to worry about Christmas Gifts)... but that doesn't mean there wasn't time to shop...
Wollmeise (again- yes I have been getting lucky these past 2 updates)

its cold~

Thanksgiving is around the corner... and normally this would mean going to the Wine Library to pick out wine~ and looking forward to eating~ but this year... my mother insists we cook Thanksgiving at home... Instead of having it catered like we normally do~ Seeing as how my older sister...offered to help me cook... but then bailed to say she was going to eat at her mother-in-laws house... and my younger sister doesn't cook~ and my mom will be working full time leading up to Thanksgiving Day... that leaves me~ perhaps I should give my doctor buddies a heads up~ (just in case the dinner ends up not sitting well?)
On the knitting front... I haven't done much~ been busy studying for finals... and such~ Tho I have completed my 1st 2 real de-stashes this past week~ (meaning I sold off 2 skeins of yarn from my stash~)... I was feeling quite brave~

Congrats to Jasmine and Jin Young Oppa~ (they got married last weekend)...
