Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, safe, non-stressed day! I'll be up at my dad's cooking dinner for him, his friend Ty and me. I should say, "finishing cook dinner" because I've been cooking for the last two days. :-) I don't get to cook fancy food or cook for other people very often, and when I do, I pull out all the stops. I made homemade jellied cranberry sauce, starting with a bag of fresh cranberries, a couple of weeks ago, because that keeps. On Tuesday I made honey-ginger sweet potatoes and little apple-blueberry tarts (kind of a long story there, but they turned out great, and I picked both the blueberries and the apples myself and put them up for the winter). Today I made green beans and pearl onions (both fresh, so I had to peel all those little onions, *sniff*) in alfredo sauce (because I happened to have the ingredients), stuffing and reduced stock for the gravy. Tomorrow, I'll make the turkey, gravy and mashed potatoes and reheat everything else (viva la microwave!). Whew! What a feast!

And just in the nick of time, too, because the cats have figured out that the turkey is in the refrigerator. Every time I open the door I have to extricate a cat to close it!

Sorry this post is a little late. Storms swept through my area and knocked my internet out this morning. But, I have good news to make up for this post's tardiness. Due to the whopping response to the THREE DAYS TO DEAD contest (184 entries in one day!), I'm kicking in another copy of the book that author Kelly Meding will sign and ship. So, there will be two winners for this contest instead of one.



Without further ado, Randomizer was consulted to find two winners and this is what it said: 26, 90 (tried to copy the graph but LJ is acting up and it kept giving me errors on the entire post, so I gave up).

Those entries turned out to be: Chanelle Loftness and Aimee Saunders. Congrats! Hope you enjoy the book as much as I did :).


To everyone else, sorry you didn't win but I leave you with the consolation prize of my favorite Thanksgiving joke:

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued...

"May I ask what the turkey did?"


Have a great holiday!
