My backup software was kind enough to remind me I’d forgotten to re-enable it on my PC whose system disk I had to replace last week. That’s fixed now, and the laptop is backing itself up now too, even though I don’t keep anything important on here.

Cake, or cookie? How about a little of each?

We gathered for Kris’s birthday today.  We had a lot of good food and a lot of good wine.

It was cold out today, but toasty warm by the brew kettle. (That’s hops in the bowl, not popcorn.)

Happy Thanksgivukhah!

My organization system for the Big Day tomorrow is decidedly low-tech.  I will have the laptop to re-look-up a recipe if needed, but these crib sheets should be all I need — and they’re a visual indication of each dish so we don’t forget anything.

Making sure I’ve got all my recipes — and more importantly, all the ingredients — lined up for Thursday.

I made cultured butter this evening, from heavy cream I added some starter (crème fraîche) to yesterday. The yield from this local dairy’s Jersey cream is impressive.

Here I’m frying up some chicken livers for chopped liver, because that’s a traditional Thanksgiving food, at least in this house.
