More Catching Up...

I've been editing photos like crazy lately, can you tell? ;)

Here's some Thanksgiving pics (best. holiday. ever.)!  Chris' bff Brian came out from San Fran, and we made the most delectable spread ever.  If you are ever lucky enough to be invited for dinner, be forewarned:  we don't mess around when it comes to food!  Seriously.  Don't eat all day.  Fast.  You'll need the room.


Macy's Parade (aka "Linny meets Kermit"):

Oh, the baking that ensued.   Yes, by me.  The lard biscuits...

Hooray!  They didn't burn...

Cheddar and sage and bacon oh my...

After a few technical difficulties, the pre-baked pie...

And baked... I made a fab crust, if I do say so myself (thanks for the recipe, K!)

And a la mode, mmm...


Below is The Spread. As I said, we don't mess around.  There were 6 of us, not including Alinea, and my sis doesn't even eat meat!  Asparagus, my mom's candied yams, the bomb-diggity root vegetable gratin (courtesy of my hubby), gravy, lard biscuits, and the a Tur-duck-en!  (For the un-initiated, that's a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey).  Not pictured: my husband's currant & pistachio bread pudding w/streusal topping.  AHHHH!  So good.
