Planning Your T-Day Menu

Happy Friday!

Alright, let's get down to business.  I've been so discombobulated with our move that it feels completely wrong that Thanksgiving is in less than a week.  Like, really?  How on earth?  Compounding that is the fact that I'm not hosting dinner this year (a blessing in disguise considering that our house is still a chaotic mess), so I'm not even thinking about turkey right now.  It's all so very confusing to my addled little brain.

So, I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I've put together a list of all of my Thanksgiving recipes with a handy dandy little tab up top.  Did you look up there and see it?  Once you click on it, you'll see all the pretty pictures and links to all the recipes I make for my dinner every year.  Just wanted to let you know it was there in case it might help you with trying to hunt down ingredient lists for this and that.

Sweet Potato Pie

Everyone!  Meet my dear friend, Mischa!  (that's "mi-sha", not "mee-sha" like that one actress)  A few years ago, she introduced me to Sweet Potato Pie*, and I loved it.  It's similar to Pumpkin Pie, but it's different enough to please those not fond of pumpkin or the rest of us who are a little pumpkined out by now.

A Sandy Sunrise

Good Morning!

We just got back from a wedding in Florida (always with the weddings in Florida), and I wanted to share these with you.  I snapped these with my phone at sunrise Sunday morning, after Hurricane Sandy had pelted the Florida coast with crazy rain and strong winds.  The waves were higher on Sunday morning, but much more peaceful.  It was a gorgeous morning, and such a calming way to start this crazy week of mine.

Halloween Idea: Ghoulish Banana Pops

You guys.  I just realized that we're moving next week.  Next week!  Pardon me while I run up and down our street, screaming my head off and waving my arms in frantic circles.

Yowza.
