T-1 and counting

And what do we do the night before Thanksgiving?

We grumble about the sausage these days, for one thing.


It's so lean I had to add butter to cook the vegetables.  But a tablespoon of goodness later...




Tomorrow this will become stuffing

And what is Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie?



It's brown from the fresh spices

Yesterday I wrote about the different meals we have around here.  Today I want to share break-fast, what we have as soon as we get up.



That's a slice of what we like to call Lembas, with some fresh-ground nut butter, seasonal fruit (clementines in this case) and hot tea. Three to four hours later we have hot breakfast, which is timed to last my husband through work.

Onward to the work of the day -


What I wore today

A top in a lavender William Morris print and my chambray work skirt


Dinner/supper today:

Mulligatawny soup/tofu salad

 Knitting of the day:

I want to put off starting something new until I start this project on the Solstice.  So for now I'm finishing things.  Today I worked on the Grandmother Shawl, so named because it's the same color as a sweater she always wore, and ought to be as warm and soft as her hugs

Sewing of the day:

I worked on my practice quilt square and also on a stocking I'm making for our cats.



Yes, we hang stockings for our cats

Book of the day:

I haven't started one yet.  Maybe after Thanksgiving

Exercise today:

Running around my kitchen

Schoolwork today:

This will start on the Solstice

Housework today:

Washed and folded the towels, dusted the living and dining rooms, cleaned the mirror in the hall bath and made it nice for company

Words written today:
