My brand-new birthday-present cloth napkins have been baptized in homemade cranberry sauce. Also, the children have covered me with reward stickers, although my husband did most of the cooking.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I downloaded Alice's Restaurant and brought it to my sister's house, cause my nieces had never heard it. Turns out my B-i-L has the original album, in vinyl! So cute. And I don't think I'd listened to the entire thing since about 1982. So that was fun.
I'm pretty much in an L-tryptophan coma, camped out in front of Into the Woods on the dvd player. Holidays make me in the mood for musicals.
I'm still full.
Gronk.
Cook's Illustrated brought down the house. The turkey and the sweet potato thing were both excellent.
As a result, I ate way too much.
Watched Gift of the Wheelman while we waited for the turkey, hung out with family, marvelled at how much of a cat person this kidlet is, went to Pete and Jilli's, where more cat person marvelling was had, as well as a nice bit socializing.
Now we are home. And I've had too much coffee. Buzz buzz.
Mmmmm...
Tom! Is that cranberry-orange relish on your plate? That's what I make!
Timelies! My T-Day was spent with Emily, TomW and Nora and Nora's Mom over in their Salem condo, and it was outstanding. Plus they made special cowfree dressing and mashed potatoes for me which was delicious and a big treat! Plus we played Scrabble (which I lost at badly). Then drove Miss Emily home, came in and collapsed without even getting on the computer, so you know how tired I was!
Now I'm trying to decide whether to attempt the 8:30 AM yoga class....
Tom! Is that cranberry-orange relish on your plate? That's what I make!
Yes! My brother-in-law made it.
Also, I seem to be at work right now. What's up with that?
That's no good Tom.
Yummy leftover dressing for breakfast. I made about 5 times more food than required and look forward to the leftovers.
I do have to work, but I am about to run out the door and forward the office phone to my cell phone. I'd try again to do it remotely, but it never seems to work right. Also need to stop and buy a bunch of those Glad containers for leftovers!
I know it was hours ago, but Herah! I haven't seen you in forever. Sorry about the napkins. I have no useful advice on cranberry stains.
No work today for me. Post-turkey collapse is more like it.
