Our deep frying plan is taking longer than we thought. First we didn't have enough oil (facilitating a last minute run to the store for another 3 gallons). We're still waiting for the oil to get up to temperature. The bird's been injected with apple cider and rubbed with kosher salt and hopefully we'll be able to get it in.
I made the pies (cherry and sugar cream) and the pumpkin cheesecake last night. Whipped cream is whipped. Only need to put the green beans in the oven and do the potatoes.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Buffistas. I'm thankful for every last one of you.
Juliana, please swing by! It would be lovely to see you. Be warned there's the high school city championship football game going on at Kezar so parking is hard to find.
Jon was visiting recently and took pictures of Matilda at circus school.
For your entertainment and amusement, I present to you Matilda on the trampoline. (That's Emmett running behind her.)
ACK! AM DEAD!!! Matilda is too damned cute.
All this turkey, pie and stuffing talk is making me very hungry!

Come visit us, Sue! We'll feed you.
Help me, hive mind! I was planning on making stir-fried green beans with a balsamic/mustard sauce. The beans are supposed to be cooked in bacon fat, but we just remembered our nephew is now keeping Kosher and is not eating pork. What oil/fat should I use to add a little taste to them? Olive oil? Butter?
Olive oil -- butter would be nummy, but he won't be able to have it with a meat meal. Oil is bisexual.
Yep-- the olive oil or if you have any nut oils, like sesame.
