Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Nothing -ma to msbelle's mom.

Whew. I am wiped, and I'm still not done. The ham smells great and the in-laws came at 4 with the dining room table, with 6 chairs (one a captain's chair) and a sideboard. It was heavy as fuck, and big, and we had to move a ton of furniture just to get it in the house, then unwrap it, and set it up, THEN move all the old furniture back.

While I was trying to reduce a glaze for the ham. BUT! It is from the 30's and solid and beautiful, and I love it. I spent an hour dusting and lemon oiling it.

The ham got glazed and caramelized, it smells awesome! We have the china washed, and I just need to peel and chop 5 lbs of potatoes, make green bean casserole and polish two more chairs. Then I am DONE!!

Until tomorrow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The pie crusts are made. Next up cranberry salad. I think I will make the pie fillings in the morning while watching the parade. Since it's early I may make a green bean casserole as well, or cook up the meat for the sausage dip.

Seems like it would be a perfect place to open a fondue restaurant.

With a cured salmon special.

I'm going to two Thanksgiving dinners. Somehow I need to cook a dish for the second one during the first one.

Crock pot!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I made my dip and cut up the veg, and then did something kind of ridiculous: I'm also bringing hummus, so I bought two containers to put the dips in, so they match, but there is way too little hummus for the container, so it looks kind of dumb. Eh.

hip deep in pie

I am intrigued by sausage dip.

Nothing-ma to your mother msbelle.

I went to a David Sedaris reading tonight. He was as funny and cute as you can be while being dirty and talking about disgusting things.
