Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Be careful, David. Pretty soon, Emmett isn't going to fit in your apartment any more.

Trust my rage

Ellie totally skipped size 6/6X. I suppose she went through it over the summer but she's now a 7 whose pants always have to be checked to make sure they don't fall off.

I will happily reimburse anyone who wants to do a TJs run for me!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Send me a list, Stephanie! More motivation to get to the store would be good for me.

He already doesn't! He sprawls on the couch and takes up the entire living room. In a household of four he manages to take up well more than half the living space. Even with his own room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, can you try a lucky store?

I will have to, because I think it will take subject matter expertise to find the proper current equivalent for what we bought before. I mean, I have worked out what the style title was (Easy Rider something), but I can't work out which of the three current Easy Rider options it's closest to. Or if this Sofia with the intriguing higher back rise development.

Oh, the possibilities that await me.

I missed the mark on spicing these muffins, but the texture was really successful. Good discussion.

Now, what is dinner?

Now, what is dinner?

I went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make cassoulet, but now I'm too lazy because I made & drank a Pisco sour. So I think it's going to be a mushroom quesadilla. And then maybe Ken Burns' new documentary.

I made lasagne. Browned off some ground turkey and some italian sausage, then sauteed some chopped onion and cremini mushrooms in the drippings. I added a jar of organic sauce, and let that simmer for 20 minutes to get acquainted. I had intended to make bechamel, but I forgot to buy milk, so I mixed some half and half with some frozen alfredo sauce. I layered meat sauce, white sauce, and one of those shredded italian cheese blends. It was nom and I am very full.

Simultaneously awesome and wiggins-inducing!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Dinner is grilled cheese with ham and lentil/sausage stew. To drink, I've had pear cider and bailey's with actual cream. I went to TJs, but there were no christmas jo jos yet. So sad. Instead, I bought yet more butternut squash and spinach gratin (holey moley yum!).

Now I'm sleepy.

Things we made today: an advent calendar, turkey place cards, a mostly completed wreath of awesomeness, a girl scout journal.

Tomorrow I will make mushroom/lentil shepherd's pie, apple cranberry crisp, and a whole bunch of pie crusts. And maybe mashed potatoes, since I have to make it for the shepherd's pie anyhow.

Who is coming over for thanksgiving?
