Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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?

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I made breakfast burritos with pork chorizo and black beans, and I made a lot so I could eat the leftovers for breakfast the next couple of days.

I don't have a broken hand! My hand was a little baffling to the Urgent Care staff. They think dislocation, and I'm supposed to ice it, wear a brace, and take ibuprofen.

Glad to hear it's not broken, shrift!

Me, I spent 3 hours assembling Ikea furniture. And then checked out a house for sale in my sister's neighborhood. It's cool, and weird, and has the most amazingly kind-of-awful pink kitchen. Ewww.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had leftover boeuf bourguignon Chez my parents, so that was good.

Drank several beers during the Saints game, came home and made homemade mac & cheese, now sleepy, and maybe slightly hung over?

I had incredible mac and cheese at a church potluck for lunch, along with other misc. Thanksgiving-y things, so I've pretty much eaten free all day. Not bad!
