Btw, I’m reliably informed that White and Square is set to get his Masters in January. Which seems fully impossible but there you have it.
Holy cow!
My bruises are spectacular today, and I am really sore. But I think pumpkin pie will fix everything.
On the road -- didn't leave by 8a, but we did leave by 9a, which was the plan. Doggo self- crated when she realized what was happening, poor noodle. Dog sitter was on the way, so she'll be happy. Rainy and some traffic around Baltimore, but otherwise, smooth sailing.
Cereal:
Pumpkin pie will fix it.
Wow, how did "looked like a tooth" child get to a Masters so fast?
Yes, pumpkin pie is a T'day miracle cure.
We spent yesterday at Mom’s doing food prep, and now we’re headed back there for the meal itself. ltc is then going to stay at Mom’s until Sunday.
Mr Looked Like a Tooth So I Ate It is getting his masters?? Wow I feel old.
I like my friend I am staying with a lot but thank god she has an electric mattress pad heater thing in this guest bed. I just got up (she sleeps in late) and it is 61 degrees in this house. I made coffee and have snuggled back in bed with the dog. I believe our plan today is “cook the food we are bringing, then watch some gay tv, then hope that the people we are dining with don’t suck” (the hosts are friends of hers but we don’t know any of the other guests)
I am pleased to report that the pumpkin pie filling passed the taste test prior to baking. You can't trust these things to chance, particularly with my lack of precise measuring. Brendon would be okay with a pie first plan.
I have managed to clean the kitchen from yesterday's cooking, so it is prepared and ready to go.
Wrote out my menu to keep track of it and I'm in pretty good shape.
Especially since dinner got pushed back to 4pm.
I've cleaned up a little around the house though it needs vacuuming.
And I have showered and shaved and am about to go outside to find Second Coffee and perhaps a bagel before I start cooking the mushroom stew and get the bird in the oven.
The brown butter sauce for the pumpkin ravioli is in the crock pot so I don’t have to make it last minute this year. I’ve never done it that way before. So hopefully it comes out okay.
