Thanksgiving Eve

Thanksgiving Eve was productive! Worked a bit more than a half day, cleaned Coeus's fish bowl and overfed him a bit since he'll be alone for 4 days. I debated taking him home, but people agreed that it'd be disruptive to him.

I got the nod of approval from Shawn on the progress if the rutabaga roasting. 

Christine came by to help & made mini apple pies with my new kitchen toys. And I showed restraint by only making one, not 2 pumpkin pies.

I also roasted rutabaga. Roasted Brussels sprouts. Roasted butternut squash and made it into two batches of vegan and non-vegan soup. Made mashed potatoes with sour cream, cheddar and chives. Made sweet potatoes with maple syrup, butter and cinnamon (tomorrow they will get roasted with mini marshmallows on top). Made compound butter with herbs and garlic for the turkey, who has been in his brine since yesterday. Now he's in the bathtub coming up to room temperature. See, productive!
