Nov. 27th, 2009 11:46 amThanksgiving was a success. The turkey was thawed when I woke up yesterday morning, cooked up beautifully. Food was eaten. Family was visited with, Beatles were Rocked to. I will never make butternut squash any other way than roasted with a maple syrup glaze ever again. Mmmm... (take 1 med butternut squash, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 C maple syrup, a bit of salt & pepper. Toss. Spread on foil-lined baking sheet. Cook at 400F for 35-40 min. Eat. NOM.)
The turkey carcass is now in a nice water bath, bubbling on the stove, turning into lovely stock so I can make soup later. I dread the thought of making the trek to the bank, but Black Friday in Windham shouldn't be too scary. Everybody will be at the mall. Then Naptime.
Camille & Astrid's Great Adventure begins at 4:30 this afternoon, when I leave to go pick her up, then we driiiiiiive to Nova Scotia. Only 9 hours, 11 minutes. Plus gas stops. We are quite possibly insane. Is it worth it, for a 1-day event? I hope so... I think it will be fun. :) Will get to see Isobel & Guthfrith, who I haven't seen since Pennsic last year, and Isobel is going to help me out with some super-spiffy new garb plans... could possibly even be ready for Winter Feast/12th night, but definitely Birka. That's the plan, anyway. Also hoping the rain we're getting at the moment stays rain. Do not want to drive in snow/ice/ick, not just yet.
