Just because you're going forward doesn't mean that I'm going backwards

For Thanksgiving, my father made me a fact rock from Over the Garden Wall (2014). Pictured at home:



My niece who seems to have liked the first episode has its mate. I walked around the block with my brother just after sunset and the air smelled like cold earth and barbecue smoke. [personal profile] spatch and [personal profile] rushthatspeaks Zoomed with different branches of family on either side of dinner. Our turkey observed the tradition of not actually cooking on time despite calculations beforehand and somehow we ended up with five pies. I was not able to deface the marker for Ten Hills Farm (and three people) in time for the holiday, but the squash and apple soup flavored with maple and sumac came out beautifully, with a sweetness and silkiness from the corn stock that I doubt a more carrot-and-celery base would have conferred. I will keep promoting [personal profile] a_reasonable_man's vision of Fast Day, the missing half of this festival of gratitude in our unbalanced wheel of the year. It keeps turning and we're here to ride with it and that is still the important thing.

Winding up with five pies is a very good thing.
