Where a love lost at sea is waiting for you
Actually both the shortbread crust and the salt caramel filling worked out in their respective pies and the pumpkin dumplings resembled kneydlekh far more than I expected even from dropping the dough off a spoon into boiling water, although my mother suggests sage rather than thyme in the brown butter next time. Collective Zoom with my teal-haired godchild involved watching him compare and contrast American and Japanese Fanta in the first-time real time of an unboxing video, albeit with more accidental snorting of carbonation. My niece arriving late in the evening has acquired a sort of garnet swirl throughout her own hair. We have sufficient leftovers that I am already planning my standard after-Thanksgiving dinner of a turkey terrific. I am not at all thankful for multiple days of thought-blinding headache and refuse to be, but I have acquired a surprise of gifts from friends within the last week: two books, a photograph of a poem, a letter by international post. As soon as we got home, Hestia was fed with great eagerness and satisfaction on the turkey we had been promising her all week.

I spent almost literally the entire day in bed and mostly asleep, which I'm hoping helped.

It is the stacked deli-style sandwich you make the day after Thanksgiving with the stuffing toasted onto the bread and the turkey warmed and cranberry sauce layered on it before you put the two halves together! They were originally a specialty of a local sandwich shop which may or may not still make them and one year we just started making them ourselves. They are an actual seasonal food.

How, how is he going to be fifteen? We are twenty years old. Thirty tops.
I am not in favor of your headache, but I am very pleased to learn about the pies!

Well, I'm glad he's enjoying it, wherever he thinks it comes from.

The crust on the pecan was pretty much a dead loss as both my mother and I had thought it would be, since we were skeptical of the recipe, but we followed it just to find out and next year we will buy a pie crust as people do.

I hope the headache goes away asap, though. *hugs*

Thank you! The traditional components of turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce were also delicious, but less experimental, so require less reporting back.

Persimmon and Pomegranate. Also protagonists. When they shapeshift, they join up with Garnet and Teal...

Other than the headache, it sounds like a lovely Thanksgiving.

Thank you. It is much better: I just still want to be asleep.

It was small and family and nice. I would have liked not to need to run around so much, but there wasn't much help for it.
