Quinine's bitter, sugar's sweet

[sovay]

November the 26th as culturally sanctioned excuse for random culinary experimentation: works for me. The cider-braised pears, the traditional stuffing with sage, apples, and cherries, the chorizo and cornbread stuffing, and the sweet potatoes with chipotle and adobo are all through their first stages and awaiting tomorrow's finalization; the onions for the Zwiebelkuchen are cooking down, and I am about to embark upon a pumpkin flan. I beta-tested an apple pie with cardamom the night before last. I'm still deciding whether nobody but me would eat a mango pomegranate guacamole for Thanksgiving. Other objects of the menu are not my department. I had vaguely hoped not to be still cooking by midnight, but I lost most of this afternoon to an unexpected doctor's visit, and possibly this is standard practice, anyway. Last year I just made a savory pie.

I wish I could think of something aesthetic to do with all the turkey vertebrae in the right-hand side of the sink.

Don't you have any glitter?

The food all sounds very good, at least to me. I've never heard of guacamole that wasn't made of avocados, but I'd definitely give mango pomengranate guacamole a try, if it were me--it sounds like one of those things that would simply have to be good.

I'm sorry to hear of your unexpected doctor's visit, but glad you're able to be cooking.

Happy Thanksgiving!

(all I can think of is those cradles cucumberseed wrote about... not quite the same if it's turkey vertebrae, but it's what jumped to mind....)

Have a great Thanksgiving.

Hahaha! I can only imagine ...

Your foods always startle me because we do ordinary here, and I love how they taste when my imagination explores them. Enjoy your feast!
