My fellow Americans...

Happy Thanksgiving.

We went to Phoenix, my dad had a surgical procedure last week and is having some problems, so I figured I'd help out and fix dinner for them. I got all the groceries, did some prep last night (including making pomegranate molasses), and this morning I have a cold.

I might be OK to make stuff, as long as I only handle things in the pre-cooking stage, the long cooking times should be enough to destroy virii. I can certainly clean and cube potatoes for the mash. I'm not sneezing, just a mild cough. But I'll probably make my wife work harder. There's two mildly complex dishes to make.

*sigh*

To my non-USAian friends, I hope you have a pleasant day, not having to have much in the way of business dealings today with USAians.


Here's this year's new recipes for me:

Dressing with pancetta, apples, and mushrooms: three different breads!

There are some amazing deals to be had, but if I'm up and out the door at 4am it's because I'm getting paid to do some work at the observatory. I try to be very particular on what I spend some money on, and unless it's something that I was already planning on buying, a sale on something similar is not going to get me out the door.

There is no deal good enough to get me out of my house on Black Friday. Work is just about the only thing I will go out for. Of course, this year I'm working in retail, so I will be right in the midst of the insanity.
