I finished the work I wanted to get done about 10 minutes ago, and I am not about to start anything else, so I need to kill 11 minutes, and then it is off to TJs bedlam for just one thing, and then home until Monday. YAY
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Coconut foam is in the fridge, wine is selected and bagged by the front door, I am technically done with holiday prep.
Of course, there's all the not holiday related stuff I have to do. In a bit.

So I was watching The Great British Bakeoff last night and they had this thing called Hot-Water Pastry Crust. I may try it today, and see if my pie comes out okay.
And now off to the vet. Poor puppy is still sick: I think she ate some of the mat on the front porch the other day. At least that's the only possibility I can think of...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Consuela, are you making a savory pie? For some reason, that's what I think hot water crust is for?
Finished my stupid work and will try not to think about it until Monday.

Timelies all!
Going to my MIL's as usual for Thanksgiving. Bringing a pie for us, as Gary's mom is watching her calories.(Health reasons)

Thrift store was closed, but the bags are in the car and out of the house. PO counter was closed, so one package did not get mailed. Grocery store shockingly uncrowded, in and out quickly. Now food prep.

I was totally boggled when I watched the hot water pastry crust episode. I had never heard of such a thing, and they all seemed like it was something they'd learned at their mothers' knees.
In dining room news, I have sanded and washed and as soon as the timer goes to turn down the temperature on the cranberry quick bread that's in the oven, I'm going to prime. Because the paint came via UPS today, so if I prime tonight I can put color on the wall tomorrow morning in plenty of time before the in-laws show up! /crazy

I made molasses cookies (for the guy who saved my butt on Saturday night with the smoke alarm drama), just pulled pie out of the oven, and made cranberry sauce from scratch for the first time! I also bought an already-cooked turkey breast at the store, because this is all just for "leftovers" rather than an actual "dinner" (which we are going to a restaurant for). Tomorrow, green bean casserole, brussels sprouts, and stuffing. Maybe sweet potatoes too, i have them but haven't decided a plan for them.

I have done...nothing productive. Being sick is hard work.

Is someone going to make Thanksgiving for you, Suzi? Sick is the worst.
