On the verge of Thanksgiving


The CSA box contents. This time's farm bounty included green onions, yams, tomatoes, kiwi, apples, pears, potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, lettuce, limes, Italian kale, lemons, and spinach. And the last pile of apples, along with walnuts and chestnuts.

The posting has been on a brief break while Ari finished writing up one of her presentations for college. She had total dominion over the computer.

I went to a wonderful vegetarian thanksgiving dinner at the Veg of Washington group with my friend Lisa on Wednesday night. The main course was a delicious grain and cranberry concoction called Field Roast.

Yesterday, we had our writing group. I'm finally up to my first hundred pages of my project. Yahoo! Ari also has a good start on one of her projects, and Lisa is moving right along on one of our favorite stories.

Today, the kiddles and I went in search of Thanksgiving goodies. We found a small, organic, free ranging turkey and a little, uncured, chemical-free ham. We have plenty of veggies on hand from the CSA box. And we thought, we'd try our hand at making pumpkin pies from scratch using the remaining pumpkins from this year's garden. Wish us luck.

"moving right along." You're being far too charitable!
