Boy, am I glad that's over!

Here's Noir, my rerooted Romantic Girly III Chiika, enjoying the calm after the storm.

To be fair, Thanksgiving didn't turn out that badly--other than the fact that my father had to go to work at the hospital from 10am to 2pm and the turkey came out an hour and a half too late! Everyone got to sit down together in the end and enjoy the meal, so all's well that ends well.

You ever wonder?

Fascinating Late November Sky.

Sometimes when I look up at the sky I get the strange feeling that I'm living in a fishbowl.

I finally wished hard enough...

The sky's on fire!

What to do with Thanksgiving leftovers.

I certainly have been posting a lot today! We made this dish tonight using leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Rather than roasting an entire turkey, we did two 7lb hotel-style turkey breasts for 7 diners. So as you can imagine, we had a lot of leftover meat.

I love this dish so much more than the Thanksgiving meal. XD

Tomorrow we're going to use the turkey carcasses to make turkey noodle soup. Because the holiday season is all about cooking (and gaining weight).
