thanksgiving dinner

My two favorite thanksgiving foods are pillsbury croissants and green bean casserole (things from a can and not very good for you).  We tried this year to class it up a little.  We made everything from scratch, and most of the items were organic, cage-free, kosher, etc.

Did you know that brussel sprouts are on a stem? I learned that earlier this year.

Our very delectable assortment of cheeses. Gourmet markets are awesome.

The Chez Mocks.

Our organic 14lb-er. I made that weight up.  I don't remember but the turkey was perfect.

Rolls.  It took three risings and four hours to make.

It's not a thanksgiving without cocktails.  Cranberry sangria.

An americana (bourbon and champagne).

Dinner.  We were on our feet from 9am to 7:30pm.  I felt like a waitress.  Our feet hurt soo bad from being the slaves in the kitchen.  Overall thanksgiving dinner was a success!

master copy

my next project for painting is a master copy. we get to choose a painting to rework in class. i chose wayne thiebaud's cakes. i wanted to pick something i would enjoy hanging in the house. i like happy art. my first choice was actually a david hockney painting, then third choice was a magritte (a little dark). i think i made the right decision.

wish me luck. i have a B in painting.
