is underway. We are expecting to have 21 people for dinner so there is a ton of work to get finished.
So far I've baked and pureed pumpkin for the pies, I have pie crust chilling in the fridge, and finished the cranberry sauce. I actually feel like I'm a bit behind this year. I was in court yesterday and today, and actually had a job interview that came up suddenly (cross your fingers for me) so I haven't been cooking as much as I would normally be in the days before the holiday.
Tomorrow I'm in court again, then its home to bake and prep. I'm attempting to make gluten free puff pastry!
I had another happy experiment with the vitamix for dinner (unfortunatly I didn't take any pictures) but I made a soup by roasting carrots, parsnips, kale, and onions then blended them up with veggie broth and cashews. It was delicious- but a little too thick. I need to remember more liquid next time.
And speaking of the vitamix... the munchkin has started to say "yum yum yum" when I turn it on and run happily in circles around the kitchen. I think he has been enjoying my experiments almost as much as I have.
