By On November 23, 2010 · 1 Comment

Tomorrow is cooking day. Hopefully I will be able to fit everything in the fridge including a 12-15 lb. turkey which I’ll pick up tonight. This is all my way of saying you may not hear from me for a few days, between cooking, eating, and company. This weekend we also celebrate my parents’ 60th [...]

Getting ready for Thanksgiving

Okay. Don’t freak out. I know it’s not even Halloween. I’m not one of those folks who puts out the decorations two months ahead of time. But I am starting to get emails about ordering Thanksgiving turkeys from local producers and noticing that people are starting to search for “Thanksgiving” related topics, [...]

Stop wining

By On November 25, 2009 · 1 Comment

Ah…the wine. Forget arguments over whether to put the mini-marshmallows on the sweet potatoes, lately the real struggle is about which wine to serve at Thanksgiving. Bring something big, red and cheap? Or a “good” bottle that you really want to sit back and enjoy because – hey, it’s a holiday and you’ve got time [...]

A cool, crisp November weekend

By On November 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “weekend run-down.” But I’m finally feeling more myself and getting over (fingers crossed) this pneumonia. Mark, however, has bronchitis. My family has started referring to our home as “Plague City.” Lovely.

But there is so much fun stuff going on this weekend that I simply had to [...]

Thanksgiving in Wycombe: Going Local

By On December 8, 2008 · 2 Comments

I was never sure about this Thanksgiving. All along I’d imagined a big, warm gathering, our first Thanksgiving in our new home. I could see and feel it, even when reality kept blocking the view.

Deer, Dogs and Turkeys

By On November 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m still new enough to Wycombe that discovering a nest of deer bedded down in the hedge is a thrill. My neighbors, who are careful gardeners, are less thrilled, as is Cody, whose only thought is to get the intruders out of his territory. Two of the does scampered off as soon as we wandered [...]
