Mmm. Thanksgiving came out well, even if I ended up forgetting to make gravy. Oh well!

The final menu: butternut squash soup; baby spinach salad with toasted almonds, goat cheese, and poppy seed dressing; garlic mashed potatoes; mashed sweet potatoes New England style (make the sweet potatoes, put them in a baking dish, top with Fluff, pop into a 475 oven for 10 minutes or until the top is golden); cider-roasted veggies (carrots and beets and cremini mushrooms); sesame green beans; turkey breast with apple-cherry stuffing; and pumpkin rice pudding.

The leftovers are disappearing quickly, despite going out to dinner at Oga's yesterday and then getting burgers from O'Sullivan's tonight!

Amusing links from the past few days include:

Allston one of the 50 Worst Places to Live in the USA - "Allston is a Neverland for the thrift shop set," he writes. ". . . you have this whole aging (thirtyish) segment of the population pathetically suffering from the Peter Pan-like delusion that they'll never grow old or irrelevant, still hanging out at the college bars and sitting in each other's living rooms dissecting pop culture like it's 1992."

McDonald's tries to patent sandwich-making.

A bra that converts into a shopping bag. Um.

But the topper: Tampon Crafts. From the "feminine-scented" bouquet of tampon flowers, to holiday decorations (menorah and angel alike), to the "Bloody" Tampon Heart Earrings ...

My reaction to the first: WE ARE MOVING WE ARE MOVING WE ARE SO TOTALLY FREAKING MOVING.

Husband agreed. \o/

And I saw the bra thing - I think it was on the Daily Show, maybe?
