Dawn Brocco's Life & Design Blog

Spent yesterday getting ready for today - cleaning, laundry, making the sage stuffing, setting the dining room table, etc.

Spent today cooking, then Dad came up with Ann for dinner and dessert, then drove home as it's a ways and he has work tomorrow, as does hubby. Washed all the dishes and pots, watched a bit of one of the Bond movies, then went back to pattern-writing, which I'm still on. Am crunching the #'s for the 4 sizes of the heavy worsted wt. version of one of the new cardigan designs. This one will be in bulky wt and heavy worsted, both in 4 sizes.

I'm no big fan of so much cooking, but at least it will last a few days - fresh green beans cooked then tossed with butter toasted almonds, the sage stuffing, made from scratch, including spending several hours toasting the 40 slices of bread, giblet gravy, again from scratch, glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, green salad, fresh from my garden this morning, and iced tea - yup, fresh brewed, not powder, and the turkey, which hubby took care of. And, Ann made a cheesecake with a touch of orange, of which only a third remains!

I've been pooped for hours, yawning my brains out, so I'm gonna go make a cup of tea and go back to the Bondathon!
