thanksgiving 2011
we celebrated this thanksgiving the way we celebrate every thanksgiving.
at my sister’s place. well, every other-she and my mom switch christmas and thanksgiving hosting duties.
anyway, she and her husband make the best turkeys.
they smoke one and fry the other.
one has perfectly fried skin, the inside is nice and moist.
the other tastes delicious. the meat tastes like bacon.
well, i suppose it just reminds me of bacon, but hey-a heaping serving of bacony flavored turkey?!
below, the fried one.
below, the smoked one.
mashed potatoes, cranberries
i made brussel sprouts, but no picture. how about this orange & pomegranate dish?
there were also pies, and someone made cupcakes!
hope you had a happy thanksgiving too!
club awesome trip: jerome post two
the little town of jerome is pretty rad if you’ve never been there.
it sits on a hill and the main drag is lined with shops, bars, restaurants, and galleries.
it’s a bit quirky.
alyssa, bree, and i grabbed a snack at quince.
had a sampler plate with mushroom nachos, stuffed potato wedges, and quesadillas.
and a piece of pecan pie laced with bourbon.
dessert and tea
today i am in los angeles.
we stopped at a small place called jin patisserie on abbott kinney.
i ate a flourless chocolate cake and drank a smoked black tea.
Disneyland
My friend Erin won a two day trip with parkhopper passes to Disneyland through a radio drawing. She invited some of her friends (Kelly, Bree, Susan, and me), and we just arrived at Disney’s Grand Californian. Wow. Just. Wow.
They surprised us with wine, cake, chocolate covered strawberries, and toys in our room.
sunflowers
summer sunflower
In the community garden where I live, I planted sunflowers.
I’ve never grown them before, but I remember my dziadzi (grandfather in Polish) used to grow them in his garden in Tempe.
stephanie’s cupcakes: the saga
i ordered cupcakes from my friend stephanie to take with me to my family’s easter celebration.
oh my.
they are key lime pie inspired.
they have a filling.
oh yum.
you can order cupcakes from her too.
leave a comment, and i will forward your email onto her.
oranges
this is the time of year when my hoa requires all the oranges to be picked from the trees.
apparently, we are still scared of roof rats!
so yesterday i climbed up into the orange tree and picked every last one of those buggers.
i’m sunburnt and covered in scratched, but i win.
now i have about a million oranges in my kitchen.
i plan on juicing them all-about a gallon will come with me this morning to brunch
where we will make mimosas.
the rest will probably be frozen to enjoy year round.
