happy t-day! Yesterday was spent cooking up a freaking storm. I don't know how I signed myself up for all that cooking! I volunteered, for some reason. Then bougth too much food, so had to cook more. Then my parents were coming over for brunch (mom worked during dinner, so no turkey for her!) so had to make food for that. Agh!

I cooked fritatta with the kitchen sink thrown in, tarte tatin, sweet potato casserole, broccoli/cauliflower/carrots, and a ready made pumpkin pie. Aiaiai. Still, I'd so much rather be in charge of these instead of turkey and those accotrements. Did you know that gravy consists of boiled turkey necks? Ummm. Mental note made here! Bleah.

Today is Buy Nothing Day and I've already bought myself a coffee. Does that count? Really, though, I will be so far from the malls and big box stores today! I have a colleague who's already hit best buy and circuit city! ???? Never mind that I hate those stores on a regular day - I cannot imagine being stuck in there during holiday madness. Yikes.  ¶ 09:33
