a hundred miles or more
Radio silence yesterday: I spent eight hours in a conference room learning how to be a lady entrepreneur, then another four at one of the awesomest Monday Funday dinners in recent memory. A restaurant opening, cocktails with limes and tarragon-infused gin, and some truly hilarious dining companions: a recipe for success, to be sure. Also at some point we should talk about boulliabaisse, and how I ordered it last night just to see, and I can’t figure out where it has BEEN all my life. Also parmesan and olive shortbreads. Also grand marnier souffles.
(It was a fancy dinner. I wore my highest heels.)
Also: Thanksgiving is in nine days? Are you effing kidding me? I have three dinners to plan for, two birds to cook, and one boyfriend to convince that deep-frying on the deck is maybe not an avenue he wants to pursue. I have a book club assignment to start (erm, for book club this weekend…), some knitting to finish, and my favorite kid to sit for. Christmas card supplies arrived yesterday, and I owe my dad a batch of the chocolate-raisin cookies in the December Martha. My inbox is overflowing. I’m thinking about you.
Coffee and lists. Coffee and lists.

Two words: Grill the turkey. I guess that’s three. Turn the bird over to Tom, and you’re day will be so much easier. We always BBQ our turkeys….even in the snow. And it keeps the guys busy.
You’ll get it all done. And I can’t wait to hear about your new venture.

Deep fried turkey is wonderful! I highly recommend it. And, yes, it will keep the menfolk busy.
As for the rest…’tis the season!
