Keeping asparagus fresh |
14 lb turkey in brine |
|
To keep the asparagus from drying out, I'm standing them in bowls of water. It's almost like I'm growing bamboo or something :->

To prepare my Thanksgiving turkey, I'm brining it overnight before stuffing and roasting.

Apple's Victory Brownies and Consolation Cookies (11/24/2009) |
Pumpkin Flapjacks |
DM & M |
The umpire suspended play for our softball game when the stadium lights went out in the evening. We'll either finish the game at a later date (we were ahead), or the score reverts to the last inning (we were behind). Apple made both brownies and cookies.

Very faint, but there's definitely a trail here that isn't visible in the previous or consecutive image. (I had my camera set to take photos at 30 second intervals).

Went out to watch the Leonid Meteor Shower in the wee hours of the morning. While we saw maybe 20-30 brilliant trails in the night sky, none happened to cross where my camera was pointing (in this case, Orion) I actually set up both my DSLR and traditional SLR, so maybe there's something on the film. We'll see after I get it processed :-(

Egg in a Blanket (ThisIsWhyYoureFat Edition) |
Party Favors |
Egg in a Blanket |
Egg in a blanket but with two strips of thick-sliced bacon and topped with shredded Swiss and Cheddar cheese. Evil, I know. At least, I garnished with some grapes and leftover Swiss. Oh, and there's orange juice.

Ready for tomorrow's party :-> As a matter of fact, practically all the wines were given to me at previous parties and have just stockpiled over time.

Very simple but delicious. Left panel shows the eggs cooking. I probably should have made the holes in the bread bigger. Right panel: the finished product seasoned with salt, pepper, and basil, garnished with some grapes, and served with OJ.

Our softball team didn't win last night even though we'd started off well :(
