I am going to do a bit of semi-live blogging of our Thanksgiving. I will be mostly doing photos and some text.

As you know, I had to punt the whole turkey wellington jazz and I have brined a 16 lb turkey. Its been pulled out of the fridge and is coming to room temp, slowly.

Yesterday I baked three pies (2 pumpkin and one chess pie). I also baked butternut squash with garlic and rosemary. That will be made into soup today. I cut up a baguette for crostini and I caramelized onions for those little toasts.

In the mean time, we are cleaning the house like demons and pulling beets out of the garden.

Did I mention its 60 some degrees today and the sun is actually shining?

A couple of days ago it was snowing and the kids were having hot chocolate and building a snowman.

We will also have spinach from the garden. We will be enjoying small beet greens.

We will munch on organic baby bok choy too.

KD loves to check out the gingerbread house kit which they will be doing with their grandparents once they get here!

More later!
