I have been in the kitchen ALL DAY. Oof. My legs hurt. Pie from scratch, for these mini pumpkin pies, although the pumpkin came out of a can, as I didn't feel like carrying a pumpkin back from Whole Foods, rolls from scratch, giant turkey breast roasted (came out slightly dry -- I couldn't get the meat thermometer to read over 160, so I left Henry in the oven longer than I really should have), delicata squash stuffed and roasted. Alaska made some kind of sweet potato casserole and New York made a risotto-style mushroom pasta (NOM), and we barely made a dent in all of it. However, we did have SO MANY DISHES, which are now all done except for one roasting pan which has oil stuck to the sides, fail, and which if I don't get clean Maryland may shoot me. (However, if her alarm clock goes off again tomorrow morning, I may shoot that.)

I never get oil stuck to pans at home. Why does it continually happen here? *frowns*

I have a lot of fresh herbs left over, and a bunch of nuts. Not entirely sure what to do there -- I may try and make some kind of pesto.

Any Black Friday shopping will be done in the form of online shopping, as there is no power on this earth that will make me get up to go stand in line at 4 am. HELL NO. We may go and see HP7, and I need to start in on my Vikings paper.
