One more day for preparations....almost there!

What a wild world it was today....
Everyone and her brother decided that today was the day to shop for Thanksgiving!
Luckily, all I had to do was pick up the turkey! My darling had to fight the rudest people he had ever seen in the parking lots of Whole Foods! 
Whatever happened to 'Do unto Others?'
Doesn't apply in this town sorrily!

Happily we got everything done that we needed to do and survived!

We were fortified against the rudeness by this wonderful Rosemary Bread...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK EVERYONE!

The countdown begins............

Today's projects were bread, bread and pie crust! These fragrant beauties are Molasses-Coriander Rye bread. They go so well with turkey, actually they go pretty well with anything. Melted cheese is divine, too.

The Rosemary Olive Oil breads will be baked in the morning and the pie on Wednesday. If I have time I'll post photos as they are finished.

We are still trying to decide the filling for the pecan crust! More pecans or pumpkin? How about both in one pie pan?

We are in the middle of a white out of snow as I write.  We've had about a quarter of an inch in about 4 minutes. Won't last I'm sure.

Where does the time go?

Winter has arrived in the mountains, we've had snow off and on since November 3rd and now the nighttime temperatures are in the teens! The Arctic cold that is heading south today has brought us the most wonderful variety of birds. They stopped, frantically searching for seeds or whatever they could find and headed off to warmer climes. At one point we had a small flock of bluebirds, later a larger bird with a yellow-white breast that I haven't yet identified and then the robins, many, many robins.
