gobbling goodness
I managed to make the 2nd Annual Turkey day sugar cookies at the Hiltons! The middle photo is actually of a batch of peanut butter cookies (which burnt) that I made for Reid & friend Marshall. Several technical issues this year besides not being able to be in my own kitchen. The icing bags burst at the seams, my brown came out more of a brownish-caramel, and the cookie sheets available really kinda burnt the bottoms. Oh well, at least they tasted good.Thanksgiving day is supposedly the biggest movie day of the year (probably because everything is closed and people are too tired to do anything besides sit) so we went to the movies the day after, a great idea for the Hiltons plus two. Marshall came with us to see the new Bond movie, Quantum of Solace which was decent. Definitely not the best of the Bonds.

turkey day
happy thanksgiving!
i hope you are able to spend the holiday with friends & family, and eat so much that you nap all afternoon. reid & i are in west tn at his parents house. they recently invested in a new ping pong table (mostly for the excercise & reid's nephew's) which has taken over their garage. though it's a chilly 33 degrees outside, we managed to warm up around the table & waste a few hours playing. some of the hilton family came by for turkey and dressing that afternoon, but nothing was as much fun as playing Connect Four with little Hunter. i hadn't thought about that game in probably 10 years, but as soon as he mentioned playing, the old commercial stuck in my head. i let him win best 2 out of 3 or course.

tacky or functional?
this is my 'dangle earring' jewelry lamp. it really happened by a happy accident. for a long time i kept my earrings that were too big or loopy to lay inside my jewelry box on a wired mesh ribbon scrap (i hung the ribbon vertically on the side of my dresser). in college this was also the only way to i had store them and one day, probably when moving from one apartment to another, i safety-pinned the two ends and threw it over the lampshade instead of laying it down to keep from jumbling a mess. and presto! earring lamp.11.19.2008

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E recycle!
i think these will be my next purchases from ikea. i really need smart recycling bins for my kitchen. since i dont have a garage, or a closet for the bins, they should look nice, right?
