Running / Monday, November 24th

Colder and wetter today with a temperature of 47° and a steady drizzle. I did a 3 mile tempo run which helped to fend off the chill and allowed me to stay in shorts so I didn’t end up with soaked pants.

We're going to friendsgiving. I'm bringing the squash casserole from the Moosewood cookbook.  I believe the usual will be had. Turkey, potatoes, cranberries, pies... football.

TAPAS!

Also just 4 of us.  I just ordered a fresh duck and will make my usual balsamic glazed roast duck.  Sides will probably be mashed potatoes*, shredded Brussels sprouts, orange and beet salad, and a simple pumpkin pie for dessert. 

We had a "Thanksgiving in August" last summer w/ DH's family in Milwaukee.  My SIL had stopped treatment for metastatic breast cancer (she died in late September) so the feast was largely for her.  It was great!  Side dishes were the feature, and one of my nephews made their family favorite: a pumpkin chiffon pie.

*I'm tempted to buy some turkey gravy from our local market.  It's pretty good.  On the other hand, there's nothing like really buttery mashed potatoes sans gravy.
