I’m taking all of next week off, so today, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, could be considered my first day of Thanksgiving vacation. Or else it’s just a regular Saturday before I start the vacation – I dunno. I hope to do a bunch of house stuff – sort magazines, and recycle them; clean John’s old room; cook; plot & plan for cookie season …. Today I made a big batch of cranberry applesauce, and there’re pots of potato soup and chicken stock simmering even as I write. And I took some photos of the squash that are sitting on the counter waiting to be either pie or centerpieces.
