Thanksgiving went pretty well. Ready to progress to all things Christmas now.
A turkey, cooked to an appealing golden brown rests on a rack in a pan. A decorated and lit tree with wrapped presents beneath.

That tracks.
A small blonde dog peers through the few inches of a latched door. Soon, he will bark, denying my attempt to sleep.

Shameless plug for a friend of mine. She's starting out a new Etsy store with her quilting.

I got this elephant and I love it so much.

Our holiday tree arrived, so we went ahead and put it up. Its not quite as full as the picture, but I love it. Seeing it in the window when we were coming in from walking the dog made me so happy. Ornaments should come next week!

I got my ring for our vow renewal in May, and I can't stop smiling. I love it so much. Provence Gems did an amazing job!

My dress from Azazie has come! Its from their collection by Christian Siriano.
I love it so much. Needs a bit of alterations, but overall, it's just what I wanted for our vow renewal ceremony.

Six days post second Ghost concert, and I'm still having snippets running through my brain. It's not a fic thing, but I may have a fandom again. At the very least, it is a hyperfixation.

If anyone is into sweet wines, I highly recommend Vampire Vineyards Fangria Sangria. It was the perfect balance, and was very drinkable. I just went and ordered a three pack.

While the world is on fire, I've been coping by baking nonstop. So far, I've conquered bagels and cinnamon rolls and all manner of cookies. Today, I shall conquer a light and fluffy vanilla cake with cream cheese icing.
Bagels. Not pretty, but tasty. Cinnamon rolls A pile of snickerdoodles on the cooling rack. Oatmeal cookies on the cooling rack.

The morning's trip to the discount garden center netted some herbs and this small but vivid dahlia.

First attempt at making lasagna. It's a spinach and 3 cheese.

Cautiously optimistic?

Dinner turned out very well last night! Gochujang braised beef with bean sprouts and green onions. It was spicy and tender and flavorful. Definitely going on the semi regular rotation.
