Went out for Thanksgiving dinner because this year has been too much to cook our own feast. 10/10 would recommend, especially if there’s also a wine pairing per course. 🥂
Oysters Rockefeller à la Maison Local oysters baked with Pernod cream, spinach, and crispy pancetta crumble. Pumpkin Velouté Silky pumpkin soup with brown butter crème fraîche, toasted pepitas, and sage oil drizzle. Autumn Harvest Salad Little gem lettuce, roasted delicata squash, shaved fennel, candied walnuts, and chèvre (goat cheese). Maple Brined Heritage Turkey Confit leg and roasted breast with black truffle gravy, sage stuffing, and cranberry gastrique. Served with Yukon Gold potato purée with roasted garlic and mascarpone. And charred Brussels sprouts with pancetta and pomegranate molasses

Peppermint had her final day today. As predicted, she continued to yell at us for treats and got to enjoy a pumpkin spiced donut for her final meal.

I’m going to miss you lots, Peppermint, but I’m so glad you didn’t have to suffer in the end. 🧡

Made the call for my little 19 year old nugget’s last day to be this Wednesday. She’s no longer interested in food much and her back legs are failing her more often than they’re helping. I never wanted to have to do this. 😞

I don’t know how many more days Peppermint has left so I’m letting her explore a lot more of the outside. We took a little stroll around the house this morning.

Alright apparently the winner was actually a secret third option — nap time

Today’s adventure! What will be more exciting to Cannoli: a 78 inch tall cat tree or the box it came in?
