"we love nature, even when it’s being mean or just acting stupid"

It is very cold and very windy and until recently very out of powery.  The wind seems to have died down a bit so I feel confident starting my thanksgiving baking tonight.  Which is of course why I am blogging.  To prepare.  For the baking.  It's the first step in Joy of Cooking, I swear.  Anyway, I am making chocolate and ginger tarts for tomorrow.  I'm also making roasted vegetables and maple butter acorn squash in the morning.  I also need a roll recipe...or a cornbread...I can't decide.  Squashy nutritionless white rolls covered in butter are the tradition in my family but then half of us are pre-diabetic so maybe I shouldn't take my culinary cues from tradition.  I'm going to search for a new recipe tonight, maybe something with a grain.

I was dog-trampled on a regular basis as a child, and as you can see I'm perfectly norma-- oh wait, maybe I'm not the best example. Nevermind...
