Zingerman's Rolls

Rhoda recently sent out the recipe for Zingerman's cinnamon rolls. I made them for the day after Thanksgiving. They are as good as we would expect from Zingerman's. Not too hard either. But the 2 hour proof in the morning could be a drag.

Vittoria Does what Katie Says

Thanksgiving 2009 in Michigan

We finally got a turkey sufficiently large as not to be embarrassing - 36 pounds. It cooked in about 7 hours, so we ate by noon (thanks to Vittoria getting up at her normal time (early for the rest of us) to start the bird). We had a few leftovers. Unfortunately, I was not very good at getting the cheesecloth off the bird. I will have to practice. I need a haircut.

Brownie Parade

Katie walked with the Brownies for our Thanksgiving parade. The local brownie troops represented different nations; Katie's represented Jamaica. With much authenticity.



Mary did not like the paparazzi.

Happy thanksgiving!

Happy Pfthanksgiving!

Knitting

For Mary...Her bear mittens.

This is me!

Elmira Star Gazette

(Do-doo-do-doooo!!!)  What's that sound?  That's me, tooting my own horn.

Edited:  We now have pictures...  I hosted my first town meeting.  Not all by myself, of course, but I did it.   Here people are arriving.

We had opening remarks and then a visual preference survey of how people vision their park.

I led a group discussion. That was trick because in rehearsal that was not my job so I didn't pay attention and didn't know what questions I was supposed to ask and the like. :)

Then people reported what their groups talked about and what they wanted.

See the news?

And then I talked at the end.
