Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving meal is finished, temporarily. It was a success. The menu was a butterflied turkey breast with sausage pean stuffing. It is rolled up and covered with the turkey skin that was carefully removed and wrapped around it. It was then covered with cheese cloth & tied so it wouldn't fall apart. It was then slathered with butter. This recipe was Martha's (Stewart). It was alot of work but well worth it. I also made cranbury chutney. There are raisons and a diced up apple in it. To die for. For desert I made a peacn chocolate chip pie. It is a Emeril recipe out of Martha's Everyday Food Magazine. Simple to make. I used brown sugar Splenda which barely made a dent in the caloric intake. It was well worth it.though.

Ready for the oven.The plated turkey.

                                                                           Bob's portion. I forgot the chutney.

My little portion with chutney. Yum yum.

Pecan chocolate chip pie. Delicious..

The latest

My eye is still healing. The gas bubble is shrinking a little. My left eye is still giving me trouble. I'll have to wait and see. LOL. I managed to finish the penny rug table mat for Thanksgiving. It came out pretty good for having only half an eye. Also in the mean time I asked Bob to add on to the spice rack he made a long time ago. And he also built a shelf for the craft room. He also built a custon holder for my Everyday Food magazines. He dovetailed it. It looks great.

Sewing with Noodle

Yesterday was Halloween and Noodle wore her bat girl dog outfit. The kids loved her. I also had a dancing broom that was sound activated. There were around 40 trick or treaters. Not bad. Today I was trying to do some sewing. Noodle was crying & whining. She has to be in on everything including sewing. I put her on the table on a pillow but she decided to once again to sit on the table mat while I'm working on it. I'm still blind in my eye because of the gas bubble and Noodle was making it harder to see with only one eye. But I can't be mad because she is too cute.
