Thursday's food was delicious. Things seemed much less stressful this year (even accounting for the fact that the Trio was hosting) - I credit the pressure cooker. I made two cheesecakes for Friday (lemon and pumpkin). These are the before and after pictures.
Friday was fairly relaxing too. We slept in. Went shopping, briefly. Made more macarroni and cheese (even better than the fancier 4-cheese version we made on Thursday), more roasted brussel sprouts, and turkey. The chef at Eli's asked us several weeks ago if we needed a bird - he had to order 10 from his supplier - so we got a fresh, organic, free-range, local bird for a very reasonable price. To be clear, I still don't consider myself a huge fan of turkey - but it was really good.
Saturday was the big night out that I've promised my brother for so long. We all had a bit too much fun. I slipped and fell - screwed up my tailbone - so I'm still in a fair amount of pain.
That's enough for now. I'm in the process of finalizing the December menu - and most of January's too! More on that tomorrow.

Oh no, tailbone! Ugh, that's the worst. I did something odd to my ligaments near that area many years ago and had to sit on a donut. Ask Cory. It was very embarrassing. But it helped!
The cheesecake looked delish. Yum! And your fridge—packed to the brim! I made pecan pie and pumpkin pie for the first time this year. Pecan turned out better.
Glad your tests went well, too! A relief. Big turkey hugs!
