Blake is very thankful for cousin Nicks who play video games.

Blake's school's Stone Soup production.

Snacks before a feast.

Andrew post-chop-off-his-finger fiasco.

This family always has a long dog around.

Stuffing to be made.

Turkeys captured in brine.

Ginpump Cookies

Nov.

 I am back from LA.  I brought back some pumpkin inspiration.  

1. I had the best appetizer ever!  Pumpkin toast with miso jam, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds.

2. (Not pumpkin-y, but worth the shout out) Patron Silver with blackberry (uh, yum).

3. Did you know donut holes are called timbits in Canada?  Do you think they named them after Tim's bi... okay, nevermind.

Visit Emma Courtney's blog for a great recipe.

LA

I am really excited to be in LA learning how to be a great LCC.  I am enjoying meeting the high ups in the company and they are giving me the fuel to further the vision.
