Happy Thanksgiving
The table is set. I improvised a way to hang the chandelier directly over the table. I've made demi-glace heavily laced with shallots. I can't stand gravy, but I'll go as far as demi-glace, to which I will add drippings from the turkey when it's cooked.
For lunch, I had some of the leftover mushroom soup I made recently. Absolute bliss. The depth of flavor is remarkable, all the more so when it's sat in the fridge for a while.
We've been listening steadily to Dar Williams, who knows a thing or two about families and how they (dis)function.
My brother just called from the thruway, saying he's late as usual. Huh? Not by my standards. I reiterated that dinner is at 5, other than that it's all groovy. I heard something in his voice which indicates that he's stressed over something. I'm sorry, but if it's dinner at our house it's a shame. I don't think I'm asking too much of him.
The sun just came out, which feels like a blessing.
