thanksgiving, here we come!

We're eagerly looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with our American friends the Chapman's in Lima! This is our first time cooking Thanksgiving dinner (other than dessert contributions), so we decided we ought to test out some recipes first. Today we started with Green Bean Casserole with homemade onion rings and Sweet Potato Gnocchi. The green beans were a huge success (probably even more so if fresh mushrooms were available) and the gnocchi a pretty big flop. Now we know and won't have to frighten our friends with them.

Sunday was a bad day to pick to play gourmet chefs, both because our housekeeper is home resting and because I have the distinct sense that I should be resting, too (even though my "day off" is Tuesday). The cooking itself was laborious but it was the dish-washing that really killed us. From leaving the house to buy the vegetables to finishing drying the last dish, we spent about 5 hours on our project. Good thing we like cooking. Too bad we don't have a dishwasher.

Speaking of hard labor and machines, we finally bit the bullet and bought a washing machine last week. It comes with a host of adventures, which I hope to recount in a post to come!
