TURKEY TIME: Another Thanksgiving is in the books. Our kitchen was busy, churning out a roast turkey, baked ham, too many pounds of mashed potatoes, cheesecake and more.
We made two batches of gravy - one turkey, one vegetarian. The kids chopped onions toward that effort.
Though they look super dorky, we're here to tell you that onion goggles really do work to help protect your eyes! We bought our pair for 99 cents at Goodwill months ago, and they've paid massive dividends ever since.
We made cranberries two ways - cooking whole berries and adding citrus and spices.
We also 'jazzed' up the gelatinous blob. Annabelle added some eyes and I carved some hair for it. ;)
FOUR GONE: Thanksgiving of 2011 was one to remember. Christian and the kids were with family, and I was in Florida, watching the launch of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, destination Red Planet. Here's a photo that was published by Spaceflight.com of the launch. I'm standing watching, dressed all in black (I put a red arrow over my head). What a sight that was to see!
How thrilling it was to track MSL's flight to Mars, its amazing landing and for four years now, we've been astounded by the science returned by the rover!
