what is your favorite brand of tea? i was at whole foods but they had NO loose leaf teas, sadly. i am debating between ordering kusmi tea, zhena's gypsy tea or tea from tealuxe. i know there are lots more good places to order tea from tho!

i have been catching up on my quilting bee blocks & starting pillows & a small quilt
for my parents & brother for xmas. i am going to give those, + for my brother
a threadless shirt i bought yesterday when they were $9 and for my mom a ketylo
hair stick, if they come back online, and then i need to find something for my dad.

thanksgiving

thanksgiving, originally uploaded by persephassa.

jenrow making us all laugh on thanksgiving.



some of the foods. there was a lot, more than just this, plus 5 deserts.



these nervous whippets, emma & golda, kept everyone entertained.
it was a lovely thanksgiving; we even played games! after we
got home braxton & i went & saw a serious man at the mayan.
it was okay. the road is playing there, too, so we'll have to return for that.

we're having thanksgiving with friends
from school this year, so we're not cooking ten million
things like we did last year. just mashed potatoes
& a squash soup. braxton is peeling the potatoes now.
then, after they're boiled, i mash them with
sour cream, cream cheese and butter, and sprinkle nutmeg
on top.

a winter squash soup i haven't made before:

2 lbs acorn squash
2 lbs butternut squash
1 stick butter (
8 tblsp brown sugar
3 carrots
1 onion
10 c stock
3/4 t nutmeg
3/4 t ginger
pinch of cayenne pepper
s&p

oven 350, roast squash halves with seeds scooped out
put butter and brown sugar inside each squash
place diced carrots / onion around squash
pour 2 c. stock over all, cover with tin foil, bake 2 hours

put all in cooking pot, + stock + spices
boil, reduce heat, simmer 10 min
puree all

from the new basics cookbook

It's the weird shit that moves me...
This at FiveThirtyEight had me rolling today:

"First, there is the fallacy that anything not specifically prescribed by the Constitution is unconstitutional. True, the Constitution doesn’t mention health care; but neither does it mention air traffic control. Is the FAA’s safeguarding of our skies from commercial crashes therefore unconstitutional?" - Tom Schaller

we need a new humidifier. this is the one we have now:



it lasted about a year, & recently it stopped working correctly.
i miss it! especially now that the heat is on, i feel
really parched when i wake up in the morning, since
the humidifier isn't pumping out mist like it should.

do you have one? maybe we should get a less kitschy one this time ;)

fussing / HALP
so.

winter quarter i'm taking a class on modernity (lit) and
a class in digital media studies on sound production.
i am also scheduled to be a ta for laird, and that
class conflicts with my literature class, so it is possible
i wouldn't have ta thing at all, i guess. i don't know what
to do. i was excited about the modernity class
but also about ta-ing for laird; my only other option
is to take this antebellum lit class. what do you think?

i feel like i ought to take the class i wanted but
then i miss out on ta-ing for laird, who is awesome, and
maybe i won't be reassigned and then i won't be ta-ing at all & i won't be
able to put ta-ing on my teaching portfolio... i'm not
sure how important that is, tho, since i will
be teaching. blehh screwed

i give up; i'll just go live in the mountains and eat lichen.

option 1 or 2 )
