T-Day, Weekend Post Part I

Wow. Both sets of grandparents came up for the Pilgrim holiday. Major comedy, major baby pass around. First big holiday in the firehouse. Almost too much to report. Pulled a 9AM to 9PM kitchen duty, totally worth it.

Lounging with the chooch:



Put the dads to work soon after, in the kitchen. Here's Jeff on Ice cream duty, it was incredible - thanks to the Bryce clan / SJ for that insight:


The Janebug's full on thanksgiving outfit, handmade by "C.B.":


Last Xmas, Hunter gave me a ham from Colonel Bill Newsome. It's been hanging from the cieling for almost 11 months now. Covered in mold, cobwebs. Wasn't sure we'd do it up properly, but we hossed it. Followed the careful Lee Bros. direction, with some calls in real time to ensure we didn't f anything up. Here's the processing, this was 24+ hour deal. So excited to pull it off, more thanks to HK for teeing this one up, it was the main event on my birthday (that post to follow).

Mom was dubious.

Pretty tolerant crew. This did take ages.

The turkey was another story altogether. It came from Chinatown, Cantonese style, air-dried bird. Smelled like a plate of General Tso's. Tasted like heaven. My brother gave me a cleaver for xmas couple years ago, another long time couldn't wait to use. Almost comical. More thanks to TB for the hot tip, this thing was genius. We've potentially been cocktailing for hours at this point.

Crap pic, but dinner:


And, serenity.


Missed the junior Beavers, McKennas terribly. Know that we did toast for the out of state homies, with frequency.

Birthday shiz coming.
