I got a little behind. Whoa, December, stop going by so fast!
During week forty-nine, I cooked a lot. I made a lot of things. And I finished my novel!

Nov 26 – Salmon and lentils. So good.

Nov 27 – Shrimp and grits. Also good! And the first time I’ve had grits. Yum.

Nov 28 – Steak, with curry paste.

Nov 29 – I picked up a new hobby. I am a crafting machine. It might be a little out of control.

Nov 30 – I finished my novel for NaNoWriMo! That was pretty exciting, and I celebrated with some bubbly. Now it’s time for revisions.
I really didn’t pictures last week. It’s kind of sad: as the year winds down, so does my enthusiasm for this project. Alas. But here is what I DID manage to capture:

Dec 4 – I made stuffed squash with a mushroom walnut stuffing. When fall comes around, I just want to stuff food into other food. What is that all about?

Dec 5 – I have been all about this cocktail lately: bourbon, Calvados, apple cider, a bit of lemon, and thyme simple syrup. I’m not usually a cocktail drinker, but I love this one.
And as a special bonus, Sean took this picture of me serving up some pot roast:
I hope you’re all having a wonderful, non-stressful December!
