Thanksgiving Dinner

"It's not what's on the

table, it's what's in the chairs."

Happy Thanksgiving!

A perfectly lovely Thanksgiving with my @Poopsy and our families :]

Apples of my eye

Empires are red. And

Mutsus are green. Plump and crisp.

Let's make apple pie!

I went to visit my best friend, @Stephie, in Ithaca, NY for her 21st birthday this weekend...and, we went to an apple orchard! It was positively lovely...and there were certainly more than enough apples to put doctors out of business.

Don't cry over diced onions

If you're like me and don't know how to do anything food preparation-related, then you'll understand that today is a momentous occasion for me. Because today (sadly, at age 20) I diced my first onion! Thanks, chowhound, for teaching me this valuable life lesson: How to Dice an Onion.

And I didn't even cry! (out of psychological or chemical reaction) Here are some tips I found:

1. Refrigerate beforehand. Apparently, the onion holds its tear-inducing juices better when it's cold.

2. Breathe through your mouth, not your nose.

3. I've always been told to cut the onion underwater, but I think that's somewhat impractical/unnecessary measures

And then those beautifully diced onions went into the homemade guacamole in my 4-layer dip!
