Returning back from break (even though I didn't actually go anywhere for the holiday) is kind of rough-- but having a short break from work & school was most excellent. I can ::just:: hear my assignments calling me to brush up on actionscripting and to quit this darn blogging...
(I hate actionscripting).
I helped my brother, who came back home from school for a few days over the Thanksgiving break, make pumpkin cheesecakes on Thanksgiving Eve. Turns out, a hugely disgusting amount of cream cheese-- pounds and pounds of the stuff-- goes into cheesecakes...
There were no cheesecakes left by Saturday. Not a single one.

Brother was in charge of making, well, everything Thanksgiving-meal related, from mashed potatoes to stuffing to sweet potatoes to gravy to the turkey.
We got the smallest turkey we could find, which was still a 16 pounder. It actually turned out to be an appropriately sized bird, and was pretty much completely eaten by the end of the Thanksgiving meal ( held at my cousin/bff !'s house, with lots of family friends invited, including my neighbors-- the adults just made the entire day a majong-playing day).
Despite my vegetarianism, I found the turkey-cooking process wholly fascinating:
spices, herbs and butter on turkey
rubbin' it in
After posting those snapshots up, all I can see is:
End result.
It smelled great.
I miss turkey.
The stuffing and mashed potatoes were good though. And the green veggies. And the cheesecake. Goodness I want more pumpkin cheesecake (::whine:: despite the amount we made, all I had was a small sliver). Oh well- there's always Christmas for more pastries and foodstuffs.

And a non-cynical (break from my ole- blah blah blah Stolen land! The death of millions of Native Americans! The slaughter of millions of turkeys! Boo, why do we even celebrate this holiday?!) reflection on Thanksgiving:
