Why do I have my crabby pants on?

Seriously. Why must I have this attitude on holidays? I know how fortunate I am. I have everything I need (Well, except hair. And the glob that came out is surely affecting my mood) but winter holidays give my the groucheez.

This helped for a second...

But I went right back to surly town.

Let's all just look at Zofia's Christmas card picture smile and try to remember all the good things in life. Like wine.

Oh, if only every November was like this...

Perhaps I wouldn't dread each Fall. It's almost 60 degrees here in the great state of Ohio. It is making for a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. Athena had much gastrointestinal distress on Thanksgiving, so we're going to live it up today for Thanksgiving Part Deux.

Let's enjoy this lovely day.

(Athena made placemats for everyone.)

Time for MOAR TURKEY!!!!!!

Crock Pot Acorn Squash

For Thanksgiving with my mom and my little family, I am in charge of making sides. I thought this was the perfect time to try making some squash in the crock pot.

Ingredients
Acorn Squash
Butter or Margarine
Salt

I cut the squash into quarters and scooped out all the seeds pulp. (I'm going to try toasting the seeds. Perhaps they'll be like pumpkin seeds!) I smeared butter all over the quarters and sprinkled them with salt. Popped 'em into the crock pot on low for about 3 hours. SO easy.

My family doesn't particularly care for sweet squash, so that's why I just butter and salt them. A lot of people like their squash sweet so I found this awesome brown sugar and cinnamon recipe.

Oh yes

A Happy Thanksgiving indeed, when Wixey Bakery is involved.

I'm truly thankful for all of you.

Have a beautiful day.

Go Lions!
