I think this time of year more than any other is when I take a good look at the past year, at my life, at the wonderful people around me both near and far, and I am so thankful for all of it. I'm also thankful for all of you. xxoo Manisha - I haven't tried it! I have to admit that I stopped buying ice cream once I learned how to make my own - mostly b/c it uses up all the egg yolks leftover from making buttercream frostings or macarons! :) Allison - I think it's a tough call with the citrus. Candying orange peels versus lemon slices versus calamansi lime slices has all been trial and error for me. I guess if they are super hard, then you've simmered them too long or perhaps on too high a temperature? Also, I think blanching them first really makes a difference in removing bitterness as well as softening the rinds. I blanch my orange peels 3 times before simmering in sugar syrup. Collette - I haven't been keeping track of yarns for the past couple of years, so I haven't tried Malabrigo. It sounds lovely. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks! Jess - parrots, crows, birds like shiny, sparkly, colorful things :) That's why I'm a parrot. I love colored glass :) Kim - I'd hardly call myself a knitter. I'm just a knitting enthusiast with minimal skills! My friends are PHENOMENAL knitters :) I froze the passionfruit pulp. Will have to plan a special dessert with it when I have more time (like in 2010). You guys are great and I enjoyed reading what Thanksgiving means for you.

The family and friends gathered around a table of food in a warm house remind us of what is important in our lives. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for our blessings.
