November complete and December ready to write in, plus my AEDM wrap-up

For those of you who like minutia, here is my life on paper.  My poor scanner is getting worse by the day, I fear.

December's calendar page is ready to be written in.  I hope you are ready for the last month of 2019!

Several of my internet friends wanted to know about my Thanksgiving meal.

To be honest, I hadn't even considered taking photos of my meal.   First, I don't really take good photos of food I make.  It always looks like a child made it.  Second, no one wants to see a plate of food that isn't staged.  And I wasn't about to stage my meal.  Yes, I ended up using my left hand and it started feeling better with use.

I will, however, share the meal with you. Granted, it looks like a lot, but if you look closely, you will see a lot of overlap.  For example, I used the cheddar cheese in the appetizer and the Mac and Cheese bake. I used the French bread in the stuffing and appetizer.  I used pears throughout the meal, first in the appetizer, then in the salad, and finally in the dessert.

The lentils were soaked overnight, then I added the carrots in the morning.  The rest of the carrots were roasted in the oven with rosemary and olive oil.  The green bean casserole, made with celery soup in place of mushroom soup, was made with onions I sliced and rolled in egg batter, then pancake mix, then were deep fried before I added them to the green beans and other ingredients.  I have lots of leftovers, too.  Some will freeze, some will need to be eaten immediately.

Finally, as I do every year, this is my wrap-up of my daily activities for Art Every Day Month or AEDM.

I'm simply thrilled you joined me for this month of AEDM.  It meant the world to me, especially since this was probably the worst (and hardest) month of 2019 I've experienced.

This is Day 30 of Art Every Day Month (AEDM), hosted by Leah Piken Kolidas, and I shared my never ending calendar, along with my Thanksgiving meal and my final AEDM wrap-up for this year.
