Make a Wish

Today, true to the Thanksgiving leftover tradition, my dad decided to put the turkey carcass to good use (is this inappropriate for a vegetarian food blog?) by making a big batch of turkey stock. After the juices had been sufficiently rendered, my dad and I pulled on the wishbone, each in hope of getting the better half. Here’s how it turned out:

I made a wish, but I ain’t tellin’ what it was;)

I’ve had a pretty non-eventful Friday—just a little movie watching and finishing up my 20-page paper (!). Here’s how I kept myself fueled along the way:

It was far too cold for a run outside today, so I had an indoor exercise day. Despite the cold weather, my body was still craving a smoothie for breakfast. Oh wait, my body is always craving smoothies.

Thanksgiving in a bowl!

My recent culinary laziness came to an end this evening, apparently—I whipped up a batch of pumpkin bulghur chili. So hearty and delicious.

Alright, my mom and I have decided that an evening viewing of Elf is in order tonight. Happy weekend to all!
