root beer belly

More of the chestnuts I picked up on my walk the other night. Thanks to Adam for his guest post - he's so sweet. And the cookies were fantastic. They're perfect peanut butter cookies - light and melt-in-your-mouth. From The Joy of Cooking. Let me know if you want the recipe, and I'll post it.

My kitchen smells amazing right now - I'm making cranberry sauce and dressing for out Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. Us Canadians are nice and early for Thanksgiving, which I really like. And we ahve some fun company coming, so it promises to be a fun weekend.
We went out for lunch today, and they were out of iced tea. WHAT? Since a drink was included, I got a glass of root beer. I really can't remember the last time I had pop. (Or soda, for you American friends.) The point of my story is that I felt Baby #2 moving around, absolutely, definitely after all of that sugar. It was lovely.

  1. Aren't the chestnuts beautiful. We picked a bunch on a walk last week to decorate our nature table. The kids were so amazed to find something so lovely and shiny inside those prickly cases.

    Lots to be thankful for this year with those little kicks inside. Happy Thanksgiving!
