Having fun with my beloved smoker, experimenting with making two kinds of #fishmousse - #salmon and #trout . Turned out pretty well, if I may say so. Damn, this nesting thing is strong within me today. I really should be drawing... #smokedfish #salmonmousse #troutmousse #holidaypigout #aburök #abusmoker #warmsmokedfish #procrastinating #shouldbeworking #goodfoodI think my favorite part of this #holidaywreath is the #cardoon #seedheads. So soft and fluffy! Or maybe the little #gnomes ... Hard to decide. Every year, I say I’m going to do something about that ugly screen door, and yet.... it’s still there. If this #nestinginstinct holds steady, maybe next year... 🤞🤞 #wreath #foliagefeast #domherrar #uglyscreendoor #christmas2019I don’t normally get around to this decorating thing until way later in the game, but this year is different. I wanted it to be done early, because a few days from now, kid number 1 who left us to move to 🇸🇪 is coming back for #christmas . We’re all excited - he’s been missed!! 😃 #christmastree #christmasdecor #decoratingforchristmas #lotsoflights #caturday #lotsofgnomes #christmasgoat #kidcominghome#teasel #seedheads make are fun to include in #holidaywreaths . Those #curlicues are so old world - they remind me of turn-of-the-century ice skates.How’s this for an adorable #cookiejar ? We made her acquaintance yesterday, at our friends’ @mariatdinocencio house. Thanks again for wonderful traditions with wonderful friends! 🥰🍁🦃😊❤️🍁Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. We’re off to celebrate with good friends, which makes it very easy on us, with minimal cooking. Cooked up a #tablearrangement instead. Many thanks to kind neighbors for providing the berries. #fallarrangement #thanksgiving
