Crow.

since I'll be in front of the tv all day tomorrow anyway, I'll try to keep busy baking bread and processing pumpkins for the freezer.
By morning I'll figure out something appropriately celebratory and labor intensive for dinner

I can't drink either because of damaged kidneys. No champagne tonight.

Haven't made it in a while.

if i do (and i will be both aggravated and sad if i do), it'll be whatever i can scrounge when i get home. if i don't, i might see about going to my dad's for (probably) roasted chicken and drinks.

All the food is inspired by swing states. The stew has corn(Iowa), tomatoes(Ohio), fake beef(Colorado), and orange(Florida). The cheddar biscuits are for Wisconsin, Virginia, and North Carolina. Apple pie for New Hampshire. There will be various alcoholic beverages to represent Nevada or at least my experiences in Vegas

Need to get to work on that soup.

Oven fried potatoes, broccoli slaw, baked beans and a dinner roll. We're just going to get comfortable and watch the votes break in waves for Obama. It's going to be a great night.

I'm glad to *see* you posting.

We came through Sandy with luck on our side. 75% of the power was out in our village and we didn't know it for days. Mr. Pup's office was without power for the whole week so he was home and we rode it out together. Yesterday's Nor'easter left us with about 4-5" of early snow and there are still green leaves on the trees! We were well stocked and well prepared--other than that just lucky, lucky, lucky!
