Eat.

Let the eating season begin.

Office potluck today.

I am making that dish of deliciousness known as the Pioneer Woman's Apple Dumplings.

Seriously, people. Have you tried those?

They are heaven in a bowl. Heaven. In. A. Bowl.

How can you go wrong with a recipe that calls for two sticks of butter.

Yes, you read that right. TWO.

I blogged about them when I made them the first time.

Want to read it? It's also known as "the post where I attempt to convince the Captain that since the recipe has apples in it, then it must be healthy."

OK, I'm moving on to something else other than the dumplings.

I am also counting down the days until my Mom's dressing.

Yes, I will talk about that every day for the rest of this week. I love it that much. I will knock family members down to get my share - and theirs too - of this stuff. Back off, people.

And I have a big bird in my frig.

And 15 boxes of cream cheese.

(I'm petitioning the government to establish cream cheese as a stand alone food group in the food pyramid.)

'Tis the season.

And just so I can talk about something other than food in this post, I will let you know I have purchased some Christmas gifts.

Be amazed.
