My warmest wishes that you are surrounded by happiness…whether that relates to family, friends, football, or a comfy horizontal surface after dinner.

Thanksgivukkah
Do you prefer those potatoes mashed or shredded? Lotta or latke? Traditions of family, food and thanks not merging again for tens of thousands of years. I am so incredibly lucky to have my funny, smart, loyal family. And, of course, we love our food. Fabulous, fantastic food. Hope you and yours enjoy too!
A Geek’s Thanksgiving
Our five senses are incomplete without the sixth…a sense of humor. – Anonymous
I ate some pie.
Happy Harvest
Sugar is in season (isn’t it always?). I used the edible confetti from Ink4Cakes (http://www.ink4cakes.com/Confetti-Colored-Edible-Papers_c_57.html) to make the straw, hay, and corn silks. Love the texture it gives!
First Book
This is an organization whose cause I can “wrap my hands around”; my small contribution was cookies for their latest fundraiser. First Book gets new books to children in need. The local Buffalo advisory board has worked with school districts and partnered with businesses and community programs to do just that. It earned a 4 star rating (highest possible) from Charity Navigator- rating of non-profits on strength of their finances, control of administrative and fundraising expenses, and transparency of their operations.

Leaf it Be
The colors have been amazing here in Buffalo. Maple and oak and birch make for a lovely mix. The temperature is dropping now as are the leaves. Cookies in tribute to the stunning fall display courtesy of our yard (last 4 pics).
Happy Diwali 2013
Oh, the Festival of Lights! How can you help but like a theme of light over darkness, good over evil. …and the beautiful colors and patterns of India et al. More on those patterns next year. Forgive my crude interpretation of Lord Ganesh. Hope you enjoy them, Seema!
