News You Can Bruise for 2006 December 6

Dan's 20th Century Abandonware has lots of nice photos and screenshots.

When the Thanksgiving leftovers start to run out it's time for Backup Thanksgiving. In recent years I made Backup Thanksgiving because I was learning to cook, or because of the absence of certain foods from the official Thanksgiving table. This year I made it because it's just good food.

This year Backup Thanksgiving was roast chicken, orange-cranberry sauce, dressing, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, and Parker House rolls. So delicious. But now Sumana's sick of the leftovers and I'm almost done reincorporating them. I made stock from the chicken carcasses and bread pudding from the cranberry sauce. Now I have to start thinking about what to make instead of just pulling stuff out of the fridge.

PS: The first six chapters of the REST book are now done!
