Rotten Turkey and So Forth

Thanksgiving was lovely. JM was in town and we had a big get together. We did have a problem with the turkey though. Somebody (won't mention any names, you know who you are...) left the turkey in a sink full of water to defrost...for 3 days. So when we unwrapped it, the smell was not too pleasant. After determining that the turkey really was quite dead, we opted for chicken and a small turkey breast (NOT frozen).

Here's some Thanksgiving pics:

That's just cute

The Cooks


This is why we don't let Stephan cook.


In the absence of a rolling pin, use a cucumber!



Moving on from Thanksgiving...

...here is a picture of the very first advent candle nature decoration thingy I have ever made. With help from Morten's mom and sister.


Yesterday was my first day of work. I shall summarize the experience thus: after attending an orientation meeting that consisted almost entirely of listing all of the astounding (and unexpected) perks involved in working there, I was then escorted to my department where everyone was very sweet, and waiting for me on my desk were a bouquet of flowers and a box of cookies. So yeah, I like my job. A lot.



And finally, Morten and the hair dryer.
