Sat 10 Nov

Hoping that the pager continues to be mostly silent and looking forward to a quiet weekend at home. Need to plan the Thanksgiving menu and get the groceries. Need to bake something for the Newman coffee tomorrow. Need to visit Grandma. Need to do laundry. All pretty reasonable tasks. Dad wears a size 10 shoe. Making beef stew and Bryan Voltaggio's recipe for cranberry riesling compote. Good excuse for a glass of wine while cooking. Goodness gracious! Half hour later and I'm feeling the wine! Must not have eaten things that absorbed alcohol yet today. Stew and cranberry compote were both very yummy, as was the canary bread from the Amherst bakery.
