Impressing your mother with your first solo Thanksgiving dinner effort and having your family all together in your first "grown-up" apartment:
Priceless!!
I know, several holidays have gone by since Thanksgiving, but what can I say, I'm waaay behind. The above concoction is a fennel and beet salad I put together as an appetizer for my Thanksgiving dinner. I tossed some fennel with a citrus vinaigrette a la Thomas Keller, and had my brother place overlapping slices of roasted beet on top. I gave him a cave-aged gorgonzola to crumble on top. Unwittingly, it turned out looking like the MasterCard logo.
As I am too lazy to post other pictures right now (and I have a lab presenation tomorrow, but have yet to start!) I will link you to my brother's blog where he has chronicled our dinner...

Grilled beets? Yum. Wait, they start out raw and then you grill them? Or grill post-cooking?
The rest is on my brother's blog. I'm so lazy about getting my pictures on my computer. Plus, most are on his camera. For christmas we made a standing rib roast and baked a buche de noel, but he has all those pictures...
Can I just say . . . WOW! When you described that squash bowl to me I'd imagined what a squash bowl *I* might attempt would look like, which was not half so spectacular. Showed the photos to the Jons who were duly impressed.
Hooray! Starchmouse returns!
