A foggy morning on the plains
I’ve been traveling, working, and not even sure what day it is. Lots has gotten done, and yet I feel like nothing is getting done.
Planning on a quiet Thanksgiving week, filled with writing if I can.

A few Thanksgiving recipes, with a link at the bottom for all the recipes available for your holiday feast.
As always, the bird will be spatchcocked again and grilled on the pellet grill. Here are the steps – roast it in the oven or on the grill:
This is the only way I’ve been preparing turkey since my first attempt. The only thing I change up from the first time I prepared it, is that I skip the metal rack and instead I place the bird on a bed of carrots, celery, and onion. I’ll also add some spices and herbs: sage, thyme, rosemary, and garlic cloves to the bed. With the shorter cooking time, the flavor needs the boost that the roasting veggies add.
Sometimes I roast it in the oven, but if the weather is nice enough, I’ll roast it on the wood pellet grill. I like the pellet grill because I can control the temperature as I would in the oven.
Scout turned eight years old this week. I got out her old scarf and the brown bear to recreate the photo from her first day with us.
I love fall. We have very few reds here, unlike the East Coast, but the Aspens do their best to help us forget that. I’m not complaining, My wildflower front yard has some spectacular fall into winter colors that hang out until spring.
This week went well. I’m traveling again, so I made an effort to do some substantial writing over the weekend before I left. Where I felt like Act One needed all the main characters fleshed out more, Act Two is more about storytelling transitions.
