Husband and I have had good pirate garb for a while now, but it’s time for a change. Husband is going for something in the earth mage vicinity, and I’m going for something druidish. I already have a couple of pieces of clothing I can use for garb, but bought a new hat and earrings.

We’re having a small Thanksgiving here, so eating at the kitchen table rather than the dining room (which is full of puzzles and LEGOs). Table is cleaned and clothed, and serving plates, bowl, and utensils laid out.

I have a new recipe for make-ahead mashed potatoes that involves the stand mixer instead of a ricer or masher. Here’s the first part – peeling, boiling, and drying the potatoes.
