Dude, I LOVE turkey. But most people have no idea how to properly roast one and end up overcooking it to the point where it’s sawdust dry. Love the day-of bird, and the yummy leftovers that come with it: Turkey tikka masala, turkey birria, turkey tetrazzini, turkey pho, and more.

This has been, to say the least, a brutal week. So today, I have engaged in intensive cooking therapy, the main product of which is this glorious samosa pie: a tender turmeric-infused hot water crust filled with lamb, potatoes, peas, and loads of lovely spices. Now, all I need is the Birds to win.

I think we could all learn from an 83-year-old who’s still playing three-hour shows and still bringing the house down. Sir Paul was next level; I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to see him.

We’re in Pittsburgh tonight to see Paul McCartney, and setting aside his utter magnificence, just wanted to call out his horn section, who are absolutely KILLING it.

We had Friendsgiving at our house today. 20 of us together, and but for snapping a few pics (the two below are pies I baked for our dessert), not a single person looked at their phone even once. It was lovely. I hope everyone’s day was just as peaceful.

Our VRBO host this weekend sent us a box of donuts from the Fractured Prune this morning (AND THEY WERE STILL WARM). “Sand” still the end-all, beat-all donut of all time.

Devo is playing Oceans Calling this year, and my 23-year-old stepdaughter has no idea who they are. So I told her Mark Mothersbaugh conceived the kids’ show Yo Gabba Gabba and wrote all the music for Rugrats. Now she’s totally on board.
