I'm not really into blogs and frankly, I don't get all the hoopla. There are tons of people who belong to another community I frequent and they are all blog-crazy. So many of them have LiveJournals and upon meeting someone, they'll ask if you have a LiveJournal account.
I do have a journal, but it's in a notebook and it's not stuff that I ever share with anyone. To put my private thoughts online for all the world (or the selected few that I grant access) to read seems odd.
Seems like most people grant access to friends/family. If I'm mad at Friend A, I certainly can't blog about it because she would most certainly read it. I guess that's the part I don't understand.
Soup: roasted corn, butternut squash and anasazi bean chowder, with grilled oyster mushroom relish
Salad: baby spinach and winter greens with thin sliced Fuji apples, shaved fennel, red cabbage, a pomegranate-ginger vinaigrette, and toasted almonds
Entrees: Roasted Sweet Sumpling Squash or Wild Mushroom "Wellington"
I had the squash: roasted and filled with - chestnut cornbread stuffing, smoked tempeh (OMG this was good), root vegetable and shelling bean ragout, then topped with sherried parsnip cream
He had the Wellington - marinated seitan, portobello & shiitake mushrooms, topped with a custard of truffled Yukon Gold potato, wrapped and baked in a crisp yuba skin (the stuff "yellow bird" is madefrom - part of tofu making I believe), and topped with porcini mushroom gravy.
The sides that came with both entrees: maple pecan roasted yams - oh yum.... chunks of yam, roasted in maple something or other, with bits of pecan too
cranberry-Satsuma mandarin relish - what can I say? YUM!!! cranberries, mandarin oranges, walnuts....
Dessert: Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with pomegranate reduction
The other choice was a chocolate pecan torta, but they ran out before DH got his piece... so they raided the fridge and brought him a pumpkin creme brulee
