picture-6.png a great big happy birthday to you, mom.  i hope you have an amazing and fun filled day.  we will soon celebrate with an afternoon of indian buffet, thrifting, flea marketing and then wrap it up with an evening movie at the farm.  thanks for always being loving and supportive, making me laugh, embracing and participating in my eclectic interests and adventures, teaching me that everyday is unique and special and a new day.  my list of thanks (to you and dad) is endless...but, biggest and best of all, thanks for being you.  i hope your birthday is grand and special in all the ways you wish.  at the end of the day i hope you get a few quiet snuggled down moments for yourself. you're the best. i love you....jame

pie1.jpgpie2.jpg happy thanksgiving...and yes or NO to pecan pie :O)

i wish you all a restful, warm, full-belly thanksgiving with family, friends and loved ones.  i'm very happy and thankful that i just woke up from a nap, sleep has been a bit on the back burner lately.  i am a bit giddy to have a couple days away from the studio.  chris and i are hanging out at the ranch (chris' folks place) with his folks and his brother, brian.  pat and i each made a ton of food and after we finished eating it looked liked we didn't even make a dent.  good by me....leftovers are my favorite part.  it's always better the second time around. yay for tomorrow!!!

a big huge hug and thank you for your support over the years for being so supportive, inquisitive, and inspiring.  i am truly grateful for your loyalty.

happy thanksgiving to you all............

p.s.--pie #1 tasted like crap and i thru it away!!

p.s.s.--pie #2 was much better, but my pecan pie skills still have a lot to be desired.  my pecan pie doesn't hold a flame next to pat's or gaga's.  more practice to come.....your probably thinking how hard can a pecan pie be??? well, one year i tried using a wheat crust.  that one really sucked...you say crust, i say hockey puck!!!  this year i made it vegan, but it wasn't the non-egg factor that messed it up. my first recipe called for molasses and chocolate chips.  i wouldn't recommend that recipe again.  that's pretty much all i could taste in that pie. AND, the second pecan pie had a really delicious pecan pie caramel-like flavor, "flax eggs" and all, but the crust on the bottom had disentegrated.  so, i would happily take some pecan pie tips, anyone, anyone, bueller!!!!
