 Good morning,

This is Chef Catherine, aka our daughter Catherine, who prepared a fantastic Thanksgiving meal.

Home Made Cranberry Sauce

 Good morning,

I just love the aromas of holiday cooking.  

There is no such thing as canned cranberry sauce in this house.  In the image are two pounds of cranberries as they are just coming to a boil in a cup of water.  I let them simmer until they break open, then add a cup of sugar and a splash of lemon juice.  I turn off the heat so the sugar doesn't burn and stir until it is dissolved.  

As soon as it's cool enough, I pour into smaller containers and refrigerate.  I use several smaller containers so I can pull out just a few servings at a time.  

Home made cranberry sauce is so easy and so delicious!

I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  

Oh, yes, it's Black Friday!  Stop by our Etsy shop, Evensens Productions, for truly unique gifts. For 10% off on orders of $50 or more, use code 1224TY10 at checkout. 

All the very best,

Lois

My Assistant Wendy

 Good morning,

My pups don't let us out of their sight if they can help it.

This is one of my main assistants, Wendy, beside my computer chair.  She's always ready to help with any doggie cookies that might fall out of my pocket.

A Quiet Evening at Home

 Good morning,

A quiet, peaceful, comfortable evening at home is so wonderful.

Here's our Wendy, enjoying a dog's life here in the Evensen Household.

Being at home with the dogs is so much nicer than going out.  I guess that's a sign of age, isn't it....

All the best,

Lois

Work in Process - Beautiful Browns Afghan Blanket

 Good morning,

I'm working on another Beautiful Browns Afghan Blanket for the shop. 

Afghan Blanket season is in full swing and I can't make them fast enough.  That is a wonderful problem to have.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois

Elsa makes cold winter nights very comfy.
