Back to Work

By the time this post is live, I will be back at work.

It's sunday now. I'm writing to you, IN THE FUTURE.

The good news is- Art Basel Miami is this week, so I'm only going to be around for 3 (incredible hectic) days before I head down there for the festivities.

Anyway, here's an outline:

Books 2010 #13 BIKE SNOB Systematically & Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling

Yes, I read BIKE SNOB Systematically & Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling . I mean, of course I read it.

It was a while ago now, but that's the nature of these reviews this year. I'm way behind.

Turkey 2010: The Reckoning (Best Turkey I've Ever Made)

I know you've been waiting patiently for the results of my Thanksgiving Turkey this year.

WAIT NO LONGER.

Your Host For the Afternoon

That's my turkey cookin' shirt.

It's Cooking. Yes

It's Just Resting

Wine Interlude


I supply the food and some wine. Other people augment the wine with bottles like this.

A fair trade.

Carved


Moist and delicious turkey. MY TURKEY IS MOIST AND DELICIOUS. (Yes, I'm e-Yelling)

All Done


I actually had some leftovers, but the thing was pretty well decimated by the end of the afternoon.

Until next year….
