Happy Thanksgiving
Two things to celebrate today, Thanksgiving (a celebreation about a jacked up event I know, but it does bring family together for a little bit, so that's good) and the first snow of the year (in Chicago, that actually took to the ground a bit)! I do love snow. There may infact be a comic about first snow falls on Monday, one never really knows. Today I get to do a Thanksgiving dinner with my sister, her partner, my Aunt, and my dad, and perhaps others. It should be fun. I made sugar cookies for it.
There's a reason I normally wasn't allowed to bake as a child, and I don't think it had anything to do with the oven being hot. More than likely it had to do with my rather strange imagination, and my lack of patience with baking.
My mom's side of the family bakes a lot, it's what they're really good at, but I've always tended to lean more towards the cooking than the baking. To me the cooking felt like more of an art form. You're able to more easily veer off the defined recipie and find something new, or something that better matches you tastes at the time. With baking I've found that hard, it's more of a chemical process that you're forced to stay within. I guess the art side of it comes from the presentation, and the more subtle changes to the recipie.
Well I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving, and todays comic, part 4 of 5. I'm off to eat breakfast.
