I had goals for this year's Thanksgiving.
- Roast a...chicken.
- Make Brussels sprouts with bacon because I was thwarted from trying it last holiday season.
- Make flan.
He had bought too much basil, so I decided to try my hand at making pesto. I liked this recipe from the Barefoot Contessa, but put my own spin on it. Half of the basil I replaced with spinach and arugula. My other twist was using half the Parmesan from the recipe and replacing the other half with Pecorino. It gave the sauce a great depth of flavor.
With all this pesto, I was inspired to try to recreate the eggs de parma dish from Alcove. Only problem - I didn't have proscuitto or goat cheese, so I improvised. I made Parmesan toasts topped with poached eggs and pest
The streets were pretty quiet, which was nice. They're always quiet here
at that time: you have to be wearing a black jacket to be out on the
streets between seven and nine in the evening, and not many people in the
area have black jackets. It's just one of those things. I currently live
in Colour Neighbourhood, which is for people who are heavily into colour.
All the streets and buildings are set for instant colourmatch: as you
walk down the road they change hue to offset whatever you're wearing.
When the streets are busy it's kind of intense, and anyone prone to
epileptic seizures isn't allowed to live in the Neighbourhood, however
much they're into colour.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of Perl 5.11.2.
This is the third DEVELOPMENT release in the 5.11.x series leading to a stable release of Perl 5.12.0. You can find a list of high-profile changes in this release in the file "perl5112delta.pod" inside the distribution.
You can download the 5.11.2 release from:
http://search.cpan.org/~lbrocard/perl-5.11.2/
The release's SHA1 signatures are:
2988906609ab7eb00453615e420e47ec410e0077 perl-5.11.2.tar.gz
We welcome your feedback on this release. If you discover issues with Perl 5.11.2, please use the 'perlbug' tool included in this distribution to report them. If Perl 5.11.2 works well for you, please use the 'perlthanks' tool included with this distribution to tell the all-volunteer development team how much you appreciate their work.
If you write software in Perl, it is particularly important that you test your software against development releases. While we strive to maintain source compatibility with prior stable versions of Perl wherever possible, it is always possible that a well-intentioned change can have unexpected consequences. If you spot a change in a development version which breaks your code, it's much more likely that we will be able to fix it before the next stable release. If you only test your code against stable releases of Perl, it may not be possible to undo a backwards-incompatible change which breaks your code.
Notable changes in this release:
- It is now possible to overload the C operator
- Extension modules can now cleanly hook into the Perl parser to define new kinds of keyword-headed expression and compound statement
- The lowest layers of the lexer and parts of the pad system now have C APIs available to XS extensions
- Use of C<:=> to mean an empty attribute list is now deprecated

Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for helping Perl to flourish.
Jesse Vincent or a delegate will release Perl 5.11.3 on December 20, 2009. Ricardo Signes will release Perl 5.11.4 on January 20, 2010. Steve Hay will release Perl 5.11.5 on February 20, 2010.

First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

The rest of the table indulged in robust red wines, but reds don't sit well with me. Instead I decided to celebrate with a sparkling Riesling.
It was a table of cheese lovers (well most of us) so of course we got the large cheese plate: Buche du Cremier, hand ladeled goat; Truffle Tremor, aged goat; Taleggio, soft ripened cow; Tomme du Levezou, firm aged sheep; Fourme d' Ambert, cow's blue; accompanied with Marshall Farms local wildflower honey, membrillo, almonds, assorted fruits and Acme bread. My favorite was the tallegio.
There was a beet salad on the menu, but it was different from the beet salads I've gotten in the past. The beets were shaved paper thin and they were crunchy, perhaps pickled. Definitely not the soft beet texture I'm used to.
He got a pizza, the one with meat on it.
As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.
The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.
When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.
It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.
Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.
As always, thanks for your patience.
