A few random things from the coop...

I picked up this stunning scale at a flea market a few weeks ago with every intention of selling it.  Somehow I just can't part with this beautiful thing.  The perfect shade of green, the beautiful detail and the vintage coolness all added up to a fine addition to my kitchen counter.

My sister is hosting Thanksgiving this year and asked me to make the yams.  I have never made yams before and I have an aversion to the sweet yams with marshmallows all over them.  I am intrigued by the idea of combining the sweetness of yams with something savory or spicy.  Here is the recipe I've decided to make.

Chipotle Garnet Yams
I found the recipe on all recipes.com

 Below are some really cute vintage Thanksgiving greetings.  Don't be mad, but I cannot remember where I found these!  Just enjoy...

There is this wonderful girl I know who decided to take up the cookbook challenge posted about here. She just happens to be my daughter and just happens to have a cooking blog called A Duck's Oven.  Go.  Read it now...
