Thanksgiving is over, and I'm still full.

Thanksgiving is finally over, and while I have a ton of work to do (both for my job and for the Mystery Hunt), I may just take the rest of today off. Two full days of cooking plus emergency sales work and proposal-writing is enough to earn me a short break, I think.

The food was particularly good this year -- miraculously, the weather was warm enough yesterday that we were able to grill the turkey, and the Asian spice rub from the latest Gourmet was spectacular on the bird. columbina will turn most of the leftovers into gumbo, and there's no shortage of leftovers, since Whole Foods only had a 16lb. heirloom turkey available even though I'd requested one that was 10-12lbs.

( Other food notes, after the cut. )

Via Warren Ellis' blog: Ward Sutton analyzes 2008 presidential campaign logotypes and marks, in cartoon form. This is wonderful, not just because I think Sutton's analysis is dead-on, but also because he explains very clearly how different typographical and visual elements contribute to (or detract from) each candidate's brand. Recommended for political and design geeks alike.
