Gobble gobble

Yesterday I made a javaher polow using this recipe:

...with the addition of a potato tahdigh on the bottom of the pot. Also no
onions, cranberries instead of barberries, and the zest of a lemon instead
of the two oranges. It was super tasty; next time I will use less sugar,
more carrots, and sub sticky eggplant for the onions.

P made two kinds of bread dough, and while it was rising we went to an
early thanksgiving dinner at C’s. Her mother in law was there, as well as a
nice couple from D’s work. Everything was delicious— I had a wee bit of
carrot halwa, roasted vegetables, cranberry relish, and the rice, followed
by some of the apple pie/crumble I made yesterday.

I thought I had targeted quantities well, but spent the rest of the day
pretty fragile. P baked the bread for toast, then went to R’s for
hugesgiving. I stayed in bed and watched she-ra and darned socks.

Had some trouble getting to sleep, nursing a headache and loud brain and
reflux. Probably slept after ten; P got home at some point and gave some
sleepy conversation before passing out again.

Worth it.
