The best Thanksgiving food, borscht!

The best Thanksgiving food, borscht!, originally uploaded by colmmcsky.

Pardon me for a moment-

HELL YES BORSCHT! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

I'm immensely pleased with myself. Roasting short ribs gave me meat for the borscht as well as bones for making the beef stock base. I roasted several chopped beets and chopped them even further. One giant beet was chopped raw along with the potatoes. I pan fried the cabbage and onions in butter. It burbled away all yesterday and through this morning to produce this rich, crimson soup.

My dollop of sour cream makes this perfect. This will be the best part of the day.

...is it too late to go to your house for Thanksgiving?

See, this is why you should move to Austin. :D

LOL

I was trying to convince my brother to move from the middle of nowhere to out here the other day and one of his reasons against was, "How do I know you just won't up and move to Austin?"

Yum, I love borscht!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

It is happiness, and my favorite Thanksgiving tradition I've started.

That's pretty! I've never had borscht.

Never? OMG. Teleport yourself to my kitchen right away. I don't have a flight path so you need a mage portal. ;)

[fiatincantatum.livejournal.com]

You're the one with the portals!

Boy, and you'd be in demand right now... they took out all the city portals in Dalaran and Shattrath!

Portal madness! That's pretty crazy - I guess to help lag? Aww, sometimes I miss playing.

[fiatincantatum.livejournal.com]

naw, it's to cut down on too-convenient travel hubs for low level characters. Us high levels will get portals to our new end game zones, but the lowbies get to hoof it (or pay a mage)

It's kind of fun, like a whole new game, and a lot of my friends who'd fallen by the wayside have returned to play.

It's gorgeous and sounds wonderful. I love borscht!

This looks like it's straight from a magazine!
