Want to pretty-up your Thanksgiving dinner meats? 

Puff pastry!

Warning: cooked puff pastry gets extra puffy, 

so plan your design accordingly
(margin of puff error?)

Puff pastry (Trader Joe's) comes in frozen flat sheets. It's easy to work with, has that perfect flakey texture, and even tastes great alone. Here's some tips on how to use it for quickie appetizers. (My college roommate used to wrap gouda slices in Pillsbury crescent rolls, delish! Although, because I'm not a fan of working with tubed doughs I haven't been able to reproduce these treats. But now, thanks to Puff, I can relive these college cheese bites!)

Sometimes you just gotta trace you hand and glue on some feathers.

Happy Tofu day to you and yours ^^ 

Richard and I have been cooking all day (ahem, well, just Richard. I'm only allowed to clean and decorate and occasionally stir a pot under close supervision).

Update: Turkey would rather live his life frolicing with his free range friends.
If you see Turkey, tell him I miss him.
