Both.
This is what I'm working on right now..hopefully, in half an hour, they'll be delicious baked apple roses.
They turned out pretty good

I just put the ricotta cheesecake in the oven. The recipe called for lemon juice, but I used orange juice and some orange zest instead. The batter tastes so good. Unfortunately I think my springform pan got bent in the move. Some of the batter was dripping out of the bottom once I put it in the oven. I put the whole thing on a cookie sheet and it looks like the dripping stopped, but now I'm afraid the bottom will burn. I probably should have done a bain marie.
The top cracked really badly. Whatever. It's going to taste amazing!
That's the only thing that counts.
The bain marie woulda helped with the cracking though.
Looks like Spidey's starting his Thanksgiving feast early.
Turkey and green bean casserole have a half hour to go. And then it's on!
I'm so glad I opted for 2 ovens when I got this place. Probably one of the easiest thanksgivings I've ever had.

The people next door are roasting a pig. I want to go crash their Thanksgiving.
I can't make any promises, but every time I do it that way, both the white meat and dark meat are so tender you barely have to cut.
So this week has been pretty tolerable, especially because my mother has been the one spending two hours making my son do four math problems that he could do without help in 15 minutes if he didn't stare into space and self harm. Maybe this will make her be more understanding when I talk about how hard school stuff is for us to deal with. Maybe.
And now I will eat food that I did not have to lift a finger to help prepare. Win!

It came out nice. My wife says I have to make it that way from now on.
There's a joke in there but I just can't.
Wife had a minor fail at math, since she doesn't believe in using a timer for things. Good thing I got up when I did.
Turkey (with a little bit of a crispy crust), dressing, mashed potatoes, yams, carrots (she had green beans), gravy, biscuits. Pumpkin pie - with peppermint whipped cream - is for a bit later.
Go Packers.

Could mean she really liked it!
Could also mean she's hoping to get out of having to cook turkey ever again...
Wine and garlic bread and cheese - oh my! Sorry I didn't take pics before we started to eat.
Just send'm straight here, no worries, they'll get finished off before you even know who ate'm
Well, it took me 2 hours to get this photo from my iPhone to my computer and then up to the cloud, but here's the spread.
Clockwise from upper-left: red wine demi-glace, Noni Afghani, mesquite smoked prime rib, Brussels sprouts with toasted pecans and a maple-balsamic vinaigrette, Moroccan spiced roasted squash, sauteed mushrooms (bookend on each side), pumpkin risotto, red wine spiced cranberry sauce. It was all delicious.

Pizza was good. Didn't have to prepare it. Had a couple salads too.
The MST3k marathon was mostly good. We watched five of the movies, but took a break at Teenagers from Outer Space, didn't feel like I missed much. They closed out with Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Turkey, Turkey soup, Stuffing, Mom' stufing which is more bland, sweet potatoes, okay biscuits, and whatever the fuck we can make out of that afterwards. THANKSGIVING MOTHER FUCKERS! Also I didn't have to follow my fucking brother in law to get a new TV, only to learn half a year later he returned the fucking thing making me wait for dessert- POINTLESS!
