Thistle be fun

Today's lunch will be a roasted capon with stuffing and sweet potatoes. Like a mini Thanksgiving. We got and froze the bird around Christmas time and, with a combination of sale prices and frequent shopper points, it was essentially free. So today it will become Ken's birthday lunch.

Last season's thistles, dry and brown.

I'm planning to make one of Ken's favorite desserts: a pear-almond tart. I'd better get busy!

    Strangely enough, pear and almond tarts are also my favorites.
