We weren’t able to celebrate with the Moyle Clan this year so we brought some of The Moyle Thanksgiving to Madison.
Jeff got some recipes from the amazing Chef Daad and we attempted to do them justice the night before.
Yet another video… (more…)
My dog training is working! I successfully taught Gehry his first new command, “Lay down.” He kinda learned “Sit” right away, cause he was naturally sitting down when he was waiting for a treat anyway, just in that cute “I’m a puppy waiting for my treat” kind of way, so I don’t count that.
I’ve been working on “lay down” for a couple weeks now. I’d tell him to sit while holding up a treat, then tell him to lay down. In order for him to lay down I had to hold his back half down and put the treat on the floor in front of him so he had to lay down to get it. This didn’t seem to be getting any easier for him, and he’s always so hyper and impatient, so I didn’t think he was really learning it, but today he suddenly started doing it on his own! Such a smart puppy! I’m such a proud puppy mommy now! Its like watching a child grow!

Had lunch with some old friends today who are back in Madison for Thanksgiving. Specifically I had the “Thanksgiving Special” slice at the always fabulous Ian’s Pizza.
Layer of crust.
Layer of turkey gravy.
Layer of mashed potatoes.
Layer of roasted turkey and dressing.
Delicious.
Tonite, Danna and I attempt to tackle our first pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and brown-sugar bourbon cream.
Wish us luck. We will document it for posterity.
A couple of Pacific Northwesterners are calling us out on a puppy cute-off.
Gehry vs. Nollie.
Bring it.
We have had a fair amount of inquiry into why Gehry is not G-A-R-Y so I thought we would clarify that our daring little fireball is named after Frank Gehry, one of my favorite architects and designers.
The Minnesota and Illinois sections of our audience are probably a little more familiar with the name since he designed Minneapolis’ Weismann Art Museum and Chicago’s BP Bridge in Millenium Park
For further investigation, I would recommend the quick wiki rundown or a rental of the wonderful Sketches of Frank Gehry.
5:00 to 5:30 AM
Wakes up for potty break in the kennel next to the bed. Danna and I alternate on who takes him out, though I think I owe her a couple. Down to potty and back up into the crate within a couple minutes, then back to bed for the next 30-60 minutes.
