Manu Katché was my second choice.

The gang I love
Turkey in the brine, turkey in the pan.
Holiday cheer. Happy Thanksgiving day to you and yours if you’re celebrating this US holiday. I just put our turkey in the oven after its leisurely and customary morning soak in brine. Eleya made a beautiful batch of casseroles, side dishes, and pies. Evie is going to help her make …
The delightful dozen.
Twelve years ago today, I married my best friend, and she’s still the one around whom my world revolves. Baby, I love ya! On the roster for this evening: kids to bed, Daddy out to pick up sushi from the best Japanese place in town, yum.
