Happy Friday!

I hope you all had a very lovely Thanksgiving. I could have eaten half a gallon of the cranberry salad (recipe courtesy of my second grade teacher), but unfortunately, I was not the only one in the family with this plan, so instead, I ate half a pumpkin roll filled with cream cheese and sugar. Now I want more...

Salsa Staff Trivia

What was the best thing you ate over the Thanksgiving holiday?

Jesse, Project Manager: Roasted goat. Lots of pepper and some salt. That's how Kenyans do it.

Sam, Project Manager: Cats! Wait, no. Either a death-by-chocolate dessert, which is not easily described outside of "chocolatey," or else a beet, onion, and potato side dish someone made that was really great.

Yonathan, Developer Extraordinaire: Hmm... can't quite decide... I'd have to say the pumpkin pie.
