When the Gastropost Mission was released last week, I kind of thought something was up. Cookies in November? I thought maybe they just didn’t know that on Planet Byn and most other places, it’s all cookie everything, all day, everyday, but not until December!

The theme for our Gastropost Mission this week was FEAST which was timed to coincide with Thanksgiving weekend. This couldn’t be more perfect for me, as my Mom’s turkey dinner is my #1 favourite feast and my desert island/death row meal. I LOVE IT.
