It is the day before Thanksgiving, the day to make pies.
With all that is going on in the world, I hope that everyone can find something for which to be thankful. Tonight I am thankful that my mother’s kitchen remodel got finished so we could come here and I could make pie with her.
It’s the first night of Hannukah, so we lit our menorah.
It’s also the day before Thanksgiving, so we made pies.
There’s a pumpkin and an apple. The kids helped quite a bit with the apple pie this year. It was nice to be in the kitchen with three generations making pie. Now I must sleep so I can help with the rest of the cooking tomorrow!
You’ll never guess what I did all day.
Pie. Turkey, stuffing, and gravy too (those are the parts I helped most with) but we didn’t get any pictures of the meal other than the pie! Whoops.
Things I am thankful for in no particular order:
I hope everyone had an equally delicious Thanksgiving!
I did a few things today that I feel are noteworthy. (And yes, we’re going to ignore that I missed yet another day yesterday. Shh.)
I knit on my double-knit cowl that I have, apparently, be working on for three years.
I’m on round 33 out of 67. At this rate, I will be done by 2014. Go me!
I baked an apple pie (not pictured), a pecan pie, and a pumpkin pie.
I also baked cracked wheat rolls which were delicious but did not photograph well.
On tap for tomorrow: more cooking! (In case it wasn’t obvious.)
I worked on my seam a bit today but I'm having trouble getting it to look like the other side where I picked up stitches. I have an idea for what to try next but I need to get the kids to bed before I can try it.
Instead I made pie.
The pumpkin on the left got a little dark as you can see, but the maple walnut pie on the right is gorgeous. I hope it tastes as good as it looks. We'll find out tomorrow!
