Thanksgiving 2016 is in the books. I won’t go into what I’m thankful for, as that’s something I recognize daily, and also share in my Hey, It’s Okay Tuesday posts. It’s been a good day. It’s the start of the holidays, we had a great time with family tonight, shared some laughs and made some memories. Tomorrow it’s Thanksgiving all over again as we host dinner for my in-laws.
Today I made my first pumpkin pie.
Reading directions helps! Especially when they’re printed on the top of the can. Doh!
I halved the recipe and still had too much filling. Had to Google what to do with leftover pumpkin pie filling.
Done! I hope it’s good.
I wanted to make a pie, rather than buy one. And in the morning, after I head to the grocery store for flour, I’ll make Appie Pie Bars.
We headed to my sisters this afternoon. It was nice to have several memories of my mom each Thanksgiving. The above photo is a turkey doorknob cover she crocheted. 🙂 My sister ended up with my mom’s turkey platter, that’s been a part of our Thanksgiving since my earliest memories, probably long before.
After a slight mishap with the turkeys and a small fire in the oven setting off the smoke alarm, we talked, ate, laughed and caught up with family and friends. It was great to see everyone and catch up, and nice to now be in my jammies with a glass of wine and a book as I recharge for tomorrow’s festivities.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
That pie looks tasty! And your table in the other post is lovely. I have a book about napkin folding. It’s cool that you made the lil’ hats. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!
