Coffee anyone ?

Love the braid!!
I made sky high chocolate mousse pie.
MIL does the rest.

Pretty braided crust! I just successfully made, for the 2nd time, my own home made pie crust. I'm getting better at this! Maybe someday I'll get fancy like @RollingAcres

Thank you ladies! The braid was easy. You make the crust then use the leftover dough to make the braid. Then just put the braids on top.
Good job Bay!

Love the braid!!

I saw that, I went
Glad it is (presumably) easier than it looks. Sure is fancy.

Been so long since I have been to a Texas BBQ!

I would have to check the state statues but I am PRETTY sure there is no law about making Texas BBQ in Alaska!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Did you use some of that lard from your hogs to make the crusts? I understand land makes the crust extra flaky and tasty.

Yes I did! And made a chocolate meringue pie today. It is cooling in the refrigerator. We ate at 2:00 and are so full! Can’t wait for the pie to cool and set!

That is a Cornish Cross that we raised. We still have half left, join us for leftovers!

Coffee is ready.

Ah....a new or unfamiliar term...

TOP DEFINITION
froufrou
Garish/overly ornate as in bedroom furniture totally buried in frills, throw pillows and stuffed animals. Frilly ornamentation for women's clothing, or men's tuxedo shirts.
One look at all the froufrou furniture in that house, and I couldn't breath. No man could possibly live there.

Just the 3 human us this year so it will be a small feast. DS planned it with DH and said they are cooking. I'll take care of dessert.

Smoked turkey breast (purchased from a smokehouse)
Mashed taters with gravy
Stuffing
Maple glazed carrots
Corn
Pumpkin pie and cookies

I made the pie dough a couple of days ago. Tonight I will make the pumpkin pie. I might add a pecan pie as well.

I started a new holiday this year, since payday was fragged Today is Baking Friday Everyone got stiffed for goodies since we'd run out of funds, so I dragged Gramps to the store at 9 am for dessert fixins. To distribute among family and neighbors on the First Annual Baking Friday: three punkin pies, one apple lattice, one blueberry lattice, was going to make a pecan pie and had a cardiac arrest when I saw how much they wanted for the pecans *gulp!* so I added fixins for a FOURTH punkin pie and a sweet potato pie for later. Also, the man wants me to make him some muffins. TIMEOUT! I'm going on BYH!

Tonight I made shrimp Alfredo NOTfettucini, imitation fettuccine that looked a lot like macaroni. My homemade sauce got inside the macaroni instead of rolling off the fettuccine. I think I’ll use macaroni from now on!

Now for that pumpkin pie!

Been doing basically the same thing lately but with rotini. **evil, sauce-gobbling laugh** Oh, they WILL gain 10 lbs this year...
