"I want some pie too!" - Bailey
Thor & I could not make it home for Thanksgiving so we decided to have a few friends over for the big day that also could not get home to their families! This meant that I needed to cook quite the meal and when I asked Thor what he wanted the first thing that came out of his mouth was "Pumpkin Pie".
We put together quite the dinner list....Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, beans & bacon, salad, rolls, cherry pie & pumpkin pie. The best part.....Thor actually came to the grocery store with me and helped get everything checked off of our list! It is almost as good as having groceries delivered when you have your wonderful husband to carry them in for you! :)
BTW...Sugar, Cloves & Cinnamon (above) - yummy!!
Anyways...I decided to bake everything the night before. Note to myself...get a rolling pin! Apparantly I forgot to ask for one of those when we got married...so here I was using a water bottle to roll out my pie crusts. Thor came in a bit confused and frustrated wondering why I was getting his water bottle dirty, to which I replied " then buy me a rolling pin" :)The pies turned out great! Bailey of course got to lick the cherry spatula - he is totally like my own little child!
Yesterday all of the guys tasted them & the verdict was that I had succeeded. I even made whipped cream from scratch via my dad's recipe! Yummy!
Here's the pies before I baked them...of course by the time I got them out of the oven it was late and I was too tired to take any more pics!
And last but not least....if you take anything away from this blog entry..take this...

-Sprinkle on cinnamon & sugar

We are so thankful for all of our friends & family! We are so sorry that we could not be there with you during this special day...we miss you!
