esemeWe've had out holiday meal. I'm very thankful for my parents and my family.
Thanksgiving this year is just the three of us, so we didn't have tons of food (other than a small issue with pies). We had venison tenderloin wrapped in bacon, pork tenderloin, smashed potatoes with a mixture of white potatoes and sweet potatoes (yummy!), and a coleslaw made from beets and kohlrabi.
Mom had made a strawberry rhubarb with raspberries pie (the raspberries add a real kick to the traditional pie). We had some last night, as I would be making pumpkin pie. We figured starting Thanksgiving with half a pie would be fine, as there would also be pumpkin. Well, the pumpkin pie recipe I had made enough filing for a ten inch pie... and then some. Mom found a nine inch pie pan, and we filled that. So we ended up with 2.5 pies at the start of Thanksgiving.
An excess of pie is not really a bad thing.
The food was good, no one overate, and now I suffer through the traditional afternoon of football. I plan to get a lot of knitting an writing done.
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful holiday!
