I'm always intrigued by the idea of pumpkin pie which I understand is a sweet dish. We eat pumpkin here as a savoury vegetable - its fantastic oven roasted with the skin on!<br />Have a lovely thanksgiving, without the mess to come home to!Soolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703155392258429098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707435357217423078.post-8014635911632238122013-11-27T17:04:08.982-07:002013-11-27T17:04:08.982-07:00Thanksgiving can often be thankless for the cook. ...Thanksgiving can often be thankless for the cook. I did not enjoy making the meal until my daughters were old enough to help. Then it became fun! My favorite memory was during Desert Storm, and I brought home lots of "orphan" military people from Dover AFB where I worked. It was quite the party, and they were so thankful to be in a home, unstead of the chow hall. We aren't hosting a meal this year, but going to some friends. I am making vegetables(2) and cranberry sauce to take along. Feels funny not up to my elbows in pie dough!

I never watched TV then, so I didn't know they were quoting a popular commercial.

Honestly, the meal was over in 5 minutes and the kids scattered to do whatever. Needless to say, I carefully think about meals for Thanksgiving as I do not wish to repeat that year!LynnePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946587685812988308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707435357217423078.post-89158188070380150332013-11-27T10:41:20.959-07:002013-11-27T10:41:20.959-07:00Pretty blocks!
