For me Thanksgiving is all about being grateful and, of course, the turkey, but for the rest of my family I think it might be all about the pies. I also love soup so this season has both.
I do love the make pies. Last week I was even given the delightful opportunity to help bilingual kindergarten children make pumpkin pies. There were two tables, right next to each other with one being the pie crust table and the other being for making the filling. It was a lot of fun and the teacher, who is also my next door neighbor, brought over some of the leftover pie for me and Sweetie. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo...or a taste. Sweetie thought that it was all for him and ate it up while my neighbor and I were having tea in another room. He said it was good!
I also made a pumpkin pie for us and we finished it off this weekend with one of our grandsons and his girlfriend. They stayed overnight on their way to be with his mom for Thanksgiving. It was such a delight to meet his girl and to get to visit with them. We finished the pumpkin pie...and still no photos!
I did get a photo of the clam chowder I made last week (see top of post), but there isn't a recipe. I promise that soon I'll have a 'normal' post with both a photo and the recipe, but it's been that kind of week plus.
Tomorrow we celebrate Thanksgiving with Straight Shooter, up from San Francisco. There will be turkey, of course, but also more pumpkin pie. Maybe this time I can get a photo.
Have a great Thursday dear reader. If you're an American or live in the U.S., I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I give thanks for you all, even the 'lurkers'.
