so today is turkey day...
last night there was a Great Peeling of Chestnuts for the marvelous chestnut stuffing, and we fortified ourselved with bloody marys.
my head hurts just a teeny bit this bright morning.
Somehow we managed not to screw up the pecan pie. (I must have been in a hurry; I wasn't paying any attention to the recipe and managed to put all the ingredients in the bowl (eggs, vanilla, pecans, corn syrup (yik), salt, flour, etc.) before I read the rest of the recipe, where it says to do something special and of course put the eggs and vanilla in last, blah, blah, blah. Anne will appreciate that I did this, as that's how she's been baking chocolate chip cookies for years--- just toss everything in the bowl at once, and stir it up.)
Eileen's pumpkin pie looked mighty fine, and now I starving. better find some breakfast before we head back over to where the turkey is.
