Thanksgiving was P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!
It started with the weather; warm and sunny. We had the doors open! (The horses, wearing their lovely winter coats, were not quite as happy, however. They came in with 'sweat swirls' over most of their bodies.)
Everyone had a hand in preparing for the meal.
Even Tucker wanted 'in' on the action!
New recipes (and new ways of viewing them) were employed.
Cookbooks are so passe!

The morning after.....
What do you suppose Tucker is thinking?
Tucker is thinking, "Okay, I see the leftovers. Where's the eggnog?"
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time with family, friends, and a great feast. Your pies are beautiful!

Looks delicious and perfect!! Tucker wants to crawl and the fridge and eat his fill!!
ReplyDeleteTucker's looking for the pies, obviously!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't mention my favorite part -- you dumped the caramel syrup sauce over the lattice work instead of before the lattice work, which gave it a lot of extra shine and crispiness on the crust. So yummy!
Hummm.....I wonder what I can eat in there....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, That is what I would be thinking.
