| Thanksgiving prep continues. I pretty much slept the day away and got up around 130. Andy had already baked 2 pumpkin cheesecake pies. I got moving and went to bake my pie. I reached for the can of blueberries and discovered....drum roll... they were blackberries. Hubby was at the grocery store and I asked him to pick up blueberries. Guess what? No blueberries. So... we're having blackberry pie. Gotta improvise. I remember when the boys were little and Marie Callendars was still in business I would go down a day early and wait in line (usually anywhere between 30-60 minutes) for pies. Oh, I'd stock up. Growing up, Thanksgiving was about PIE for me and so when the boys were little I went a little wild on the pies. We had apple crumb pie, chocolate satin pie, key lime pie, pecan pie, cherry pie, blueberry pie, german chocolate pie. I'd spend between $50 to $70 just on pies. Well, Marie Callenders went out of business in my area around 2019 and so, since then, Andy and I bake our own pies. At 430 pm PST I left to go to work for my overtime shift from 630 to 1030 and then I work my regular shift until 6 am. It's nice to have the holiday money. Gotta pay for Christmas. I'll sleep all morning while the husband and Andy does some last minute cleaning. At noon, I'm going to get up and start making the charcuterie board. I can't wait. I'm a sucker for a good charcuterie. Anyhoo... The inlaws are supposed to come at 2 but my MIL will come at 1 because she's like that. I'm going to watch football all day and catch upon my sports while the vapid in-laws visit with each other. When it's time for turkey I go for the wings.  If you eat turkey, what's your favorite part?   |
