Saturday, after Thanksgiving. We are finally getting back to what passes for normal here. I was right to be worried about the turkey. We have no, none, nada, zippo leftovers of turkey. I have enough rolls and cranberry to make lots and lots of the turkey sandwiches I love so much. Rolls, cranberry sauce, mayo, and no turkey. I was right about the turkey, but I was wrong about something else. Pies. I told everyone to bring a pie, and I bought two. Most families brought two or more desserts, including one very impressive looking toffee spice cake, and a huge tray of some amazing thing called 'Pumpkin Brownies'. There was no chocolate in them. It was a layer of spiced pumpkin custard over a layer of butter cake. Oh Man! So good. Well the end result of this was that even with some people bring some of their desserts home, we are loaded with leftover desserts. No turkey, and six pies. I love apple pie and coffee for breakfast more than anything, but this morning I looked at the beautiful bounty of pies and I said,
"I think I will have eggs and toast for breakfast." I pretty much never say that, but I had so much sugar yesterday, I couldn't even think about pie for breakfast.
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I will be doing the minimum amount of writing I have to do to keep my job, and all of my time and attention will be on the quilt I will be making for my niece for Christmas. I should have had it done a really long time ago. I will try to keep up on my blog, but I will be sewing, and not doing much else. Lot's of pizzas for my family for dinner.
What will be taking up your time over the next few weeks?
