ah, the blessed day of good eats!

Hey, y'all (I say this because my SON has taken "y'all" and made it a regular part of his speech!!):

Here's the story of stories for me and mine for this year:

Last night, i managed to bake a sweet potato pie (first time), a cornbread and my cranberry sauce. Ah, sweet victory. I was so pleased when I went to bed, knowing that most of the major stuff was taken care of (my mom has turkey duty). So...bright and early, as always, Jakob announces that he's hungry, so I suggest to him that he has some cornbread. An hour or so later, I go into the kitchen to check on everything and to take my pie out so i could make the topping, when much to my surprise, there was a GYNORMOUS scoop MISSING from my pie! Yes, folks, my son apparently likes sweet potato pie. So much so that he went back for SECONDS! After my initial freakout, I realised that really, this is Thanksgiving. And haven't we all been tempted by a yummy pie sitting unattended at one time or another?

Sigh...to be six again. What joy!

Happy turkey day, everyone! Happy eating!
