happy CANADIAN gobble gobble


sitting here feeling QUITE stuffed from mom's turkey dinner....
thought I would pass a few moments on the good ole PC........

My mom cooked a fabulous meal as always!,
and I just get to show up with my hubby, all my kids, a couple bottles of wine and some vodka, what more is there to be thankful for :o)

so tonight's menu had; meatballs, sweet and sour meatballs, cabbage rolls, coleslaw, snow peas, carrots, mashed potatoes, stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, TURKEY, all the little pickly hor d'ourves and pie!
BUT NOT PUMPKIN!!!

my mom made a peach pie which was awesome...
a concorde grape pie, which was also (surprisingly) awesome...
and an apple pie, which was ok.....

BUT NO PUMPKIN PIE ON THANKS GIVING
WHAT WAS SHE THINKING!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have to make ANOTHER thanksgiving dinner, because it just feels like I ate a big meal.
I've come to realize that I need the pumpkin pie for it to feel like a true thanksgiving dinner. Am I crazy?

Don't get me wrong I am totally thankful to my mom for dinner tonight,
it was totally fabulous.....
but I have to admit I'm left feeling a little wanting.
I don't even love pumpkin pie that much, like take it out of context eating it in May or something and I probably wouldn't even touch it,
but I never thought I would miss it as much as I did tonight.

Launa,
I'm the same with pumpkin pie, but it has to be OCTOBER no waiting until thanksgiving for me... I've been eating the squash dessert regularily for 3 weeks now. Its like Thanksgiving is the end of pumpkin pie for me...
