on wednesday i created this email card to send out to all my friends and family. i’ve been so busy recently that i didn’t have time (weeks ago) to make a real card. (i’m still working on my “i’ve moved cards” although i’ve been here for a month!)
anyways, i whipped together this quick image and send to everyone.
i wanted a scared turkey with serene pilgrims in the background. but of course they’re holding an axe so you know what’s going to happen.
by the way one of my favorite things about thanksgiving is that the president, of the united states, pardons, that’s right pardons, two turkeys! hahaha what ridiculousness!?!?! i was joking this morning with my bf that what we don’t see is the handlers bringing the turkeys around the back of the white house for the white house chefs to kill and cook for the white house thanksgiving dinner. gee gads!
second accomplishment is, i think, more significant. i made my grandmother’s pecan pie. what!?! i made my mom’s pie dough (though a little short to make a fancy finish) and my grandmother’s pecan filling. i even got the pecan topping right. it looked so good coming out of the oven that i wanted to dig right in! i couldn’t wait to dig into it on thanksgiving! it’s definitely something that i will be proud to pass onto my children. look how fabulous!
doesn't it look great?!? i’ll share the recipe later.
then on thanksgiving, i did the miraculous... i made a juicy thanksgiving turkey! we used this recipe. it was so easy! pop in the oven. take out at halftime and glaze and then glaze every 30 minutes until the cooking time was over. easy-peazy. didn't it also turn out just lovely?!?
hope you had a happy thanksgiving too!
