Whew, I am beat. I volunteered to make pumpkin pie for Jay's Kindergarten's Thanksgiving meal. Meaning I have to feed 60+ kids, 10 teachers, 2 administrators and a couple of other staff! Since the Kindergarten is bilingual, they are doing Thanksgiving to bring the English speaking culture in as well. I'm sure if there was a big English holiday it would be celebrated too.
Anyway, on top of the pies, I discovered that my turkey was already thawed- three days too soon! What to do? Well, roast it.... and buy a new one since we don't celebrate until Saturday. I went to three supermarkets looking for a big enough turkey (remember it's goose season here, not turkey). I finally found a 4.4 kilo (9.5 lbs) bird, although I really needed a 6 kilo (13 lbs) one to feed all 12 of us.
So I was busy all day making pie crust, pie fillings, roasting the turkey, and even making homemade pizza for dinner! (Why not turkey?) The kids watched a ton of TV and were pretty understanding. So today is a play with mama day- I've finished just about everything on my agenda for today while they were in school. So happy Thanksgiving!
