    I can't believe how many pies you all have! How many people are you catering for?!

    I usually have four pies and 2-3 other desserts at a big holiday meal.

    In the true spirit of Thanksgiving, I ate way too much for lunch and topped it off with 2 cookies.

    I didn't want to feel left out....

    Seems reasonable!

    I am sooooooooooooo excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow. All the yummy foooooooood. Stuffing and gravy is my favorite part.

    Stuffing and gravy are my least favorite part. But now I want pie!

    I can take or leave most of the Thanksgiving foods, but stuffing is definitely my favorite!

    My least favorite Thanksgiving food is definitely my grandmother's pumpkin pie. I think she basically just takes a can of pumpkin & doesn't put any spices in. I remember one year fighting with my sister on who had to take the pie home. I ended up crushing the pie after I tripped climbing out of the suburban & falling on top of it.

    Was that deliberate? :p

    I ate a bunch of grasshopper cookies today but I really didn't need but I really wanted. They were really good. Now I feel better that I get to tell you LOL

    Explain grasshopper cookies, please.

    Yes, this please.

    I'm guessing they are minty cookies. A grasshopper cocktail is minty.

    I'm guessing they are the cookies like oreos and the filling is green?

    Well I thought I was going to just make apple and pumpkin pies this year but ended up with enough piecrust to make another pie, so I made a pecan pie.
    I boiled my beets today but after supper noticed that they weren't quite done so I set the stove on high fully intending to turn them down. I got distracted with mom and you guessed it. Worse I did not notice it until they were little black charcoal balls in the pan. Seriously crispy black on the outside with tiny soft red spots in the center.
    How could such a great baking day be so sadly ended!
    This week does seem to have a theme of fire.

    If you had to burn something the beets were probably the best thing to burn. :)

    Six at my house and then I will take my dad a small piece of chocolate pie tomorrow. My mom used to make it and no one else in my family ever paid much attention to how it's done. But remember that the average age of my boys is 16. They can out away some pie.

    We had seven pies and a pumpkin cheesecake dessert thing - for 13 people! It was crazy.

    6-15 depending on who comes. But its about variety at a holiday. Things that you would not just make for no reason, like pies.

    I've been on daily fragmin injections to avoid DVT since my op. One of the side effects is easily bruising and they weren't lying! I have bruises appearing yesterday in places that happened before the op, like from the blood test in my arm. And the backs of both hands, which were fine for a week, have now turned purple. Plus my belly is going polka dot. I'm pretty attractive! The first few injections were fine, but now the sting like hell! Thankfully it's my last one today. Yet another pregnancy joy they never warn you about in advance!

    What is DVT? I guess the walls of the veins were compromised already so blood leaked through the damaged area? Is fragmin a blood thinner?

    Deep vein thrombosis. It's a risk if surgery, so I have blood thinner injections for ten days and compression stockings for six weeks. It's so glamorous!!

    It sounds frightening. I'm glad this is your last dose.

    I remember the compression stockings from baby No.1. I wondered if you wore them again.

    I get it. I felt guilty when I stopped the two hours in the gym after two hours at the Barre after walking all over campus all day.
    And you are welcome. I want you to succeed.
