DahliaBanker -- 900 Turkey pies!!! Wow! I'd love your recipe, if you have time to send it to me. If not, don't worry about it.
Shirley - Sorry to hear y'all had a rough Summer. Please let us know what the MRI shows. I had a Herniated Disc a couple years ago. I did not have the surgery & chose Physical Therapy instead. I'm glad that I did that, but still do the exercises at home & when I slack off... I start feeling pain or sciatica, again. I also try to do them before & after I take a long drive or fly, and when I do... I am perfectly fine. Also, before and after a period of time that I know that I will be just sitting... (I need to do them, today!)
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Was able to Fast without even drinking water... that was my first time to do it without water. (Fast was due to religious reasons... started the evening before at 6:30 and didn't break fast until 8pm)
What would I have done differently? Not binged on peanuts at Rockfish Restaurant while waiting for my meal after breaking fast.
What is today's personal goal? stick to food plan which will be difficult due to going to a funeral and afterwards there will be lots of food. And, also a long period without eating...
Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...) = Quaker Real Medleys Apple Nut Harvest Multigrain Fruit & Nut Bar - 160 calories. I like these!

Linda, did you want the recipe for 900 pies or just the basic recipe for 1 turkey pie? I wouldn't have a clue for the 900, I've never had to purchase the supplies! I think they used around 150 lbs of turkey. It's all done from scratch. It's just a turkey and gravy filling in a double crust pie shell. We do have the bakery make the dough for us now. I helped make the dough years ago, by hand, but too much work. Their commercial equipment makes more sense! I just make the gravy but tried to roll dough one year but not good at it or fast enough. Others were better! It's fascinating to watch them roll all that dough. I went back to gravy making and have done that ever since! Lol. I mixed slurry for gravy....over and over again......for about 6 hours. We made 3 different sizes. I think 5", 6", and 10" pies. We then freeze them then sell them at our bazaar in Nov. We stopped selling them for a couple of years a few years back because of the hard work but people really missed them so we brought them back! It's quite a production!0 -
