*This title won’t make sense unless you are familiar with a certain commercial run in Hawaii in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Points to anyone that can place it (no points to Kara though – I already know you know.)
So I made my first pie today. Actually, I made two. (I am pretty much a pro now.) I was most intimidated by the crust. Not really sure what was so scary about it, but I was convinced it was going to be the hardest part. I guess you could say I was right, but only because the rest of the pies were so easy to make. So it was a little scary and I wasn’t sure I did it right but I am really quite pleased with how it turned out. Want to see?
I am kind of in love with it. So I made two pies, a pumpkin and an apple. The end result didn’t look perfect by any means but they sure tasted yummy.
The other fun thing I got to do on Thanksgiving was wear this super cool turkey headband:
Jealous?
So my thanksgiving was great. Lots of family and good food. If nothing else however, my day of pie making opened up a whole new world of cooking that I hadn’t yet explored. For that I thank you Thanksgiving.
What? No scrapbooking pictures?
Remember the year we thanksgivinged together? Ahhh. Bliss. Happy day to you and your family.
Awesome head-things.
What?!…your Dad wasn’t wearing a turkey headband too?!
Grateful we are family! Love ya!
Those headbands are almost as darling as the women wearing them!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Pies look yummy!
Too cute!!!
We all loved the turkey bands here this morning when I was browsing through bloglines, thank you for showing us!
totally jealous. The pies look beautiful! Nice work.
I AM jealous of those turkey bands. So cute! And welcome to the world of pie making. We pie makers like people to think they are hard and finicky so that we’ll get lots of credit when we make them. Yours look great! Happy Thanksgiving.
haha, those turkey headbands are so cute!! and your pies looks great.
I am here to testify the pies tasted as good as they looked! Fabulous job! And you can borrow my models anytime.
It really was a great day.
Hello my friend, great pies. I am impressed. I also did some cooking this year for I was alone and alone. My favorite dish? Garlic mashed potatoes. Miss and love you.
I just have to tell you those same commercials have been playing again this season. You should come visit to relive your childhood memories!
your guys are so darn adorable! Love the headbands. and great pies, mmmm love pumpkin pie. I just might steal the very last piece from the one in my fridge tonight!
Your pies look great! I like your festive headbands. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and while I spent quite a bit of time knitting, there were no crafts.
I just LOVE this photo of you all!
SO cute!
Napoleon’s Bakery!!! Your pies look WAY better than Napoleaon’s, though. Fun headbands–and significantly more durable than the construction paper/glue stick creations my kids come home with each year =).
Three things ….
I SO knew it was Napoleans Bakery.
Your pies were di-vine.
I want a turkey headband!
They might not look perfect to you, but they look pretty awesome to me! As do the turkey headresses!
Congratulations on your pies! It looks like you have so much fun together at your family gatherings!!
Did you make the turkey headbands? So totally cool.
Oh, well done you! I love the turkey headbands as well!
i’m sorry…but um, why wasn’t i invited to consume some pie?
muy impressed.
muy.
Your first pies look waaaaayyyy better than my first pie. That crust was an absolute mess!
Ahhh Napoleon’s Bakery! Whoa, that was a blast from the past. Those pies *do* look too good for those spies, by the way.
