Turkey Eyes

Our first Thanksgiving a home just the 4 of us went perfectly.

The turkey was so moist, the sides were delish and my very first pumpkin pie was so yummy. I have always made a good turkey, rubbing it down with a mixture of butter, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. The sides I'm pretty good at as well! The pie, however, I was a tad bit worried about. I got the wrong ingredient for the recipe, grabbing sweetened condense milk instead of evaporate. A very stupid move considering the recipe I was using was right on the can of Libby's Pumpkin!

Chris had warned me that he is very picky about pumpkin pie and if it doesn't turn out good he might be ruined from pumpkin pie for years! I half laughed at him but in reality, I've had a bad pumpkin pie experience myself! Back when we lived in Williams Lake, my parents made a pumpkin pie. They often baked together but this time they BOTH added the sugar in. The result was an overly sweet pie with a layer of melted sugar on top. It was horrible. Because of my ingredient mistake I was so worried we would have a sickeningly sweet pie! I decreased the amount of sugar by half hoping it would equal out.

Chris took one bite and made an awful face. My heart sank a little until I realized the Jerk was faking! He approved of my pie!

After our filling dinner and our pie, we settled down on the couch to watch Home Alone while the turkey worked it's magic.
