Happy thanksgiving world.....wait make that happy thanksgiving America. So today is one of the three days each year that our pharmacy is totally closed. No worries today just sit back and chill. Well not so much I guess. There's thanksgiving service at church at ten, then the first thanksgiving feast with my wife's family at 3, then across town for another feast with my family at 6. I can feel the stuffing pushing back up already. Every year i say I'll pace myself so I can look like I'm eating a lot but still have room for the second house. Don't get me wrong I don't mind doing the two house hop but don't call it a day off.
I made pies for both houses, pumpkin and coconut cream. Rolling out the dough for the pumpkin pie crust made me feel like part of my italian heritage was coming out. My grandmothers sister and her husband lived in Trieste, italy and ran a bakery there, which I visited as a kid. Since I don't like olives, perhaps this can be my cultural connection.
The pies look pretty good, but the test will come when we actually get to dig in to them later.
Bring on the parades and football.
