I've had a good day for getting ready...made the best of a rainy day. The mess you see pictured on the kitchen counter is what was needed to make pie crusts for the pies that I will make tomorrow. The second picture is of the pie dough discs that are resting in the refrigerator "developing the gluten." I have the kitchen all cleaned up and have everything out to make the pumpkin pie tomorrow. I plan to make a pecan and an apple pie also...at least pumpkin and pecan...we'll see about the apple! I also made Autumn Salad, a gelatin salad. I had all the cooking finished before noon...then I did a few cleaning chores. I have managed to mark off everything from my list that I was to do today and did all but one of the things that I hadn't finished yesterday. Abigail's dress still hasn't been touched. I even managed to get in a nap. I was especially happy with the mail today...first I got a Thanksgiving card from friends who formerly lived in Tullahoma. They decided to send out Thanksgiving cards rather than Christmas cards...or as she said Valentine's cards, since she often missed the Christmas deadline and sent their cards out after Christmas. The other thing that I was really glad to see arrive in the mail was the meat thermometer probe for my oven. Mine broke the last time I used it. So I had ordered so I would be sure to have it by Thanksgiving, but it had been delayed and I had been told that it wouldn't arrive till next week, so very glad to find it in my mailbox today. And, the oven recognized it when I plugged it in so hopefully it is good to help me out on Thanksgiving to let me know when Mr. Turkey is finished! I am all set up to make the pumpkin pie in the morning. Picture to follow. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! 'Tis the season!
