Hits and Misses (Part Deux) -or- Turkey Lurkey Musings

Hope you all had a fabulous T-U-R-K-E-Y (M-O-U-S-E) day....Is this like the 4th of July for "Istanbul was Constantinople" (better ask They Might Be Giants). Hmmm, I'm seriously OFF topic. As our evening winds down, I just wanted to make a few notes in my online journal/web log/blog/etc... Just a little free-write to clear the cobwebs, you know?

Nice things about this year's celebration?
There were some great firsts.

• Holden's first Thanksgiving - obviously. And I did not get one picture... which is sad, because I actually did my hair AND put on make up, so you can only imagine I must've looked like a way hot mom -- especially the way I was muffin-topping in my Ann Taylor jeans. But this is about Holden (not me) - and he looked darling, and spent most of the festivities napping. Total HIT! (Minus the muffin-topping of course - that was a total Miss.)

• My first attempt at Pumpkin Pie...and I mean real pumpkin, from scratch. I used an organic pumpkin from the Nelson farm (the lady who taught me to make apple pie this fall); and I have to say I don't think I ever need to do that again (the organic part- sure, the pumpkin pie - not so much). Check it off the list. So Hit - Miss? Um, wash.)

• Cherry Pie - Miss. This one had the same fate as the banana cream from Sunday's festivities: looked like a total mess, but tasted fine. Though my coconut cream was a total HIT: DEEEEEE-LISH!) Not to be confused with the Groove is in the Heart - DeeLite.
  

So I'm kind of pie'd out (aren't you after my last two posts?)... But on the flip side, at least I've found something else to blog about besides breastmilk and attachment parenting.
