Here lies the proof that my pie making skills are not limited to a single homemade pie crust. For Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend I made two pumpkin pies including crust from scratch (just keeping it real - all the dirty dishes were not photographed :).
My mother drove up Island and spent two nights with us for Thanksgiving Weekend and we had a very nice visit. Lots of lovely things were on the menu: turkey, corn, salad, homemade stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes with bacon cheese and chives, gravy and of course hot buttered rum and pumpkin pie for desert.
We watched some good movies (Avengers and Sherlock Holmes II) and managed two visits to the ocean this weekend including spotting eagles, seals, and starfish and picking shells. It was a great weekend.
September budget results will be posted tommorrow. Cheers!
that pumpkin pie looks yummy.

Thanks - and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadian!
DeleteCan we start a new tradition in your country where you all get to shoot (or have someone do it for you) two geese and then eat them? It's the time of year here where we are overrun with them. We are avid eagle spotters too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!!!
Yes, sometimes the geese get to be a nuisance but I still love them. Here they tend to hang out in farmers fields and by the ocean so are not as much as a bother. Thanks!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Impressive pie! Nice scenery too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Next year a request has been made for blackberry pie at thanksgiving (hubby) so this might be the last pumpkin for a while.
DeleteThat is one beautiful and very impressive pie!! It looks like you had a really happy Thanksgiving weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt was really nice - the first time in nine years that I have been able to spend Thanksgiving with my Mother. Thanks!
DeleteGreat photos! Thanks for sharing. Oh, and I love the little figure in the center of your pie!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I used a mini Christmas cookie cutter and left over dough for the figure. Fortunately the pumpkin was thick enough so it didn't sink.
DeleteThose pies look delicious.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely family Thanksgiving. Just perfect.
Love your photos from the beach.
What type of eagles are they?
I'd be in that canoe, if I was there.
