OK, so I know there are a lot of pictures, but there are so many more and I couldn't decide which ones I wanted so I just put a lot.


This one is Charlotte and all the ingredients that go into the stuffing that my friend Robin chopped up for me.

Theses are the pumpkin pies that Robin made from a actual pumpkin. So I called my mom at 6am on a Sunday morning about these pumpkin pies. Robin and I were getting worried because they had been in the oven for over an hour and they still were really soupie in the middle but they turned out great. Sorry mom about that early wake up call but it really was a pumpkin pie emergency. lol



This is turkey #1, not to be confused with turkey #2. Turkey #2 was chopped down the middle.





This is turkey #2 all finished. I also called my mom a few more times after the pumpkin incident to get more instructions on cooking 2 turkeys at one time in a small french over. The result was that I ended up taking out the bottom rack and rested the actual pan on the floor of the oven and putting the second bird on the middle shelf and rotating each turkeys every half hour. I also put the birds in at 1 pm thinking they would be done by 3pm but they weren't. They were cut and ready to eat by 5pm.
