Perry usually makes the pies and he did not disappoint. He made three pumpkin pies, they're crustless and tasty.
"I think Perry's pies are really good, don't you?" I ask Ilana. "They're fanTASTic" comes the reply. Also a berry pie from Remlingers (not shown); mighty tasty with whipped cream.
Susanna and Alice made the chocolate cake and Susanna was mighty proud of it. Definitely a blast from the past for me. I used to make rich cakes like this back in the day. With tons of baking chocolate and butter. Used to call them Superchocs. Tasty! Big time!
Ilana opined "The bad thing about Thanksgiving leftovers is that they are gone SO SOON!" I just popped a casserole full of afore mentioned leftovers in the oven. Have more gravy than the last one because we avoided the gravy disaster of the Sunday dinner. Darn fancy ironwork on top of the stove, pan got tipped over.
Years ago, when we got together with the Garrisons when the kids were small, we used to make a TON of Thanksgiving stuff and then, all weekend, every lunch and dinner, out came the leftovers, we ate off the extra mashed potatoes, stuffing and turkey all weekend.
Yesterday's dinner; 12 people; 8 were 'kids' except the kids are 19-28 years old!
