Well, with Chris home sick last weekend, our plans got slightly modified. We were supposed to have a Pre-Thanksgiving meal with my Dad, because it looked like Lisa would be leaving this week to get home to her hubs, only she hadn't gotten a car yet, so the plans changed to stay through Thanksgiving weekend. (Hooray! ) So we met at my Dad's. My stepmom makes a wonderful Thanksgiving spread. However...when I got there with Sam (we left Chris at home with Daddy), I learned it was Turkey Pie night! My Favorite ! My stepmom is a wonderful cook, absolutely amazing. Her Thanksgiving foods are legendary, but for me, it's one of my favorites is when she takes the Thanksgiving leftovers and makes a turkey pie. Picture it: Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, peas, all in a homemade pie crust, smothered in gravy, and next to a side of butternut squash. It's a perfect bite every time! As soon as I tasted it, I couldn't help but think, THIS is a every pregnant woman's happy craving. I didn't know, so I didn't take a picture this time, but I have snapped some in the past. I think Eric may have married me because of this pie. Shortly after we began dating, my stepmom sent me back to college with an entire turkey pie just for us. I heated it up for us, and I'm pretty sure Eric fell in love with me right there. Not because he thought I made it, he knew the truth, but maybe he fell in love with me, because I Shared.
Anyway, turkey pie night is one of my favorites, I thought we'd be doing that next weekend maybe, so it was a very happy bonus to be getting it Before Thanksgiving. Turns out MB had been cooking one ingredient at a time all week. She did a whole Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving too. But it was Turkey pie night for us. Oh Happy Night.
And the kids were cute playing too...for a bit.
It didn't last, it rarely does. But for some time, they were sweet. I cherish the sweet times.
