I've finally emerged from the whirlwind of cleaning, cooking and company that goes along with Thanksgiving. We're talking (this is one day's cooking) 4 sweet potato pies, 4 pecan pies, 2 blueberry pies, 2 turkeys brined, one ham, chicken salad.... followed by a full breakfast cooked on two mornings. As you can imagine, I've hung up my apron for a few days.....

You made all those pies in one day!!! Next time we're coming to your house :-)
Did I tell you that Jack looks awesome? You did a wonderful job with his portrait.
Wow, what a feast! Think I'm coming to your house next year! ;•)
Well deserved award, Ms. T!
And thanks for sending it my way! I'm honored!
Loved reading this, Teresa! Felt I got to know you a little better!
Wow, your Thanksgiving feast sounds wonderful - the preparation must have taken ages no wonder you are having a rest from cooking - enjoyed reading your list, too:)
Great post, Teresa! Nice getting to know you better. I see we share the same fear of heights. I can't even get on a ladder without freaking out. Ironically, I was going to name you (and Laure!) for the award, but saw you'd already been named!
And I got Laurel with mine. Thanks T. You didn't tell about all the 2 day cleaning marathon you did before the cooking one. I would have died doing that much. Sure bet your house smelled nice and yummy for days. Sounds like you will have a lot of company next year. I bet it won't be as quiet at your parents house with all the company.
My Goodness .... how many were you cooking for???
Whilst you were slaving away over a hot stove, we were at our holiday home in the Canaries as hubby (David) had a birthday on 27th and we like to celebrate it somewhere warm and sunny (where I don't have to do so much cooking and cleaning) :o)
Aren't you glad that Thanksgiving is over? It's my favorite holiday but it's a lot of work at the same time.
Thanks so much for the award, I'm putting it up as soon as I leave here!
Sounds like a lot of work. I like the pie cooking part. My favorite kind of desert and wouldn't you know my favorite would be the Blueberry Pie.
Really liked what you did with Jack. Great personality.
A very fun, well-deserved award!
