November 2007 Archives

Thanksgiving this year was with my sister and family. We arrived late Wednesday afternoon. That evening, I was presented with the task of making two pie crusts while Diane made the fillings for an apple pie and a pumpkin pie. The pies were a nice dessert for our Thanksgiving feast on Thursday and did not linger long in the leftover category.

Glenn and Shirley joined us for Thanksgiving. The following day we were invited for another excellent meal with Jeff and Sue. A whirlwind trip, but a great time.

It has been six or seven weeks since the last "Home renovation" post. Things have been moving at a lackadaisical pace. We were waiting for the painters who finally came a couple weeks ago to prime and paint. We are pleased with Karen's color selection. The front door is going to be replaced and painted red, that should be a nice combination.

Waiting behind the painters was the landscapers' hydro-seeding. It got too late in the season. For now, they just threw down some seed and will make the real attempt in the spring. I guess I could have Photoshop'd in some greenery, not that that gives the neighbors and passers-by any benefit.

Garrison Keillor proclaims: the best pumpkin pie you ever have had is not all that much better than the worst. I don't know, I am fond of pumpkin pie. Surprised myself when I checked this entry into the blog and discover that it is the first representative here.

This pie was snapped with a newly acquired accessory, a 0.7 wide angle adapter.

It has been a while since I last posted. The following should have appeared at Halloween. No relation to today's featured pie.
