I am still not convinced that the Thanksgiving meal is the best eats of the pre-Christmas season. I think I continue to land in the camp of black Friday Leftovers....OK, that sounds awful in that advertising context. Let's just call it - leftovers. There actually is a little of this cherry pie left, for example......a couple of people might enjoy a slice before the pan is "...put to other uses." (yes, that's a SCAMPER skill! )
And yes I did assemble this pie, although I have to admit it is not a "from scratch" endeavor - I did whip the egg whites to brush on the top to get that crispy, golden glow...the rest is truly assembled! Delicious, nonetheless!
Did you watch the dog show that followed the parade on Thursday? (I just have to catch a little of the New York parade to make the day officially Thanksgiving, although I did switch the channel to see what was going on in Chicago. Do you remember when several cities had parades and you would play "dial a channel" to catch glimpses of them all???)
Anyway, I was very hopeful that the spaniel above would win the show...A striking look for a well-groomed canine and very bright-eyed as handler responsive. I was disappointed when the greyhound was announced as the winner.
I think this hound has nailed my sentiments regarding the announced winner - "Bah, humbug!" Combined with the fact that they ran commercials during the presentation of the dalmatian, it was not a stellar dog show year in my book. Of course I might feel differently if I had spend much time actually watching it...I was mostly preparing food........which brings me back to the delightful leftovers we will enjoy for today's evening meal.
I hope your day-after-Thanksgiving is filled with the people, activities and things that you enjoy! Let the merriment begin and the flakes fall (yep, I mean snowflakes!) Some Minnesotans are looking forward to to wonderful sonwmobiling season this year!
