it’s all taking way longer than i thought it would.  even though the rolls were mixed up, i had to shape them all.  then the pies…i thought it’d be quick, a breeze, but they weren’t.  not only is the whole rolling of the crust challenging, but then there’s the actual baking…i baked two pumpkin pies together and half of the top of the crust of each is burnt.  at least there are many, many pies and maybe none of the others will burn.  i did the whole foil around the edge thing, but to no avail.  the problem is that i bought some crust edge covers but then couldn’t get them to fit on the pie correctly, so part of them burned.

the giant low-sugar pumpkin pie is in the oven now.  i have mixed up the chocolate pecan pie.  the turkey goes in the oven at 1:30, so there won’t be time to bake the pecan pie upstairs, which means i’ll get a good workout, racing up and down the basement stairs checking on that pie.  at least we have another oven in the basement!  and then i have to figure out the timing of the rolls…i keep thinking i need to go help amy with her 1600 tons of food, but i haven’t even had time to sit down til just now.

the pumpkin scones were delicious.  if you were here i’d give you two.

what if we were eating dinner at one?  i bet some people are already finished with their thanksgiving meals.

i should have baked some of the pies yesterday.

ok, back to it,
