The pork roast just before it went into the smoker. It smelled so wonderful when it was done smoking. I won't know until tomorrow if it tastes as good as it smells. And after using the smoker, I got it all cleaned up for winter storage.
The cherry pie. I am so looking forward to having some of this pie. Cherry pie is one of my favorites. I still have the pumpkin pie to bake. I'll do that first ting in the morning. I prefer a freshly-baked pumpkin pie over one baked a day or two early. I don't like a soggy bottom crust.
I also have to roast the chicken. It's rubbed all over with an herb butter and waiting in the fridge to roast tomorrow. And I'll make a gravy with the drippings afterward. The rest of the meal will be cooking preassembled casseroles or reheating menu items that are fully cooked. It looks like I'm almost done with the prep. I hope all of your holiday work is about done now, too.
Wishing you all a lovely and festive Thanksgiving!
Ooh, yummy. I wish you the happiest of days.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kris. Wishing you a wonderful long weekend with your whole family at home.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOur anticipated visit to see our daughter, SIL, and grandson last less than 24 hours. We got the call that my husband's mother passed away so we spent the night and came right back home. We did get some good cuddles and love in the 20 hours we were there but drive home Thanksgiving not even attending the lunch put on by our SIL's parents. We are thankful her journey of dementia is now over and she has gone to heaven to live.
Prayers for you and your family, Alice. Glad your mother-in-law is now at peace. Dementia is tough. Hugs, Sara
DeleteHi Alice,
DeleteI'm so sorry for you, your husband and family. Your mother-in-law is in the arms of the Lord, and dementia no longer constrains her. May peace wash over your family.
My condolences. May you all feel God's peace.
