Thanksgiving Break

As of 3:45 this afternoon, I have been on Thanksgiving break, but I haven't gone home yet. I am waiting for my friend (who lives in the same town I do) to get out of class and we are driving home together. Originally I was going to go home tomorrow afternoon sometime, but I really wanted to go home earlier.

This trip should be fun. My friend and I have never done this before. I can't wait till she gets out of class.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

PIES!

For Thanksgiving this year, I am making pumpkin pies. Last weekend I tried a gingersnap crust but I didn't like the way that it turned out; a little too soggy. I was thinking about making another one with a different recipe. I don't know if I am going to do that or if I am going to just make a plain pie crust.

Delicious Food

Food at thanksgiving is so delicious. I love the turkey, the mashed potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie and all the other desserts that come along with Thanksgiving dinner. I was looking for recipes for pumpkin pie (I have been wanting to make one for a while), and I came across a website that has a few recipes. They all seem so good and I want to try some of them. The no bake turkey cookies seem like a fun treat to have after a Thanksgiving dinner. I would love to try some of these out and refresh my cooking skills. I haven't cooked since before I came to school, unless I was cooking pasta or the microwave.

I took a cooking class in high school. I loved it and it was so much fun. After we made it, we would eat it and give some of the leftovers to the teacher of our choice (that was my favorite part). I always liked to see what others outside of the class thought about the food that we worked so hard on. It always felt good when the teacher said that it was delicious.

I can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner, not only for the food but also to see my family.
