Thanksgiving prep

The day before Thanksgiving was devoted entirely to getting food ready, listening to great music and having tons of fun.

We did not hesitate to snitch while worked. Cook's privilege right?

There was a lot of peeling to do right Timo?

And also a lot of pie to make. I upped my record of second most pies I have made in one day. The most is still held by the day before Thanksgiving 2009.

The turkey sat and observed while defrosting and being kept company by the lamb chops that were for supper.

We also made bread,

And Sarah made two of the best pecan pies I have ever had.

By Thursday morning all of the family that was coming had arrived and the party began in earnest.

Emily and Sarah combined techniques and cooked up two fine turkeys.

Eight of the pies.

This picture reminds me of the painting of the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

Unfortunately the camera was having fits and this was the last picture we got of the day, but keep an eye on Emily's blog because I think she got some.
