It wouldn't be a real holiday without cooking mishaps


The first batch of pumpkin bread (pictured here) had no baking powder. The second batch had baking powder. Problem: the recipe calls for baking soda. Each batch makes nine miniloafs of bread. That's eighteen pumpkin flavored bricks I have laying around. Seventeen, actually, because Elijah ate one. Slowly.


The pumpkin pie, however, turned out very well, which is nice. I've never made pumpkin pie before and I felt that ruining the pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving is like burning the stuffing or something. Very not cool.

I made 3 pies for thanksgiving -- pumpkin, blueberry and apple. Then I made another pumpkin pie and a pineapple pie. I made a lot of dang pies! lol
