And a fun trip shopping for last minute Thanksgiving food with Rosie, we were ready to start the cooking!
The first task was making the pumpkin pie last night. Since I live in NZ now, there was DEFINITELY NO canned pumpkin, so we did what any good Kiwi would do--used a real pumpkin. I have NEVER made pumpkin pie from scratch, but it was so fun! And the batter tasted so yum! Here is Rosie cutting the pumpkin to puree it for the pie.
The pie's going in!
I also was VERY proud to teach my sister in law how to make pumpkin seeds! They have NEVER done that!! I also loved teasing my mother in law that they let a part of the pumpkin go to waste. To which she was quick to tell me that they don't really because they give the seeds to the chickens :) Rosie and I had so much fun doing it, but HATED cleaning the seeds...
Our finished products!!!
Sam and I woke up early Saturday morning and had a meeting with the couple from the wedding we are doing next week. It was so fun to meet them (it is one of Sam's best friends in the world) and SO fun to work with my husband. We make a great team and LOVE being together in this new adventure! I was SO proud of him and so proud to be married to him.
We then went to my crazy migraine lady I used to go to here in NZ. I had a HORRIFIC migraine and some weird back pain and felt really sick. She got me all sorted and Sam got to see how cool she is and how uninvasive the process is, yet works like a charm. So now I am all set for Thanksgiving!!!
My mother law had made the stuffing and the basting before I returned so we watched her finish that and then began the rest of the cooking. We have made an apple pie that I found on the food network and will be putting the turkey on shortly (we are trying to BBQ it) I wanted to post a few pictures though so you can be a part of my day :) Oh and mom I am wearing your new dress you got me at Khols...you might not be here but it makes it feel like you and dad are here!
Talk to you soon!!!
