Two o'These and Two o'These: Love and Leftovers



Oh, man, it's Thanksgiving Day and so far the rain is holding off. Stilettto City is at its best right after a rain and on a holiday -- crisp blue sky, soft air, no screaming collisions of crazed Beamers out on Shmlaurel Canyon. Plot and Duck got up early this morning and Ducknik began to roll out the pie crusts she had made and chilled the night before. Plot chopped pecans and peeled and sliced apples. The pecans got mixed with eggs and Karo and the apples with cinnamon and sugar, and a few other secret ingredients of course, and then each pie took its own spot in the oven.

Meanwhile, back East PD, 5H, BB and BZWZ are having Thanksgiving together with BZ's old friend Charlie's family, so they'll be together, while here in Stiletto City many Plotnikkies will assemble, including Cousin Seattle and Cousin Two Names (carrying Cousin Three Names) and Cousin Big EG and Cousin Mother Two Names and Cousin Brother Two Names and Nefnik and Fefnik and, of course, Mummy P and Little Bear and Shmeckl Plotnik and Cousin Roger (Staubach). At last count, 29 people are expected.

What's it all about, Plottie? Love. And leftovers.

I baked a pecan pie yesterday, but yours looks oh so much better. Happy Thanksgiving!

I have such a soft spot for pecan pie. It doesn't even bother with the pretense of healthy fruit.

29 people? That's a lot of drumsticks! Hopefully nobody brings up politics or religion or the BCS.

I didn't get a chance to tell Barb, but the apple pie was probably the best I've ever had. I wish I had room to have more than a few bites! It was great to see you guys tonight, and I can't wait to see you in a couple weeks up your way!
