Anything to go for a ride, even if its to Salvation Army/Goodwill! Sorry Kashmir, but I don't get a tax deduction for you.
So with the extra time on my hands, I made rice krispie treats with pumpkin spice marshmallows topped with caramel flavored candy corn. Yummy, but wow!, even I thought it was sugar overkill!! There is a definite pumpkin taste to it all.
AND, for the first time EVER, me and the hubby hosted Thanksgiving dinner, complete with a 10 lb. turkey and all! He had the genius notion of using our Showtime Rotisserie grill to make the Turkey. I was doubtful as we had not used in the grill in at least 4 years and how can it cook the Turkey in 2.5 hours when I remember it always taking like 9 hours for my mom in the oven?!! Miracles of miracles, it was the prettiest (damn! I wish I taken pics of it before he carved it as seen on the front plate next to the mashed potatoes) sight, smelled delicious and was absolutely scrumptious! Great job honey!! We definitely had a cornucopia of food including: green bean and sweet potato casserole, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes (thanks for the contribution!), macN'Havariti with dill (thanks for the contribution!), Mom's yeast rolls, apple coleslaw, cream cheese veggie pizza, pig n' blanket, and cream cheese with cranberry relish. Would you believe there were items that I held back on making?! My family did look at me as if I was a little nuts when I was still baking pumpkin tarts/pie two days after...but my sister had done such a beautiful job with the pie shells, that I could not let it go to waste!!! To be sure, she was also sent home with at least a half-dozen pumpkin pie tarts!
We also had an almost entire dessert bar! I made ambrosia salad, orange crush pound cake and then contributions included key lime pie (from true key limes!), pecan with Ghiradelli chocolate chips pie, pumpkin pie and some leftover red velvet cupcakes!
