The day before Thanksgiving brings a flurry of activity to our kitchen. Today I made our three traditional pies, sweet potato, pumpkin and apple, and also our decadent Thanksgiving mashed potatoes with butter, cream cheese and sour cream blended in. (Thank goodness we only eat this once a year!) This is sweet girl's favorite Thanksgiving dish and she can't wait to get home from college to have some. Next on the list was preparing the hot crab dip for our lunch tomorrow. Our youngest began this tradition and it wouldn't be Thanksgiving for her without it. We sit down for dinner, with all of our traditional favorites, in the evening. Following dinner, we watch "Miracle on 34th Street", with a scheduled intermission to feast on holiday pies. Speaking of pies, I have a confession to make. I ate a slice of the sweet potato pie already. It's my mom's recipe and it's just so yummy.
I wish you all a wonderful day tomorrow surrounded by the ones you love. We have so much to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving!
