Thanksgiving was everything I was hoping it would be, and since I had been looking forward to it since FOREVER, it had a lot to live up to. I got a chance to see my family and friends, relax, and eat some amazing food. Some of the highlights:
My uncle burnt the sweet potatoes, which resulted in a hilarious two minutes of everyone panicking in the kitchen.
My dad and I made this killer chocolate pie.
I kicked everyone's butt at Apples to Apples (what what?!).
Plus, it gave me the chance to bake a pumpkin pie for the first time in my life, which I've been dreaming of for a while. It was without a doubt the best pumpkin pie I have ever tasted. This is not a joke. What made it so good? Toasted walnuts on the bottom layer, cream cheese mixed with the pumpkin, and cute leaves that I designed myself, with my dad's help. Take that Martha Stewart! Here's the recipe if you want to try it out.
And a couple of weeks ago, I got to go to San Diego to see my lovely friend Amanda who I haven't seen since Spain.
And here I am, almost done with the semester and taking care of some holiday business before I go home. It's flown by, as usual, and I can only thank God that I've gotten through it. On to make some Christmas goodies (coming soon)!
