Thanksgiving!

What is Thanksgiving without a turkey? We had a cute little turkey for our meal and it was delicious! I basted it with soy sauce, honey and sesame oil near the end of its roasting time. We have lots left over, even though we ate our fill!

We put one turkey breast in the freezer and we will eat the other for tomorrow night's supper!

I must admit I favour the dark meat. I do like the white meat too, but if I had a choice, I would always choose the dark. There is something about the texture that I really love! But for sandwiches, the white meat is best because it is less oily.

My mom took this photo of my raspberry pie with her iPhone. My camera was having issues... Anyway, it was more like a raspberry jam tart, but it was quite good. My husband pronounced it a tad sour, but he isn't a huge raspberry fan anyway. He did eat it though and said the crust was quite good. I have lots of filling leftover and am using it as jam for toast. Works great! You know, the crust called for 1 cup of shortening and I only used 1/4. It still worked great and the fat was greatly reduced. I did add a smidge of vinegar and baking powder to the crust, as dictated by my grandma's recipe. I think it improves the texture of the pie very much.

Well, Thanksgiving supper was great and we have leftovers to be creative with! Yay! ^_^
