It was looking so perfect, too!

I was cooking two things side by side, and couldn’t get a grip on it. While contorting myself, I hit my wrist on the top of the oven, and the potholder mushed the pie. Oops!

It’ll still be tasty!

There were no issues getting the apple pie out of the oven. This is my first attempt at a from-scratch apple pie (minus the crust — I’ve tried making my own crust and it just works better with the refrigerated kind!). The top is a chopped nut / brown sugar crumb mix.

We haven’t had dessert yet. Still letting dinner settle. Lots of stuffing, mashed potatoes and of course, the Tofurky!

Odd postcard that came in my Tofurky box!

(Yes, I made two pies, and also pumpkin bars. That’s three desserts for two people. My husband isn’t much of a sweet tooth, but he’ll have a little of everything tonight, and then I’ll eat pie for days …)

The Tofurky was delicious as always, and even came out looking like it does on the box!

Today I am thankful for lots of yummy food of course, and that it was a beautiful Thanksgiving day.

I ran a “Turkey Chase” 10K race this morning, and it was 70 degrees and sunny. In years past, it’s been cold and/or rainy for the race. Last year, I came home muddy and had to hose off my shoes!

Sure, it did get a bit rainy this afternoon, and the temperatures are supposed to drop. It will only be in the low 40s tomorrow. But today was just fabulous!

Too bad I was in front of the stove for most of it!
