Fingernails broken: One. Of course! I had a manicure today.
Turkeys dropped on toe: One. Of course! I had a pedicure today. I think this was the turkey's way of exacting revenge.
Pie crusts made: Six. That's enough for six single-crust pies or 3 double-crust pies. For the record (since this is the official record) the first batch I made seemed doughy - smooth like cookie dough. The second batch seemed much more pie crusty but it was more dry than the first batch. That's one of the questions I'm planning on asking Jesus. Why is pie crust such a magical, mystery thing? And will I be able to make it perfect in Heaven?
New Kitchen Aid mixer used: Twice :) I love my new mixer. It was a present from the Pastor. I used it for the pie crusts and cornbread.
Cooking soundtrack: Ke$ha.
Dishes planned: Twelve. Corn, Dressing, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Apple Pie, Relish Tray, Turkey, Ham, Rolls, Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Relish and Gravy.
Dishes Robyn could care less about: Two - ham and turkey.
I'd just as soon go eat Mexican food.
Dishes Mom is bringing: One - layered salad. It's pretty much the only thing I care about. Well, that and the pie.
Dishes on the original plan that were scrapped: Brie covered in Puff Pastry. I think we are having enough food. No one needs cheese.
Money spent at grocery store: I'm not saying. Let's just leave it at I could have eaten for days and days and days at the Mexican restaurant.
In addition to the pie crusts, tonight I made the cranberry relish.
I should note the only request the Pastor has made is that I must purchase the cranberry stuff in a can. I obliged, but I still made home-made cranberry sauce tonight. Why? I don't know. Nobody cares about the cranberry stuff. If people liked the cranberry stuff, it'd be around all year. I did back off from my original plan. I did not use my cranberry gelatin mold. I figure if no one cares about cranberry stuff, then they especially do not care what shape it is in.
The turkey is brining. The cornbread is getting stale, just like it's supposed to do for the stuffing.
I'm going to bed.
Hopefully I'll dream of Mexican food.

I love cranberry sauce. Use twice the sugar and half the water called for on the bag. Then add cinnamon and chili powder. It makes it Mexican style!
Hey, I like the cranberry stuff. You can make all the cranberry stuff you want and I like it all but you have to have at least 1 out of the can sitting on the table. It wouldn’t be thanksgiving without it.
