For the record, yesterday’s Thanksgiving dinner was fabulous. There were a lot of people there this year. A lot.
Our youngest son played the piano and his new guitar and it was the best thing I’ve heard in a while.
My green bean casserole was a huge hit. The flavors were wonderful, if I must say so. And I must. I also made my traditional apple/pumpkin pie and this year, tried a new dessert as well. I made a chocolate chip pecan pie and it was . . . oh, my stars, was it ever good. I used Ghirardelli’s 60% cacao bittersweet pieces. Pecan pie isn’t usually my cup of tea, but the addition of chocolate takes it to a whole new level.
It’s raining this morning and I think it’s a perfect day to see a movie. With family in NJ. I think I’ll head back over soon.
And maybe I’ll have some of that pie for lunch . . .
If you’ve gotten this far, I noticed this morning that I’ve reached 700 followers and that means it’s time for another Giveaway. I’ll host one later this weekend, so stay tuned.
Until later, my friends . . .
Enjoy your loved ones. Because that’s what it’s all about.

Happy belated Thanksgiving to you and yours. It is wet here too...keeping the horses in the stalls. It is that time of year again.
(((hugs)))
That is what it's about. I am having that same kind of day, enjoying all of it.
Could you send me up a piece of that pie?
Glad you had a wonderful family day - enjoy your 'echo' day today as well!
sounds wonderful ...blessings to you and yours kate
700 followers! That's very cool.
And its snowing here in Vermont. Perfect day to stay inside and sip some hot chocolate and watch DVDs :)
I tried PW's green bean casserole recipe too and the response was the same! It was delish!
Glad you had a great Thanksgiving!

...Your pie sounds so unusual yet so yummy! I was just reading over your recipe and do you slice the apples thin? Also, thanks for emailing me the recipe for the chicken salad too. :o)
...So glad to hear you enjoyed your day yesterday, you so deserve it! Enjoy your weekend too!
...Blessings... :o)
Those pies sounds marvelous! I'm glad you had a great time, Kate. And 700 is a WOW number. You deserve each and every one of those followers. We're always in for a treat when we visit.
Chocolate chip pecan .. oh my waistline. I must get you some Jacques Torres chocolate, having had both I can honestly say Jacques far out rocks Ghiradelli's .. enjoy the flick
Oh.my.goodness - 700? You have your own small town!
700 guests for dinner...wow!

Happy belated Thanksgiving! I'm with you, pecan pie is okay but chocolate pecan pie is delicious!!! Wish I could share a piece!
ahh, the pioneer woman is becoming bigger than big. :) i saw her on throwdown the other night.
glad your day was wonderful - mine was too.
wow 700... i have 7 i think ... now... sigh :D
OHHHH I WANT THAT RECIPE for the chocolate chip pecan pie please!
A nice day to sit inside and do nothing!!
Well, it finally got 'cold' down here in Texas...beautiful day here...very cool and blue skies.
I don't dare go shopping on Black Friday...don't need anything that badly. Wouldn't mind watching a great movie but DH is planted in the tv room in his recliner and watching none other than endless football games!
I checked out PW's green bean casserole. I was wondering all the time reading it if asparagus would be a good sub for the green beans??? I love warmed asparagus. Do they grow wild in your part of the world? While in Indiana several years ago, I tasted some wild ones...fresh picked along the side of some railroad tracks and cooked...omg! they were good!
Enjoy your days off with your hubby and whoever else is blessed to be with you and George!
Hugs, Jeanne

We had rain during the night last night but a breeze early morning had dried it. The sidewalks were almost dry at 6 am. BUT, it' been a cold day and we have a few cold nights ahead of us.... sunny days, cold nights.
Your pie sounds wonderful. I made green bean casserole too, but it tasted bland. Do you add anything special to yours to boost the taste buds reaction?

I don't really care for pecan pie either but I might if it had chocolate. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, and I'm not even looking at that pie recipe, because I'll probably gain a few lbs. just reading it!
Congrats!
