Burgers (trying vendor from Iowa Food Coop, Bear Creek Acres)

needed more fat.

Ground Pork and Beans Taco Salad

quick, the point.

For Week 49 we ate mostly leftovers, some takeout and some I feel like making this now type of food.

Results

The pie was a complete and utter failure.  I missed the part bout withholding a bit of the gelatinized part for the pumpkin top, so the texture of white chocolate part was just...wrong.  Even before this the crust, which was nicely put of the sides, collapsed to the base so there was a super thick part in the middle and nothing on the sides.

The apple crisp was a bit lemony, but not as lemony as the last time I didn't an apple crisp.  I think I'm going to the next one, more like what Joseph does at work, where you just have to finish it off for individual servings.

Other then that, we were ready at almost exactly the time we said.

I cannot express the amount of help that Joseph provided and how thankful I am for it.  We ripped through the day off prep, he offered to make extra things.  He did the ice cream, he ran off to get his apple corer, which just zipped through the apple prep.  He even wore a beard net (even though I didn't ask, nor would expect it).

So thank's Joseph, I really appreciate it.

Another Thanksgiving in the bag.  Now to start thinking about next year.
