We enjoyed a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house up in New Hampshire this year. She cooked an awesome turkey, and Laura and I had a chance to help in the preparations. Laura even helped make some dinner rolls, although she was really afraid of measuring the flour. I think bread is a little more forgiving than other baking. For the most part you have to guess how much flour you need based on the temperature and humidity.

I didn't really get a chance to cook anything this year. That's okay though, as I'm now loaded with lots of new recipes to try in the coming months. And I'll have plenty more opportunities to perfect my pie crust techniques. I just hope I can find enough people to eat all the pies I'm going to be making!
