A Girl Named Timi

Hope you and your family have a wonderful Norman Rockwell day today!

Is this what your Thanksgiving Day looks like?

I know ours doesn't.


What's your favorite part of Thanksgiving?


Mine.........Spending time with my family and friends of course

My mom's stuffing and gravy


Putting olives on all my fingers

Oh Yeah, I'll do it as long as I can get away with it and

I'll teach any kid about it that will listen and follow.


Planning my Friday shopping strategy
Every year I say "I'm gettin up at 4:00 am and goin to town" I have NEVER done that! I usually make it to town about noon.


Here's a pie recipe Laurie Ann at Tinkers Piggies wanted me to post after I had written about on WSU Laura's blog.


Eggnog Pie
Make a pie crust. You can use store bought if you wish. My mother the fantastic pie maker would have a stroke if I used store bought pie crust.

I doubled the batch to get two pies. I suggest you use a deep pie pan if you have one. If not, a single batch makes a pie and 1/2.

Make pudding mixture. When thick and bubbly, let it cool a little, then add your egg yokes. Stir quick when you add these.

This pie uses a lot of bowls when making it.
Make your meringue out of the egg white. Isn't that beautiful?

My Kitchen Aid mixer does the best job of whipping. It makes whip cream, meringue, and marshmallows in a flash. I did it for years with a little $9.99 hand mixer. That worked great but this works soooooooo much better.

Whip Cream
Fold everything together in the biggest bowl you own.
