Hanging Out with M & M

My grandchildren, Mia and Milo, arrived last night just in time for supper. Here the are having breakfast this morning:

Miles was not quite awake!

While they ate, I made the brine for the turkey:

Turkeybrine

I didn’t get a pic of the nude turkey going into the brine, but suffice it to say, it is not a pretty picture!

We took Maggie for a walk – forgot the camera.

Just found out that Steph has pics of our walk here.

Then I made two pies for tomorrow (pumpkin streusel and chocolate pecan):

Twopies

While the kids got in some play time.

After lunch we went to the Snoopy museum:

Then we went to Healdsburg, the hometown of list mom, Diane. I was inspired to buy some great stuff for M & M at Scout, our favorite children’s store. Then we took a break at a cafe for drinks and cookies:
Breaktime

Oh, oh! Somebody conked out!

Wipeout

Instead of eating out, we opted for pizza at home.

I had time, while the oven was hot, to roast tomatoes and red onions which will be combined with green beans tomorrow.

A lovely day!

    pecan pie – mine did not set up… Any advice?

    Everything looked GREAT! We were less Martha around my table. Plain green beans, plain butternut squash/sweet pototo/yam boil, canned whole cranberry sauce, followed but pecan ice cream topping in a pie shell…..

    P.S. Martha is a good thing, just too much for me.
