24 November Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving!! I was up before dawn, with strong coffee, pie crust and other things. Auntie Mame is on TV, so it´s today, let her inspire us!

After the dough was put in the fridge, I went to put everything else together. Forgotten ingredient!!! Tale as old as time, evaporated milk vs. sweetened condensed milk. I always have one when I need the other. So, I had to wait till the store opened to get a can. So, now all is well.

The pie ever so delicately went into the oven about four minutes ago. It´s a tricky little thing, this tart. After all these years, a detail we overlooked. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out, but this year, for the first time I put the tart on a pre-heated baking sheet.

This movie is hilarious. I´ve never seen and I can´t take my eyes off it now. But my eyes are on the clock. Ten minutes till ten the tart should be done. It took a few more minutes to bake, put the pie is out and cooling. I will pull the turkey out of the Fridge at 12:30, which gives me two and a quarter hours to do other things.
