Consuela, are you making a savory pie? For some reason, that's what I think hot water crust is for?
Finished my stupid work and will try not to think about it until Monday.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

Going to my MIL's as usual for Thanksgiving. Bringing a pie for us, as Gary's mom is watching her calories.(Health reasons)

Thrift store was closed, but the bags are in the car and out of the house. PO counter was closed, so one package did not get mailed. Grocery store shockingly uncrowded, in and out quickly. Now food prep.

I was totally boggled when I watched the hot water pastry crust episode. I had never heard of such a thing, and they all seemed like it was something they'd learned at their mothers' knees.
In dining room news, I have sanded and washed and as soon as the timer goes to turn down the temperature on the cranberry quick bread that's in the oven, I'm going to prime. Because the paint came via UPS today, so if I prime tonight I can put color on the wall tomorrow morning in plenty of time before the in-laws show up! /crazy

I made molasses cookies (for the guy who saved my butt on Saturday night with the smoke alarm drama), just pulled pie out of the oven, and made cranberry sauce from scratch for the first time! I also bought an already-cooked turkey breast at the store, because this is all just for "leftovers" rather than an actual "dinner" (which we are going to a restaurant for). Tomorrow, green bean casserole, brussels sprouts, and stuffing. Maybe sweet potatoes too, i have them but haven't decided a plan for them.

I have done...nothing productive. Being sick is hard work.

Is someone going to make Thanksgiving for you, Suzi? Sick is the worst.

It looks like it is preferred for savory pies, but the reviews I saw on the recipes seemed to indicate it would be fine for either. Less delicate but more crisp, maybe. I may make one crust for each and see how they come out. Anything that doesn't work that well I can repurpose for a quiche.

I'm about to have a temper tantrum and start stomping around the living room yelling "No, No, No!" because my newish monitor just borked out (blown capacitors causing it to turn off after two seconds. maybe) and I can't use my computer.
I have my Chromebook but can access my music and hence my reason for living.
