BPsux's Journal

I'm tired as all hell. Been baking all day. But, it's almost done. The pumpkin pies are in the oven, and the peaches and cream tarts are ready to go in when the pies come out. Those golden flaky crusts of the pies look so good.... I made two so later we can have one and I will put the other one in the freezer for monday. We are having my mom and brothers out for thanksgiving. I am rather looking forward to it, we have never had them out for dinner, so it will be fun. It was Chris's idea too. I think he is looking forward to it. I feel like an ass, I never thought he liked my family, but apparently I am just a very paranoid person. Plus, he used to be so much like his twisted family I didn't think he would ever learn to like my family. I finally asked him a few weeks ago if he likes them (paranoid or what?). He said of course he does, and he thinks my brothers are the greatest. Nathan reminds him of himself when he was that age, and Shaun cracks me up. Personally, Shaun scares the crap out of me. Hyperactive little shit. But I love them anyways. Thanksgiving will be fun. I have a lot of work ahead of me though. Not that I mind. Thankgiving and Christmas are my two favorite times of year just because I love to cook. It seems my passion for cooking is dead now that it is a daily thing instead of a project, so holidays rock for me. I love it. The timing everything right, the smells, the colours of the foods.... god, no wonder I'm fat. But it is fun. And just downright fantastic. Well, the pies are out now, and the tarts are in. Yay! I really can't wait to try the tarts. I have never made them before, and I didn't use a recipe.... but I rarely do, and everything turns out perfect anyway, so I have nothing to worry about. Well, I should go mix up some iol to set for monday.... I'm so excited.
