The Progeny
Thanksgiving 09 - First day
And lo, the pop-timer on the bird of prey did pop up, and only 12 minutes later than expected.
But verily, the white potatoes were oh, so problematic, and they did doth refuse to mash-up without lumpage.
I blame Ethan. He must have planted the wrong type of potato for true mashability.
However, the peoples did not complain, mainly because they knew from whence their turkey cameth. And gravy. And stuffage.
______________
The pies were not baked until later, their time of eating coming conveniently around the supper hour, wherein Ma had already pronounced she would be making nothing.
Two pumpkin, one pecan and one chocolate.
Oh, and a quart of whipping cream, whipped. D'ya think that'll be enough?
Fun time with the kids eager to smash their older brother, Jason, in a multi-player computer game of X-Pilot.
Downstairs, the mighty Rockwellian flouts his arrogance, "Those guys are going to be toast..."
"Wait...WHAT'S HAPPENING....!!....AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!"
Apparently, even the mighty can be blown up.
After that heartwarming family time, Carolyn and Kendra sit down to the piano for duets.
Thanksgiving evening means the Christmas songs can come out of hiding :-)
More pictures tomorrow, quite possibly.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

I found the solution to lumpy mashed potatoes--Smashed Potatoes with garlic. The garlic really is irrelevant. The point is that with Smashed Potatoes, lumps are expected.
By the way, the whipped cream looked re-e-ally good. I don't get it near enough, and my hubby prefers the store brands. (He says the home-made stuff has no flavor. Oh, well.)
Sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving. I hope so.
Hi Terry :-)
I think we did have a nice Thanksgiving, though I was glad to get off my feet, after sorting out leftovers, and let Kendra do the dishes.
That store brand topping rings a bell. Jason says he likes Cool Whip better, too. I just don't get it, as I add some sugar to whipping cream and I think it's pretty swell.
But then, he also thinks the canned pumpkin makes better pie than a real pumpkin grown in the garden...it must be one of those weird male-things.
I spy pecan pie!
