One afternoon after visiting Grandma-ma and Grandpa-pa we rolled down the rear windows and told the kids to say "hasta luego" and the kids mixed it up with "hakuna matata" and it came out "hasta mah-ku-ku" and now EVERY time we see the grandparents it's always, "Kids say goodbye to grandma-ma and grandpa-pa" and the kids holler, "hasta mah-ku-ku!" and they recite it back. It's been about 4 years now and I don't think I'll ever find it obnoxious. It's one of those moments were time seems to stand still or play back like an old black and white movie.

One with the chocolate chips (YUUUUUMMMMMY!) and one without, which was also yummy.... my husband said, "THIS IS THE BEST PECAN PIE I'VE EVER TASTED. REALLY!" Thank you for making me a rock star! To my credit, I did disclose the recipe came from you instead of hogging the glory all to myself. Tomorrow morning....baked oatmeal! Hope you had a fabulous Holiday of the Turkey!

As a Texan who has been overseas most of her married life, I'm back in the US of A and was thrilled to have FRESH cranberries but didn't have a clue what to do with them! They were delicious. Love the recipes you share - my daughter flagged your blog for me as I'm a blog virgin and just started this year (you NEVER forget your first blog! It was good, REALLY good....) ;) I digress.... Happy Holiday of the Turkey to you! We've enjoyed the Holiday of the Pig - much more suitable (and actually quite true) for us. Cheers! Thanks for your cranberry sauce recipe!

And I realized she meant football season! So football season has a "special" name in our house as your holiday of the turkey does in your house. Let's just hope the Ags give us something to be thankful for tomorrow. Yeah right! Oh well, maybe we'll have a new coach to be thankful for by this time next week.
