Yup. He was at my place for our first Thanksgiving together, cooking for
my family.

It was actually a one of those ceramic or stoneware covered pie plate
sets. No matter what we did, the crust slid. The other pies we made were
fine -- and there was a clafouti to die for as well. At first we thought
it was something about the way we were making our pie crust, but it did
the same with one of those Pillsbury refrigerated crusts. I suspect that
there was something about the way the pie plate was made, making it
radiate heat in an odd way (yes, it was oven safe and meant for baking).
I'd gotten it as a prize at a Bunko party and hadn't used it before. It
was awfully pretty with the top on though! I ended up giving it to one
of my daughters.

My biggest Thanksgiving disaster would have been the time that I had an
element go out on the electric oven on Thanksgiving Eve. Mad scramble
trying to find a store that carried one and wasn't closed already.
Dinner was considerably later on Thanksgiving because I lost so much
prep time the day before. It was one of those times that I would have
given anything for a second oven.

We got our first decent rain last night! It's cool, gray and wet today.
Perfect way to lead into Halloween! It was much too warm last year.
