I’m thankful for a quiet and small Thanksgiving gathering this year. We kept it simple — roast chicken because we’re not big fans of turkey, slow cooker stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy. (I was too busy cooking to snap photos of everything.)
Yesterday I got up early to fetch our preordered pies from Spilt Milk Pastry in Oak Park. Staff made the cold a little more bearable with free coffee for everyone in line.
I took number one grandson with me. He wore a hat he made at school, chatted with other customers, and petted a dog named Gracie. He’s like a human social network.
Once we got inside I bought him an M&M cookie and chocolate milk.
Here are the pies – one pumpkin and one pecan. We enjoyed them both with homemade whipped cream. The leftover pie is not going to last long!
