Possum Pie

Aaaah I'm so fucking proud.

My Possum Pie is done.
And it was sooooo damn delicious.

It's a nice feeling when you succeed in something you really wanna do well.

I'm ready for tomorrows Thanksgiving Dinner!

Trouble

So, thanksgiving is next week.
But we're celebrating it on Saturday :D  Cause I said so.

Now, we have key lime pie and pecan pie for dessert so far.
But one more dessert is needed.
After all, we're going to be 15 people here. Yup.

And I just can't choose what to bake.


But I narrowed it down to these:

Southern Possum Pie (yum...this one is leading so far) And no, of course there's no possums in it.

(Mine didn't quite turn out this fabulous haha)

And then we have:

Mom's secret chocolate pie.
(someone's family recipe I found haha)

And also Mississippi mud cake pie:
(Now this one is a little more difficult to make...)

Or Southern pecan & Peach cobbler pie with bourbon whipped cream.

Darn it..I just can't choose.
I mean, they all look delicious.
At first I had planned on doing Sweet Potato Pie but then I changed my mind.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.............

Frost has never eaten Possum Pie so I'm kinda leaning more to that one at the moment. But hot damn they all look fucking tasty.





Now we'll go to bed, and I'll pretend to sleep. But in reality I'll be laying there in pure panic over tomorrow. I am SO fucking nervous.
Freya's getting her vaccination shots tomorrow at 10:30.
I'm dreading it. I can't bear to hear her cry her pitiful heartbreaking cry. It's different when it's her 'hey, I'm fucking mad' cy. Or the 'give me the booooooob' cry.

Or 'I took a dump now chaaaaange meeeee' cry.


Nooo...this cry, this cry shreds my heart to tiny pieces. It feels like my heart will break completely. I'll actually start crying with her if I can't comfort her. And I won't be able to comfort her. The doctors said it hurts like hell. :(

So Frost will go inside with her, and I'll wait outside.

Jeez, it hurts in my chest just thinking about it.

Thanksgiving

Sooo... We did out first Swedish thanksgiving.
Last year I spent thanksgiving Alabama :) So this year a whole new tradition was born. A Swedish thanksgiving with southern food ^_^

First time I made cornbread and cranberry sauce. All from scratch mind you. I'm so proud! Cause everyone loved my cornbread! :D WOHO!

We had a nice tasty turkey, Frost's very own potato salad, mashed potatoes a la southern style haha Turkey dressing, green bean casserole, and I made my chicken pie,abd Nas made fried chicken. And Kuti brought Persian chicken salad (Frost loved it) Josse made cheery cheesecake. Nathalie made pecan pie, and mom made chocolate mouse cake.

We were about 14 people here :)
Aaaaand I got to feel how stressful thanksgiving really is. Shoooot.... Haha

Sweet

Woke up to snuggles <3 YaY!
And the smell of food.

Apparently Frost's mother is making a real southern style lunch for meeee :)
Southern Pork-chops. Om nom nom nom! She wanted e to eat some real southern cooking before I leave :) Ain't that sweet?
