November - Falling Leaves and Thanksgiving

After the nuts, now come the leaves!






Working hard. . .


. . . or hardly working?

Oreo cookie crust for the peanut butter pie

Pumpkin pie

Apple pie

Steffi's first attempts at pie-making were super successes!


The peanut butter/whipped cream/cream cheese filling

Perfection!




Sweet potatoes with pecans

Now, how did we do the turkey the last time???

Improvised roasting rack (those are cookie cutters)









Following a strict schedule, Steffi faithfully basted the turkey with melted butter.

Nadine created the napkin decorations and made name cards.

Cooking the potatoes for mashed potatoes


Lookin' good!

Green bean casserole




The gang's all here. . .

Plus - Steffi and Lukas and Micha at the "VIP" table

Steffi's delicious creations!


This is the peanut butter pie - tasted like a Snickers candy bar - but better!

I think you're having a Rip van Winkle moment, Daniel! Masa

Thank goodness for Wikipedia, your literary reference was almost lost on us mere mortals.

Zachary told me that would be the case (he didn't know who Rip van Winkle was either). I wasn't too worried about your ability to acquire information, but I was worried that Elizabeth might carry the symbolism too far and think I was implying that she was the nagging wife. NO WAY!! We all know that would never apply to Elizabeth! Masa
