FUCK!

so. thanksgiving. i was making a pumpkin pie. put it in the oven, and 10 mins later smelled it burning. the crust was completely black. this sucks. so, i decided to scrape the filling into another pie shell and try again at a substantially low temp.

this was going well untill the last scoop, which, of course, dumped the entire old crust on top of the new pie. picking bits and pieces of crust out o' the pie, and scraping as much pumpkin as i could back into the new one. it turned out ok - edible but not pretty. oh well.

i was going to make a fancy fake-turkey pot pie that has been the staple of my vegan thanksgivings for the last few years, but the whole pumpkin-pie incident made me think twice and now it's a bit tooo late.

so. it's pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and possibly some sweet potatoes. me and the potato. yup. my main sustenance is going to be potatoes and stuffing today. this is not exactly desireable, but hey, it's a start. oh well.

and then there's the idea of thanksgiving. giving thanks. here's the scoop on the thanks for this year:

1- moved out of mississippi. big bonus.
2- got a job doing cave stuff. again, big bonus (even if it's only a 6 month position)
3- living somewhere where it's cold. yay.

and then there's the rest:
4- got dumped by a girl i seriously thought i'd spend the rest of my life with
5- left school without my masters degree in hand - something that i told myself wouldn't happen
6- living somewhere where there's no one around, and being in HUGE debt. that sucks.
7- the girl thing again. cause it's such a kick in the arse. oh well.
