Yesterday I overheard one of my co-workers actually ASK someone on the phone if they have Thanksgiving in India. WTF?! I also discovered my plant had been stolen; this makes two plants stolen from me in the 1.5 years I've been there. WHO steals a plant!
Anyway, back to the world which actually matters to me: I had a GREAT Thanksgiving. It started yesterday the second I got home from work, because I got to experience the sheer joy of baking the delicious pie above: It's Pumpkin Praline Pie from "The Best of America's Test Kitchen 2008". SO GOOD!!
It's funny: I started this blog to partly to find my favorite cookie, but what I really discovered is how I love finding new cookies, and new baked goods in general. I mean, I really love baking. I love how you just have random simple ingredients, and after some choice mixing and waiting, you have created something totally new and satisfying. Maybe it's the chem major in me, but I just love the measuring and precision. I love being on my feet and working with my hands. I want to get to a point where I can create new recipes; I want to become a great baker.
So the day was great. I made green beans with pickled onions and this yummy cranberry punch. We hung out, talked, laughed, and all in all it was a great day. More pics and details later.
