Thanksgiving Dinner

I made Parker House Rolls to go with Thanksgiving dinner. Following the recipe in Cook's Illustrated Baking cookbook, I made them earlier in the day, about 3 hours before dinner was ready. The rolls were absolutely delicious warm, but once they cooled, they seemed a bit dry. It's nearly impossible to bake something while a turkey is in the oven along with side dishes. Lesson learned.



Pies included pumpkin, chocolate pecan and sour cherry-peach. While alone in the kitchen with cooling pies, Aksel decided to help me "decorate" the pumpkin one by dragging sharp objects across the top. Another lesson learned: don't leave a two year old alone with pie. I should have known that one already.
