My pumpkin pie went in the oven att 5:00 am. I will start putting together
my dressing after this note, then prep the fresh vegetables. Turkey, well,
probably about 8:00 am.

I put mine in after midnight, thinking I should get started on
cooking. I almost forgot to put in the eggs, but they made it at the
last minute. I pre-baked my 10" pie crust in the oven, filled it with
pie mixture and used a disposable pie tin with pre-made crust for the
leftover mixture. Well, I forgot to take the oven off of convect, so
10 minutes into the 15 of cooking at 450°, I discovered that the small
pie's crust was a deep, dark brown (almost black). Damn! Took it out
to put foil around the edges, get it almost to it's resting place on a
cook-top burner when the thing collapses in my hands. The tin went
from flat to V shaped and pumpkin pie filling was spilled all over my
burner. This is the type of cook-top that you have to raise the
entire thing just to get at the drip pans, because I can't remove my
coils - so I had another adventure in cleaning after the pie was put
back into the oven.

"Oh Shit!" is about all I can think to say. What a mess and awful
experience.

My pie came out perfectly, the turkey breast is in now, and the dressing is
made awaiting baking. All the veggies are prepped and also awaiting
cooking.

I'm going to go take a nap for about and hour and a half...

Hope everything else works out well!!!

Oddly enough, I wasn't flustered or discombobulated.... but I'll grant
you it was a big mess.

Looking at them in the daylight. They look pretty darned good. I
won't be embarrassed to serve them.

Thanks, I posted more adventures from last night in a new thread. I
should have just started early like you. Instead, I decided to make
things ahead of my comfort zone.

We have a small turkey (which should take 4.5 hours to roast) because
hubby doesn't like turkey, especially turkey leftovers, and we're not
sure how much people will be eating because they are going to other
T'giving gatherings before they settle here. I'm thinking maybe I'll
get a ham to toss in the oven, if I can find one on sale today. We
both like leftover ham.

I don't think there is a concept of leftover ham...Unless it is a fresh
uncooked ham. Ham usually is already cooked before you get it...at least up
here.

That's true, but if there is a lot of leftover ham from the meal, I don't
like it frozen. Something horrible seems to happen to it. I just found
out recently that Honey-Baked Ham can now be purchased by the pound, which
is what I will do in the future. I'm the only one who eats it in this
house.

I'm glad the situation didn't "get" you. It probably would have me.

I only roasted a turkey breast, and it came out well. I did eat 2 slices
of turkey, but I won't be eating any of the leftover. David loved the
turkey, so leftovers of it won't be a problem.

I'd also rather have ham, and I will do that at Christmas.

That's the kinda crap that happens to me when I have people coming
over...If they haven't been over before the larger the accident.

Either when they're coming, or after they arrived. I remember one
Christmas dinner when the garbage disposer decided to regurgitate and spit
crap all over the kitchen. What a godawful mess!
