Thanksgiving Aftermath and Christmas Presents

The November cooking marathon is over, so we all need to take a couple of days to relax.  I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  Ours went very well.  Tons of turkey, more stuffing than I could consume and the pies went over extremely well.

Thanks to all of you for reading the recipes I've been posting.  Seriously, we've had more traffic this past week and a half than we've had in the past two months, so I'm very, very appreciative. If you tried one, please post a comment on that particular and let me know how it went. 

But even though we're past the biggest meal of the year, it doesn't mean we can take a break.  Christmas brings a whole new set of cooking challenges.  There's the cookies for Santa, there's building a gingerbread house with the kids, and there are the obligatory neighbor gifts, with snacks like caramel popcorn balls, chocolate caramel pretzel sticks, and homemade taffy that have to be delivered. 

We'll be covering all those essentials in the next 30 days.  You'll also see at least one restaurant review.  And since it's the holidays, there has to be presents.  So make sure you become a Facebook friend of That Means We Get Pie so the elves can possibly deliver a gift to you.  Stay close and keep on the lookout for all sorts of new ideas!

Finally, you may have noticed that there are now a few ads on the site.  Well, Daddy's gotta pay a few bills, and I promise to not make it too intrusive.  But if you want to support the blog and you see something that interests you, feel free to click it and help my boys go to college.

So watch the blogs for a couple of new posts every week until Christmas!
