this is the first thanksgiving that i wont be with my parents. WE are cooking instead. bill and beth are heading over, along with beths parents.
tonight we are trying to get some of the side dishes taken care of and ive already fucked it up.
if you dont already know about my stellar cooking skills, ill tell you. in college my job at our mock thanksgivings (a topic which we can discuss later) was always the no bake cheesecake. every year something went wrong. i added too much milk, or i dropped the bowl into the crust and made no bake cheesecake scramble. ive recently had very "i love lucy" moments with pecan pie, fudge, and eggs benedict- though it seems i have moved away from the no bake fiascos.
until today.
my mom always makes a chocolate cream pie. the recipe is basically pudding packets, dream whip packets and milk. no baking. just mixing.
it is supposed to look like this:
mmm. tasty.
mine does not look like that. it looks a little more like pudding in a crust- a little less like pie. ill take a photo tomorrow. im sure it will still taste the same. my mom giggled and assured me it "should" thicken. i called her a bitch and told her to stop laughing at me.
happy holidays.
