Tried My Hand At Key Lime Pie as Something Different and Enjoyed that It Cut Into the Heavy Flavors of the Normal Turkey Affair

I played around and it was really good. That's all I need to say. Without hosting this year, I felt sort of guilty for not doing more so I brought my carrots and then tried my hands at a recipe I've only tried once. I also figured out another way to cut the tartness with nuts and made a cream layer on the top that came out really nice. 

Dominik and Kaitlyn did a great job hosting and everything was, as usual, delicious. I don't know what Pam does with her sausage stuffing, but it is out of this world. Dominik's mom pureed beats which were served cold and so that was also interesting. 

During the day, while not cooking or running 5Ks, Tunga and I manage to winterize the back porch which I've been waiting to do for some time. I'm cautious moving the tables by myself because I seem to be pulling something with every move I make. 

Tunga and Lys plan on road tripping for the weekend to Providence, so I can slow down the entertainment route for a few days. I should catch up on the grading, since the final projects are coming in next week, too. 

And I have leftovers. I don't want to eat them, but I will, because they are delicious. 

Ah, and Kaitlyn made the bourbon maple bars. I am set.
