There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love,
but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.

Baking for Malibu



The baking is done! Last night was "baking for Thanksgiving" night! I am off to the relatives casa in Malibu. I made Chocolate Pecan Pie that turned out beautifully. Pumpkin Bread, with golden raisins, dried cherries and almonds. Also, a Jeff Davis pie, which is actually a chess pie. Not sure about the pumpkin bread. Ended up making two loaves. For some reason it didn't cook just right. But tastes good anyway!


Now all I need is a turkey feast, and some vino! I am ready for the day, aren't You? Happy Thanksgiving all!

  2. I got lucky - my inlaws are doing Turkey day in Burbank so I don't have to travel far this year. I've noticed that So.Cal Thanksgiving Feasts Always include Vino... Never really came up while growing up in Texas that Wine could be drank during feasts.. They only drank Coors or Budlight. *makes a gross face at beer*

    I got elected to bring the Martinelli's and Wine for Turkey day. Hope i choose some decent Wines...

  7. Happy Thanksgiving! Since you never came back to read my list, I crossed Santa Barbara off the list of places I'd move to. ;-)

    I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend!

  9. Oh my God! And just to think I was just near Malibu a few days ago (now I'm back on the east coast).

    Please, please send me some of that pecan pie. I don't care if there's none left. Send it anyway! ;)
