My First Apple Pie

As many of you might not but we are celebrating our thanksgiving in Canada this weekend. Max labored himself almost the whole day yesterday preparing the dinner (his second time in his life cook a 10lbs bird) for our friends and friend of friends. My job was to make an apple pie. The pastry dough was already made the night before, however I got home last night way too late and only left myself less than an hour to peel and slice all the apples, prepare the filling and roll out the dough. To make things worse our guests decided to arrive 40minutes early. Anyways after few kitchen incidents, dinner turned out surprisingly good. Even though I forgot to weave pastry stripes to make the lattice pattern, my first apple pie did not disappoint (Recipe found here). Actually doesn't matter if food turned out good or bad, it is always a pleasure to have friends over to drink, catch up and have a valuable time together. And it certainly won't bother me either if someone got hammered and passed out on the couch again :)

Hope you all had/have a happy thanksgiving!
