In 1976 my wife and I moved to Brussels Belgium. That was the first year we did not join the extended family at my Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving. However, I did call and visit. When Grandma realized that the Belgium’s did not celebrate Thanksgiving she suggested that I should take a pumpkin pie to work. That was many years ago and sadly my Grandma has passed on. However, following her advice I am sharing a pumpkin pie with the world via our Daily Photo blog. I hope you enjoy.

Thanksyou. Actually, I don’t like pumpkin pie (prefer eating it as a vegetable - roasted- rather than a sweet). BUT, given the proce of bananas here since last year’s cyclone in Queensland, I wouldn’t mind a banana, if I may?

It’s my favorite holiday, I think. But each one is different, isn’t it? The pies look delicious. You, of course, baked them–right!

Jing, my wife felt I was showing something a little to personal. But when she saw the photo she changed her mind and agreed to let me post it.
Sally, a banana it is then. We also plan to make a cherry pie if you would rather.
Midnitebara, thank you. I was very pleased with yesterday’s photo.
Edwin, we have delayed our Thanksgiving meal by one day so that my daughter and son-in-law could enjoy a meal with his parents. Today we feast.
Andreea, I have such wonderful memories or Belgium. Thanks for commenting.
Kate, I did the mixing and pouring. My wife gave the directions. Basically I did what any good husband does. I did whatever my wife told me to do.

Denten, actually i wanted to say i should spend more time on cooking as a woman.In my kitchen, less less cook stuff could be seen. hee hee….i seldom cook since i live by myself. it is a big problem for me that i don’t have a big stomach to finish all the food i cook. Then…with the time goes by…less and less cook stuffs in my kitchen.
mmm….but i really like eat at home.

Not crazy about pumpkin pie - any chance of a pecan pie? Mmmmm…We were very untraditional last night and topped off our feast with a mixed berry shortcake. Hey, to each his own :-)

Just found your blog. Great to find another Greenville area photographer online. Love your photos. I also posted a photo of pumpkin pie, abit I almost finished it before taking the photo!
Denton said,
Jing, I’m the best cook in our home. Although what we both like most is to cook together.
Lisi, thank you.
Isabella, I should have put whipped cream on the pumpkin pie before I took the photo.
Norma, a wonderful memory.
