We had dinner with my dad's girlfriend, her son and his wife, and their 
offspring. I brought an apple pie, with purchased crust that didn't bake 
long enough and thus I have to change that in my copy of the recipe. It's 
a sugar-free pie recipe involving apple juice concentrate, for which I 
subsitute real apple cider that's been cooked down. And I brought flan, it 
being *such* a traditional Thanksgiving dish. But it was requested, so I 
brought it. My sister made a pumpkin-cream cheese pie from either a 
newspaper article or a tv cooking show, and it was good but it baked 
oddly so it had a sort of diseased look to it. ;-)

Everything else was pretty traditional--stuffing (no raisins, yay!), 
turkey, cranberry sauces, pickles, bread, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn 
pudding, green beans with roasted almonds, sweet potatoes (cubed and 
roasted).

When I get home I have a half-peck or so of apples that will be individual 
apple pie-ettes, I think. But not with purchased crust, and I'll make sure 
it bakes long enough this time.
