I WON A TURKEY!!!

The week before Thanksgiving, Trader Joe's held a cooking and baking contest among employees. Whoever made the best stuffing and/or pumpkin pie could take home some serious prizes. First place in each category earned a turkey and second place got a $10 TJ's gift card.

Well, now, the title of this blog post kind of spoiled the suspense, but that's OK because I really couldn't contain my excitement when I won the turkey for best pumpkin pie. Instead of a typical pie, however, I made my mom's pumpkin pie gingerbread trifle. The employees voted, and--not to brag or anything because it's my mom's recipe--I won by a landslide!

Mariel really wanted to get a pic of me and my bird, but the only time she did was when I was fresh out of the shower wearing my bathrobe. Pretty typical, though.
