I made a practice apple pie today. Thanksgiving is coming up and pies are a must. Last year we made a practice turkey, and then the real deal one. Both were tasty, but especially the Thanksgiving day one. It was wrapped in bacon by Åsa, and isn't it the truth that bacon makes everything taste good.
Today's apple pie was not wrapped in bacon. The crust (all butter, no shortening) turned out good. But the apples were the wrong kind (Mcintosh). Mcintoshes turn into mush when baked. Tasty mush, but mush all the same. So I googled what apples to use, and now I know to look for Jonathan, Stayman-Winesap, Cox's Orange Pippin, or Jonagold.
Apple pie and turkey aside, what happened to the indigenous peoples of the Americas may turn Thanksgiving into a day of mourning. Winners write history, and they make up the holidays too.
