Thanksgiving Countdown

I've made the cranberry relish.


And my pie crusts are done.


The rolls are made.


And the gravy is finished.


The turkey is about to go into the brine.


And the bread has been cubed for the stuffing.


So, I decided to make another savory pie!


This is a Cheshire cheese and onion pie with a cheddar crust.


Potatoes are sliced thin and layered on the pastry in a pie pan.


Then a mixture of sliced shallots, crumbled Cheshire cheese, sour cream, chives, mealy potatoes sliced thin and salt and pepper is spread between each potato layer. This is baked for 1 1/2 hours. The smell is almost better than the taste.

Nummers! I can imagine your T-giving is quite the affair. Hope you get some pic's. I'm going to try to remember to photograph mine. My family always had the tradition of bringing in singles we know and folks who can't be with family. I always make way too much and then send them home with leftover containers. This year's pies; rum brownie, pumpkin cheesecake, and apple crumble. I usually do my Appalachian butterscotch pie as one of them, but it doesn't travel well because of the thick meringue. I bet Teddy is excited for some turkey yum yums! Hope you have a great holiday!

Almost as many turkeys as pumpkins!

Now you won't have the pie for Thanksgiving....oh well, you'll have to eat it!
I agree with Birgit, I should not visit your blog when I am hungry....that pie sounds divine!!! Thanks for sharing, have a great Thanksgiving.

Cheers!

Oh you poor dear, slaving away in the kitchen! I feel for you. Thank the pagan turkey god, this is my year off of kitchen duty!!! But I do have to eat my sister-in-law's turkey (I wonder what "fanciful" twist she will try this year?). I have made a similar pie with English cheddar, lots of onions, and a dark brown ale reduction. Your's looks equally fantastic!
