We celebrated yesterday as well. Dinner was a comedy of errors. David wanted some Scottish Oatmeal dressing, but when we checked, we had no oatmeal. There was a tv show to watch at 2:30, but as soon as it was over at 3:00, off we went to the grocery store, then stopping for coffee and getting home about 4:00. Immediately the dressing was prepared and put in the oven, but as we only made 1/2 a batch, I overestimated the amount of water, and it was almost soupy going in the oven. The chicken was quite small, and we knew it would take less time than the dressing, so it went in 45 minutes later. The chicken was cooked in about an hour. The dressing wasn't cooked for over 2 hours. So we ate chicken, waited quite awhile and ate dressing, waited awhile longer and had our pie. A very nice pie, very tasty. Overall the meal took almost two hours to eat. There was a football game on, as well as my usual Saturday night programs, so David ate in the living room and I ate in the basement.
I had also discovered that I had no icing sugar to add to the 'whipped cream, so made it without. I think it was much better that way. the blander taste was a nice contrast to the pie.
Then we were both up during the night with upset stomachs. Morning came too early today. The left over dressing was so awful given the extra liquid, and the chicken was so tiny, that there weren't enough leftovers for today's supper. But there was pie!
