My oven is fixed!

My hubby is so adorable! I have worried all week and priced stoves (this made me realize I cant afford a new/used stove) when he came home Tuesday night he took my stove apart and ran into town and got the parts. One of the wires in the back shorted out and also the lower element went out all the in the same week but he managed to repair/replace both (lucky they were in stock) now I can bake and use my stove top again Yay! Just in time for Thanksgiving :) This has made me realize I need to start a new envelope for appliance repair or replacement..... My brother dropped off 2 huge pumpkins last week and since my stove was broke I just looked at them all week :) With my oven repaired I  managed to get one worked up yesterday, I canned 7 quarts for pies and I froze 6 quarts for fried pumpkin along with all the cooking for Thanksgiving. :)

They are both huge....I will get the other one done today. I love fried pumpkin more than pie so I think I'll make most of tomorrow's into that, its actually faster than canning anyway. There is nothing better to me than fried pured pumpkin cooked in butter, Cinnamon and brown sugar on a hot homemade biscuit YUM! Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! :)

Walk in the woods and Raspberry Pie

Hubby and I were out walking in the woods yesterday and guess what we ran across?

Yup! A Raspberry bush yah! So....we picked just enough for a Raspberry pie, I love living on a farm in the middle of the woods, you never get board because there is always another surprise waiting just around the corner!  :)  Oh and the Raspberry pie was soooo good!
