So how many pies do you have to bake ???? ......(and please check out a worthy cause)

Happy Thanksgiving Eve Blogland Neighborhood ! Are you all busily baking pies and other goodies for tomorrow's big feast ?


Here at the MBIAJ "test kitchens" we (well mostly Evan, our Chef in Training) are making a mess and baking up some very yummy desserts for tomorrow..... (here's Evan modeling the "Chef Curly" apron .....)




....and here he is hard at work making a Fuji Apple Rum cake and a pumpkin cheesecake ...... (I can't tell you how DELICIOUS it smells here in the "test kitchen" !!!!)











Now since it is the start of the holiday season we know how many worthy and deserving charities and causes there are out there in the real world .... all of which request a little extra help at this time of the year. We would like to ask you to consider helping out NEDA , the National Eating Disorder Association. Someone very near and dear to our hearts has recently been affected by this heartbreaking and frustrating disorder which has very serious medical consequences if they do not receive the help they need. Please consider bidding on the online auction NEDA is having through Dec. 2nd.

The MBIAJ Sewing Dept has donated an adult sized apron and matching chef hat (well, we just submitted it .... so we haven't heard yet if these things will be accepted for the auction ) .... either way, please check out the auction anyway and bid on some of the many great items that are listed. In this way, you will be helping out those who are hungry but are unable to eat.





......and....LOOK !!! the yummy desserts are out of the oven and are absolutely GORGEOUS !!!! and there's Evan the Chef posing with his creations (which he made completely by himself) .....saying "ah shucks ... it was easy!"








Well, time to supervise the kitchen clean up !!!! We here at MBIAJ Headquarters wish you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Be back soon!
Toodles,
