Thanksgiving in Guatemala

I had almost forgotten about Thanksgiving this year, given that I had no holiday-oriented plans. My mom, kindly sent me a card to read today, but other than that, my only focus for Thursday the 25th of November was going into Guatemala City to meet Luis. So when I was subtly asked to help make some pumpkin pies, I was caught off guard, but agreed. Turns out, despite the fact that I offered an hour of my time, this turned into a real big baking deal. We made 6 pies, and had enough leftover cooked squash and filling for at least another dozen. Pumpkins were't available, so we used giant greenish squashes, which when cooked tasted pretty sweet like pumpkin. I want to write a whole new blog post on the restaurant that needed the 6 pies, but that's for another day.
