Isn't that a mandatory thing with Thanksgiving dinners? Although one should NEVER have only one pie on the menu!

I just got back from the grocery store - got all the stuff together for the dishes I'm responsible for and then some. Relaxing this evening before things kick into high gear tomorrow night.
So whatcha cookin'?

I'm doing the pumpkin pie tomorrow, sisters are bringing cherry pie and pecan bars (like pecan pie but with only a small sliver of the goopy inbetween stuff). Used to have mince meat pie too but got to where no one was eating it anymore. I'd prefer apple but since I'm not eating that stuff anymore.... :rolleyes:

Mince meat like honest to god mince meat?:eek::D
Or mince meat like the Nunsuch mince meat filling?:confused::(
 
I wasn't upset when the mince meat pies stopped showing up at Thanksgiving. Can't feature anyone liking that.

However,........Pecan Rules!

Back in the day the Nonesuch mince meat was very different. It came in a hard block and you had to boil it with water, etc. Today's that comes in a jar is so ridiculously sweet no one (at least in my family) likes it anymore.

Honestly, the honest to god mince meat recipes are pretty interesting. But alas, I don't think I have it in me to make one of them.
 
Rhum.

Didja know that tequila was the result of Spaniards trying to make rhum without sugar cane and only having agave juice as a fermenting base?

Stores are closing fair early & you know there will be a last minute crush. Suggest you call your brother and on the down low, find out if they're missing/needing anything before you hit the road.
It's a big dinner, after all. Lots of details to track.
Well, yeah, I tried to tell him that, but ...well, it's their "first" Thanksgiving as husband and wife, so I'm just going to enjoy.

I might pick up the tequila... or rum... or whatever libation I can get my hands on prior to setting out. :p

Meh.. it's just apple, raisins, cinnamon, cloves and other such spices and molasses (maybe).. nothing too bad.

Oooh.. that reminds me. I make a delicious molasses cake... hmmm.
 
And in other news....

I just ordered two discontinued perfumes from ScentMasters...... hope they do a good job recreating my stuff.. I hate that you get a good fragrance (or two) and the company decides to d/c it.

*pout*

Awww.. let them enjoy their first one and don't sweat the small stuff. Even if something goes awry, it'll be a story to look back on and remember and chuckle about. :)

That's how I feel about lip color!! About the time I find one I love they quit selling it or change the formula. :rolleyes:

I've had a few mince meat pies that actually had meat in them. Best freaking mince meat pies evah!
I remember the Nonesuch bricks. Talk about stepping into the wayback machine!

From what I could remember as a youngster, making a real minced meat filling for a pie was a real chore. Lots of prep work that needed to be done a few weeks in advance.
 
Talking Thanksgiving cooking, maybe a little drinking, and mince meat pies.

Me, I'm just sipping the Crown Royal. And hiya, VG and VT!!;)
