It's not worth it to make _______ when I could just buy it
Those of you who have given up on fresh pumpkin (I'm with you) should try sweet potatoes. There are plenty of sweet potato pie recipes out there that can easily take the place of pumpkin at the holidays. It will taste just different enough to make people take notice, but not enough that anyone will know it isn't pumpkin if they haven't had it before.
I'll vote for pasta. It may be worth it for VERY special occasions, but 99% of the time I'd rather focus on the sauce and sides.
Serious Cheese: Stoke the Holiday Fire with Président's Brie Log
My wife and I just tried this a few days ago and I'll agree with most of what's said in the article. For a mass market brie it isn't too bad, but the amount of rind really messes with the flavor and texture. It really is best for creating easy appetizers. Make sure you pair it with something suitably bold though, as it doesn't really stand up on its own.

My grandfather would take two pieces of bread, smothered each one with about 1/8" margarine, covered them with bacon bits (the crunchy artificial kind), added a slice of cheap bologna and american cheese. Made one at our college cafeteria in his honor once and almost gagged.
