Chick Fil A. none better.

BerkelMan could you share your recipe for Hoosier Cream Pie. I've been trying to recreate based on my mother-in-law's recipe of "this and that" and i'm not quite there. (also off topic .. Indiana Stromboli ROCKS! I still think back wistfully to ones I use to get in high school).

On topic: Will bake my own pies, pecan and pumpkin, but I cheat on the crust.

ditto. i don't mind mixes.. but $11 for a brownie mix. no.

Pralines. "Just like my mamma made them!" Now IMHO when you can actually make somethin' like mamma. That's good eats!

I come from a large Family so the married kids are urged to spend Thanksgiving Day with their in-laws and such and our family gets together on Saturday.

However I found out that on Thanksgiving Day they had no one to share the day with as they were working on the Saturday party and they ate at Waffle House (not that there is anything wrong with that!) But since that day I have the anti-Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday for the 4 of us and who ever else needs a place to land. I enjoy cooking for a SMALL group and I let my mom handle the LARGE group on Saturday . (We all pitch in with sides btw)

On Thanksgiving we get a yummy Beef Tenderloin and as a homage to Thanksgiving, Pumpkin Roll and Cheescake (this year low-carb).

Mom enjoys the day as she gets treated to an excellent meal (on her wedding china that I inherited from her) and I love giving THANKS for such wonderful parents, and enjoying them all by myself before I have to share them on Saturday with the Sibs!

As always, the flavor/quality out ranks creepy-ness. But I like the subtlety of Devil's Food Cupcakes -- besides they are chocolate and cake -- really can't go wrong.

I don't have the patience/time for the candy corn .. probably because it is not one of my favorite things; you know like cake!

I'm in love....

does it look like this?

Well I can get to Cleveland for Corned Beef Hash, maybe not Portland 8-)..

However is your boyfriend's dad givin' up the Cheesecake recipe? I really like "eye closing" cheesecake!

@squeezebottle: My mom asked me the other day why I liked oysters, I told her if you've only have oysters from a little white container, you've NEVER had oysters.

When I went to the aebelskiver site, all the pans I looked at said "not for FLAT TOP ELECTRIC stoves". So sad.. that is what I have. Is that because it's cast iron? Because I do use cast iron on my flat/electric stove, but i'm very very careful 8-)

A really good cookie.
