Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
Bread from scratch. Used M.B.'s no-knead, but it turned out fabulous. Everyone was amazed.

My grandmother's pound cake. Best I've ever had. We've tried to duplicate it, but even using her recipe, something's different.

Sounds beautiful.... bacon, sausage, ohh my!
I fancy this recipe and am certain to have it at my Thanksgiving table.
Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon
OMG, this is definitely going to be the dressing for us this Thanksgiving. I've been doing a cornbread, smoked sausage, and herb dressing for he last few years, but the sausage always steals the show. It's delicious, but I like to taste turkey too.

I made walnut brownies with walnuts that had secretly gone bad...it was a giant inedible pan of musty, nasty brownies. Sick and so, so sad.

As a kid, my best friend and I made sugar cookies. She read the ingredients as I incorporated them. She read off 1/4 cup of salt, I then asked her if she read that right because that was a lot of salt. She insisted she was correct and I added that amount in. Once the cookies had baked, we couldn;t wait to try them, we each took a bite and spit them out. She was wrong, it was 1/4 tsp salt!

My most triumphant baking success was making brownies for my friend.

no disasters but I haven't tried to make anything that seems too complicated for me, I guess the triumph would have to be making pound cakes, just because I had to make them with a hand mixer

My most disasterous was when I was about 8 or 9, I deceided to make my mother a surprise cake. I got up about 4 in the morning and decided to make of all things a chiffon cake. Well it calls for lots of eggs and etc. When that cake came out it was flat as a pancake and I cried and cried, but my mother said it was the thought that counted, but she was not happy I had used so many eggs.

My greatest success was the first time I made bread. I was inspired by a retired pro-wrestler (yeah, a "wrassler") interviewed in the student newspaper. He baked bread, read classic literature and was a tour guide at the local zoo. If he could do it, I could do it. And it did.

Oh, just pick me, I always enter and never win, but this book I REALLY want. I now live in the south (KY) and really need to show up my next door neighbor, she's just a little too cocky about her pies. And I'm telling you, they aren't that good. This old lady needs to be taken down a couple of notches!

I made an apple pie in college from apples grown on my parent's farm for a girlfriend. It came out quite well.

My baking disaster was the time I made a red velvet cake and forgot to put in the baking powder. I ended up with a 1/2 inch thick red, tough cake. It didn't taste bad, but the texture was horrible.

My greatest baking success is finally learning how to make my great grandmother's pie crust using her method. It took me awhile, and I had a few of my greatest disasters during the process (including a pie crust that literally disintegrated and became part of the filling), but I've finally gotten the feel for it. I hope it makes her proud.

I have an old Hershey's cookbook that produces marvelous results every time. I make a great chocolate cake with a little strong, black coffee added for flavor.

Disaster? The typical adding salt instead of sugar - yes, I did it! Oh my!

My parents and grandparents were meeting my fiance for the first time - I was preparing my FIRST Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people.....guess who forgot to put sugar in the pumpkin pie? They never let me forget it - 25 years later!
