The McDonald's pie has not been the same since they went from frying it to baking it. If you want a good fast food pie, I'd go with Hardees where they fry (at least I think they do) the apple pie for crispy goodness.

I'm confused about the concept of leftovers...

pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin bread pudding, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin everything really...

Anything I bake is probably a disaster, but that I why I let my wife do all the baking.

@kitchengeeking: I grew up similarly, except I spent all day crabbing as a kid from the end of our dock. Also, we called them Blue Crabs, but mostly because we weren't in Maryland.

I think I threw most of them back, but on days where I had big catches on the string and the pots were full, we'd have a big feast. Those were good times.

Yes. I love cake. I can't pick just one, but my wife would pick carrot cake.

I'm a fan of the burrito, but my wife would prefer that I were not.

In college I used to crave a smokey big bite at 7-11 at around 1-2AM frequently. I would go with a friend and walk up to the 7-11 through most kinds of weather. It was so bad that even the officer working the beat there recognized us and offered rides back to the dorm on particularly bad weather nights.

None really. My wife is completely scared of making bread but she really wants to. Win or not, this book might be a good option for us.

So this is basically a homemade Fresca?

I tried making cornbread using as few dishes as possible to make cleanup easy (I lived in a tiny apartment at the time). So I figured I'd mix the whole thing in the baking dish and pop it into the oven. You can see where this is going -- the cornbread stuck to the pan because I completely forgot the minor detail of greasing the pan. And while I had fewer dishes, I spent most of the night scrubbing at the sink.

Sugar Free Rice Pudding isn't so bad.
