Bake the Book: Coconut Cream Jar Pies

Same reason after watching "Pushing up Daisies I desperately wanted to make cup pies; because its adorable.
I tried out custard with light coconut milk and it was still lovely without the tongue coating "I think I am eating straight heavy cream" feeling.

10 Lbs of Sugar

Okay, maybe it was more. At least 5 lbs of flour and over 5 of sugar. Candy kills a bag of sugar fast.

10 Lbs of Sugar

Considering that 4 months includes Christmas and Thanksgiving that seems almost low. I know I went through 5lb between Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Perfect Thanksgiving Meal

My perfect Thanksgiving looks nothing like what we actually make. Mostly because I am in the minority and even though I cook I get outvoted. My favorite is mashed Potatoes and Gravy, apple and sausage stuffing with lots of celery and onions, creamed cauliflower, AB's honey brined smoked turkey( only turkey i have ever liked), jellied cranberry sauce from a can, roasted asparagus and sweet potato casserole with a little whip cream for dessert (the kind with pecans and brown sugar not marshmallows).

Fresh Water Or Salt, What Is Your Favorite Fresh Caught Fish?

I second snook; the best fish ever. When I was a kid my mom would fry it then make chowder out of the heads and bones. I think that was the biggest downfall of ever getting a computer; my dad stopped fishing.
