That's not a problem on Thanksgiving!My problem is, I don't think I have ever met a pie I didn't like.

I like cherry!Pumpkin, Apple, and Cherry Pie. Yum!!!
We used to have all three when the whole family was home for Thanksgiving.
I miss my mom's stuffing so much. I don't think she ever wrote the recipe down, at least I have never found one and none of my siblings have one. I have so many memories of the process, my favorite is the speckled metal roaster sitting out on the counter with heaps of bread drying out in it for a few days. It was delicious.Some of Thanksgiving traditions have changed or evolved over the course of the past 25 years due to life events (divorces, deaths, moves). I now use the same turkey platter, cranberry sauce dish and the same Tupperware container to store the leftover turkey in that my parents used when I was a kid. My homemade stuffing is my mom's recipe. Some of our current traditions are the ones I incorporated many years ago and they still hold strong every year like the homemade pepperoni bread, the pie recipes and of course watching the Thanksgiving day parade on TV
Agreed! Any pie that I didn't make is always a 10!My problem is, I don't think I have ever met a pie I didn't like.
Yup, bread chunks drying out are an iconic Thanksgiving memory for me too. Perhaps, you mom didn't have a written recipe--she just knew.I miss my mom's stuffing so much.

I think you are absolutely right, it was the same every year but I remember how she would comment on how much the necessary moisture could/would change from year to year and that she would taste test it alot as she went. She just knew what she was looking for. I also sometimes think dishes like dressing are better when made in larger quantities?Yup, bread chunks drying out are an iconic Thanksgiving memory for me too.

I can't either!Big milestone day coming. I can hardly imagine thinking of Thanksgiving being in under 200 Days! Have a great weekend!

It's my favorite.I like cherry!
Don't wink!Twenty weeks until The Bers? Wow, if time keeps going as fast as it has the last few weeks, we will be there in a wink of the eye.
I have a black speckled enamel roasting pan. Actually I have 5 oval ones all in different sizes. My mom had the rectangle one when I was a kid. Not sure where it ended up after my parents divorced. Do you recall what was in her stuffing? Was it an onion and celery stuffing? Thats what mine is. Does your mom have any sisters still around that may know the recipe?I miss my mom's stuffing so much.
