Vielen Dank, Bürger!
Classic pie blunder. accidentally used sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated. The pie will be sweet.
Mrs. Runner has been fighting the oven; the sugar on top of the deep dish apple pie got a little burned. I'm prepared to demonstrate that it just doesn't matter.
NBBW was making a corn-3-ways dish (family favorite) usually can of cream corn, can of regular corn, and Jiffy cornbread mix. We had frozen corn, so she dumped out the cream corn, then reused the same can to put in the frozen corn kernels, then poured the melted butter over the frozen corn and the butter solidified into a corn/butter brick.
Recipie I used called for the condensed. I upped the spices a little accordingly. Compared to my M.I.L.'s, there was more flavor, in a good way.
Tragic pie blunder: forgetting to take it out of the freezer before dinner
Yea, it's a frozen pie. It's still pie.
You know, I don't mind at all putting in the effort to make Thanksgiving food. But the cleaning up part afterward sure takes forever.
Opposite for us this year, with just two of us and not using the good china... snap!
Was watching "The Natural" on MLB, and lo and behold there's Buxton meditating through a High Heat commercial
Our last few Thanksgivings have been remembered for one food blunder or another. Mine was the mashed potato soup a few years back, and last year it was a debatably undercooked turkey. But this year we got everything just right. Turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, fresh veggies and dill dip, dinner rolls, and sundry relishes. A Starling Castle Riesling to drink, pumpkin and pecan pie with coffee for afters. Mrs. Twayn's mom didn't do any cooking and doesn't have people over anymore so we took her a nice dinner, and my family did a 12-party Zoom call after our dinner. It was as nice a holiday as one could expect in these times, I think. Hope y'all had good days.
