Welcome to the bar and I think that we should go with Cassiemom's Peppermint Pattie and think about things to be thankful for.
I have a cornucopia of thoughts and the year ain't over yet!:)
Orc, get yer cotton picking fingers outta that pumpkin pie....it's for dinner.:eek:
I haven't started the baking yet, but am thankful for the friends and family we have around us!
I moved the Jack-O-Lanterns to the dumpster the other day, and there were a ton of fruitflies ... which is weird for mid-November here, but I guess it just has been too warm. We've had on odd, late autumn this year ...
:rolleyes: Yup Orc is at it again.. Well at least Orc did not sit on the pie like he did last year.. Boy Howdy was that a mess.. Remember we had to hose him off with the mega blaster.. :p
Anyways hows about a pumpkin froth with lots of mellows.. Yummss
I cheated this year and bought my pies from a local small bakery - Anita does amazing baked goods. Pumpkin, mincemeat and pecan... I'll make the fresh whipped cream for them, though! ;) Y'all want some?
I'll have a Peppermint Pattie in the meantime!
Mmmmmm - fresh mincemeat pie - doesn't get any better than that? It wouldn't be spiked with rum, would it??? - that's the only way it could be better. :D With or without the booze, I'll take a slice please. Coffee is on to go with pie, if anyone wants some. It will be a nice warmer-upper on this cold rainy (with some snow) day.
:) My Favorite Pie too.. Yumm yumm == Could Me & Orc haves some please..

I'll brew up another pot of tea, and hand over the jar of honey - you can doctor your portion up with whatever you'd like.
I have some lovely chai tea, but you probably couldn't even smell that right now, so we'll save that for later!
I'm with ya Moff - sniff, sniff - cough, cough - sneeze, sneeze. :eek: I don't do tea. I wonder if coffee with Baileys would help? Or maybe I should make it Baileys with coffee??? I'm bound to feel better if I get enough Baileys in me. :D Coffee's on - come join me. I promise I won't sneeze in anyone's direction. Happy weekend everyone.......
G'morning y'all! I have coffee as well, served one of our houseguests throat coat tea before she and her daughter went out to Stevenson University for the day; what shall we have for breakfast? I'm in the mood for a scone - any takers?
If you bake, I'll do some pork products and chicken by-products.:eek:;)Quote:

The Thursday's medcal tip of the week?
When I got the flu, I'd make sure I had enough shots of liquor to make me pass out, If I was going to wake up feeling nasty, I may as well have fun?
:eek:
---------------------
I am going to clean off the main table so we can all chop, dice and prep our meals for the next week.
I am a total stuffing pig and am tasked w/cooking the meal this time out......
pray for me!:eek:
Let me pour some water and shots.
Any pie still left?
DONE!
A man I know swears having a shot of brandy helps cure his cold every time ... I have yet to convince him that is NOT the cure for me or one I'll recommend to anyone! I think it just gets him tipsy enough to not notice the cold as much!
Oh, so many temptations this week... I can't say no to a scone and a slice of pecan pie is to die for! I have a recipe for it I'll have to try soon. The thing is, pecans are hard to get here.
As for drinks... I won't touch whisky, but a drop of Grand Marnier in my coffee will go down well. ;)
Karen, we've had the same kind of autumn here, it's simply amazing! Last year, we had snow in November. :eek:
MOFF, a drop of Rum in your tea might do the trick. ;) Feel better soon - and you too, Pomtzu!
We don't do Thanksgiving here, but still, I'm thankful for our new government. :)
I think I'll brew some peppermint tea. Now the very thought of food turns me green. :love:
Hope you feel better soon, moff!
Our cure over in Germany was HOT ginger brandy. clears the sinuses and makes you sleepy. Like NyQUil without the really nasty taste.
I'll bring the rolls, is there still any of the mincemeat left? Due to a lack of guests this year we're cutting it down to 3 pies, I'm going without my mincemeat. :(
Awww, maybe at Christmas we can have mincemeat pie, LH!
I will be making pumpkin cookies, toll house cookies (minus the nuts), and brown sugar bunnies - but using the turkey shape cookie cutter of course for most of them for Thanksgiving.
I'll roll up my sleeves and get my knife out to start chopping and dicing. I LOOVVE stuffing - I think its my favorite part of the meal - (along with the spuds and gravy :D)
Of course there's mincemeat left! It's going fast, though, you better hurry! ;)Quote:

What kind of meat is a mince meat pie made of?
:)
---------------
LOL, My roomie has discouraged me from cooking this time out.
I am relagated to making stuffing.:mad:
I can handle rejection, I know I can......
Let me pour some drinks and cut some pie..
Done.
Original/authentic MM had beef or venison in it, tho "modern" MM that you buy commercially in the grocery store, doesn't. Probably the only way you would get any with meat, would be to make it yourself from scratch, or find some at a farm market.Quote:

Whatever was handy, traditionally. Chop it up, add all the other stuff and you have mincemeat pie! But usually it was beef, sometimes pork.Quote:

All yummy with a cup of tea or coffee - your beverage of choice!
Cookies.....though after a piece of pumpkin and a piece of custard pie, probably the last thing I need.
I'll share the spice cookies as well, and a cup of coffee.
(Shhhh.... I think Orc celebrated a little too hard, he's curled up with LOK on the couhc!)
One of my favorite Holiday leftovers! Crescent rolls split in half toasted with butter, sugar and cinnamon - YUM! I have some with coffee -any takers? I'll be shopping Black Friday on line today. ;)
I'll join you - sounds good.Quote:
