However, it's hard to pull that off when I'm in the grocery store or walking down the street. ;-) Kate -- Kate Connally “If I were as old as I feel, I’d be dead already.” Goldfish: “The wholesome snack that smiles back, Until you bite their heads off.” What if the hokey pokey really *is* what it's all about? |

My family is a pumpkin pie kind of crowd. Actually, this year we're not having a centralized family Thanksgiving, at all. I'm going to be at a Science Fiction Convention in Maryland, and will be enroute for most of Thanksgiving Day. (I live on the West Coast.) My sister is staying up in Weaverville, and my Mom is going to visit my brother and sister-in-law in Florida as a direct cause of my and my sister's absences. So what I wrote before is what we USUALLY have every year, but are not actually eating this time around. Melissa |

There are such people, they are usually called "alcoholics". None at my table this year, although we might think we are after our holiday imbibing. They all wish they weren't "whatever". Actually, it was a big advance for fishitarian to discover she could eat fish. Her hippie parents raised her vegetarian so she couldn't eat meat if she wanted to. Otherwise I just tell people what's safe for them. We decided to bag on the dressing. I don't like it and a number of my guests can't eat it. Charlotte -- |

I tried a couple of times to make lemon meringue pie, & failed
 Ifollowed a good recipe carefully too. I'm thinking of buying a mix & adding zest to it. But it would be great to learn how to make it from scratch. Any tips?

It's the same basic method from scratch as it is with a package. The package just gives you the cornstarch and sugar along with the artificial flavouring and colouring. Heat it up and stir constantly until it thickens. Let it cool off before putting it in the pre cooked pie shell. Whip up the egg whites with a bit of Cream of Tartar and add the sugar and beat into stiff peaks. I usually find two egg whites not to be enough so I use a third one. Slather the meringue on top of the pie and bake it until the meringue starts to brown nicely. IMO, it is one of the easiest pies to make. |

IMO, THIS is the best lemon pie:
3 eggs, separated 1 can Eagle Brand 1/2 C. lemon juice Zest of 1 lemon. Mix egg yolks, Eagle Brand, juice and zest together. Pour into baked pie shell. Top with meringue made w/the 3 egg whites.

I always thought dressing was stuffed inside the turkey, and stuffing was prepared on the outside. When you 'dress a turkey,' -- isn't that how dressing got its name? Karen |

But, even though I can't be bothered with the distinction, stuffing is stuffed into the turkey, and dressing is cooked on the side. Me, I call it all stuffing. nancy |

The filling! It was runny, therefore it wasn't a pie, LOL.

I think you're right about the feathers being dressed... I am thinking the stuffing vs. dressing is like pop vs. soda. It depends on where you're from and sometimes they overlap. For example, I bet the folks at Windsor Castle don't use the term "stuffing" whether it's cooked inside or outside of the turkey. I bet it's always called "dressing." I think dressing can be stuffed and stuffing can be dressing. Karen |
