I made a couple of peanut butter pies for Thanksgiving, but I think my favorite is pecan. Mincemeat seems to have gone the way of fruitcake. You hardly ever see it anymore, but when it's good, it's very good.
changing my signature to change our luck.
I didn't get one darn pie at my house, none. wife and daughter decided on something else, but I really wanted a homemade pecan pie, or pumpkins pie, or that peanut butter pie catfan talkeda bout, cocunut custard would have been great, chocolate pie, coconut cream pie. Just any stupid darn pie, it was Thanksgiving, you are supposed to have pie.
We made an old fashioned deep dish apple pie and 2 chess pies yesterday morning to take to the gathering. Both recipes inherited from my Grandmother, a true southern cook. (have to use lard in the crust, and pie sell, no vegetable shortening would do for Grandma) My personal favorite is coconut cream pie, and wouldn't you know it, there was not one in sight yesterday.

I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.
My mother made the best Chess Pie I ever tasted. The only pie she made better than the chess was her lemon meringue. The lemon flavor was perfect and she would take a meat platter and hand beat the egg whites into giant peaks. I wish I had gotten her recipes before she died.Originally Posted by dan_bgblue

My wife makes a lemon chess for my birthday. It's an old Morton's Gap recipe. But a perfect almost jelly-like chess under a layer of pecans is hard to beat. I'm still looking for that perfect coconut custard recipe.
No pie here either, darn it! Usually my wife will make a chocolate pecan pie, but wasn't able to this year for some reason. Hmmmm.......maybe because I didn't ask for it, maybe?
I'll have to rectify that situation at Christmas. And no coconut pies of any sort here either, because I'm allergic to coconut now. Used to eat lots and lots of Mounds bars when I was a kid growing up, but found out while I was in the Army that I have allergies to some different things, coconut being one of them. Extremely rare too, as I understand it, maybe just a handful of people in the enitre world allergic to it. And naturally, I would have to be one of the chosen few..........go figure, huh?
I almost single handedly wrecked a chess pie yesterday. It was a struggle, but I perservered.
You guys are really ticking me off.
My wife made her late Ma (grandmother)'s transparent pie. Buttery, sugary deliciousness.

^^ what is this transparent pie you speak of? Sounds delicious .
Our gathering included my wife's nieces coconut cream pie which is the best I've ever had including my grandmothers. I've been asking for chess pie but still haven't gotten one.

Chess pie....yum....I will have to remember to ask my wife to make that for Christmas. If I don't remember to ask her, it doesn't get made.
We had something new we haven't had before, and it was quite good- "pumpkin roll," I think it is called. Basically pumpkin bread with cream cheese icing infused in the middle of it. It's fresh basked loaf of pumpkin bread, just with the cream cheese icing kicker.
Delicious. We had two loaves, and the first one is gone, and we're into the second one already.
Would love to hear more about this...sounds intriguing.
Missy's Pie Shop here makes a dang good one. I"ll try to extract the recipe from them.
Had an awesome cheesecake made with pumpkin in it as well. It was fabulous and I don't like sweets much at all.
My grandmother would make the family recipe coconut cake. Everyone who's had it thinks it's the best cake ever. My mom has managed to do it from the recipe, and I need to now learn.

Ooh, love the idea of that transparent pie recipe. I could even try that myself.
Finally got some pie, walked across the parking lot yesterday to our Beagle Bagel place and got a huge piece of chocolate cream pie. Ate it all myself, did not share with anyone.
I definitely got in on this one too late. Mother-in-law made a Chocolate Pie for whomever, a Chess Pie for my 11 year old son (who put a hurtin on it), and for her favorite son-in-law, she made a home made Carrot Cake. The woman makes the best damn carrot cake ever!!!
