Foo - Pie, what kind are you making?

I just baked an apple pie(from scratch), and now the galley is a freakin' mess.

What kind of pie are you baking for Thanksgiving?

I'm making graham cracker tiramisu...not exactly a pie, but easy and delicious. Too lazy to make anything else.

Mushroom pie (as an appetizer) and pecan pie bars.

We got a new probie in the firehouse whose dad cooks CRAZY GOOD apple pies, and he dropped off a couple last night. and they were good. and i wonder why i'm getting fat. but they were soo good though.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmapple piemmmmmmmmmmm*homer voice*

2 pumpkin, 1 apple and 1 cherry.

I do it the busy working-mom way, canned filling and box crust... :(

This is the first Thanksgiving since Grandma passed away and it's going to be hard. She always made like 10 pies from scratch, making sure she had at least one of everyone's favorite (mine is pecan). So this year, not so good :(

Not making. But definitely eating:

The Toll House Cookie Pie

My mother makes a couple each year and, good golly Miss Molly, this thing is good.

My wife order 2 from a local bakery (yes, a real bakery, not the grocery store bakery!): apple (my favorite) and chocolate pecan. <drool>

there sure are a lot of pie threads around Foo.

I'm making banana cream pie. mmmm!

apple with a nice lattice crust on top.

I won't be making pie, but I'll be making for my (almost) girlfriend:

(Whole grain rotini with sauteéd mushrooms, basil and maybe tomato sauce or light alfredo)

and for my family, I'll probably make:

and possibly:

(Pastelitos, though ours look much better than the ones above)

MrCrassic, those all look good. Mind PMing me the recipes?

no pie. I'm not a pie person, nor do I like to bake. Mom's buying a half a pumpkin pie - I may have a slice - but for breakfast. Usually too full after a big meal to stuff down dessert.

I'm making a pumpkin pie - from scratch. Have to butcher the pumpkin this evening. Will make some pumpkin bread to freeze too.

Oh - we will be making sweet potato casserole!!!!

I told my wife the other day that I would never want to give up good southern cuisine. I don't care where we lived, or what strict diet I'm on, I have to haves me some.

yum! That sounds so good...recipe?:)

Couple of boxes of chocolate graham crackers (don't worry about getting too many--get a lot!)
4 packs of cream
400 g can condensed milk
Instant coffee (I use plain old nescafe) and cinnamon powder to taste
Optional: any fruit; today I'm using canned peach slices
.
Mix the cream and the condensed milk, adding coffee and cinnamon powder to taste. Whip well--you want it to be stiff enough to support graham crackers. In a square shaped container (hopefully one that fits the graham crackers well, but if not, you can always cut em), place the graham crackers leaving no space at the bottom. Layer cream on top, then stack another layer of graham cracker and then the cream. Repeat until the cream runs out--last layer should be cream.

Grind a bunch of crackers into crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the cream, and put slices of your fruit right on top of the crumbs. Refrigerate overnight to set the cream and let the crackers absorb the cream and get spongy in texture. Voila, dessert. Serves 4-5.

I'm making two apple pies with habanero (suggested to me a few months ago by user Busted Knuckles and so good).

One is for my 1 pm thanksgiving dinner and the second is for my 6 pm thanksgiving dinner.:D I'll have to pace myself, but I think I can do it.

wow...that does sound easy (and yummy). I may even be able to try making that (I am hopeless in kitchen) for tomorrow...
Thanks!!:)

I'm making a citrus pumpkin pie, and I'm smoking a turkey (it's hard to keep it lit).

Pumpkin Cheesecake. I've established this as a Thanksgiving tradition at our place.

Punkin...cooking the punkin in the oven now, no cans.

Now I'd try that!

You're more than welcome to come over for a slice. We should have good riding weather this weekend too.

Oh. My. God.

Better than making myself - my mother is bring apple and pecan; my wife made pumpkin.

Work bought us pies. :) I do not have to cook one. I am roasting a 24 pound bird though, yum yum.

:( I'd like too! Mixing some nice weather riding with snow and slush works!

wow. Can I eat at your place?

5 pies at our dinner - apple, pumpkin, pecan, lemon meringue, ricotta. Apple, pumpkin, pecan = homemade.

I'm making a couple of sweet potato pies for Christmas (Thanksgiving was last month for us). I've never made or eaten a sweet potato pie but I love sweet potatoes and I love pie... how wrong could the combination be? Besides I'm the only person in my family who likes pumpkin pie (or pumpkin cheesecake. Hobartlemagne - that cheesecake looks amazing! *drool*).

I'm currently looking up sweet potato pie recipe online. My requirements? Has to be a genuine southern US recipe -- no cremé fraîche or spelt crust.

hey that WAS easy!:)

It Looks uber yummy! We used cherries in place of peaches and mixed chopped hazelnuts in with the crumb topping. I used The Clash's "Clampdown" as my graham cracker smashing soundtrack:thumb:

The real test will come if all our guests survive after eating something I made:o

Thanks again Nekohime!

Wife just finished baking her second pumpkin pie this week. I can't have any until tomorrow though. Hopefully my uncle will come through with his chess pie or maybe I will get lucky and mom made a caramel meringue pie using her mother's recipe.

Did you mean Cheese Pie? Those rooks can get stuck in your teeth pretty bad, you know.

punkin, maybe apple too

Oh,,,,I guess you didn't (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chess%20pie)

Oh drat. I couldn't find any sweet dried cherries. I'm down to one pie, pumpkin-hazelnut.

I might have to make a blueberry.

Or a nectarine (from my home-canned nectarines).

Or... choooocolate.

Raw pumpkin and not raw pumpkin. :) Both are made from real pie pumpkins and they are so much better that way. I love eating the seeds afterward. Joe's pumpkin pie (not raw) I made by baking the pumpkin in the oven and then pureeing afterward. With my pie (raw) I cut the pumpkin up into small pieces and blended it up in the food processor.

Chess Pie is another name for Buttermilk Pie.
It is wonderful stuff.

I'm intrigued - the wife who is a food nerd didn't know Chess pie either....I'm wondering if it is a variant pronounciation of cheese?

hold on - voila!

Wikipedia (fwiw):
The pie seems to have no relation to the game of chess, which has led to much speculation as to the origin of this term. Some theorize that the name of the pie traces back to its ancestral England, where the dessert perhaps evolved from a similar cheese tart, in which the archaic "cheese" was used to describe pies of the same consistency even without that particular ingredient present in the recipe. In North Carolina and Old Salem Cookery, Elizabeth Hedgecock Sparks argues that the name derives from Chester, England. One folk etymology suggests that it was referred to as "just pie", which soon shortened to "jus' pie" and then corrupted to "chess pie". There is also a theory that the word "chess" pie comes from the piece of furniture that was common in the early South called a pie chest or pie safe. Chess pie may have been called chest pie at first because it held up well in the pie chest.

I love this stuff!
