Gotta find some Delaware Punch, too. And maybe some of that Arizona tea. Canned.

Does anyone have a wine recommendation? Does it need to be a dessert wine? Maybe Canadian Icewine?

That's what I believe goes with anything. :)

If you don't feel that $125+ a bottle is something you should spend, I recomend a good shiraz.

14. Yup! I took a poll earlier today and I will be baking a sweet potato and an apple pie
tomorrow. I'm sharing my Grandma's crust recipe tonight too. Here it is for posterity's sake:

Mary's Grandma's Never Fail Pie Crust

4 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Salt
1 Table Spoon Sugar
Mix those three ingredients and cut in:
1 3/4 cups of Unsalted BUTTER

In a separate bowl, mix together:
1 egg
1 Tablespoon Vinegar
1/4 cup of ice cold water (you can add more COLD water as needed)

Use a fork to work this into the flour and butter mixture. Don't work it too much. Roll into a ball and refrigerate for 1/2 to one hour.

Roll out and use!!! :) It's Yummy! You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days, or you can freeze it. If you're going to freeze it, I suggest rolling it out first to make it easier on yourself later.

23. I'm actually baking mine tonight, so I can run over right after work
to my friends' place with the bottle of champagne. I'll make the whipped cream in the AM and hold it in the fridge. Chop up a few pecans to sprinkle on top.

25. Okay, okay...I have to come clean. WTF is all this talk about pie?
I've been seeing it on DU for some time now. I obviously missed something, somewhere, and I've frankly been embarrassed to admit it. WHAT GIVES???? :-)

There aint nobody looking back again.
Alabama

Very appropriate I think!
