If anyone is locationless for T-day by the way, mi casa es su casa. I have a guest room and the day will be my parents and me and mac (mac mostly not engaging with anyone). Parade will be watched as will the dog show and also probably football. There is no shopping on T-day in my world and no Black Fridayness either (most likely) although if you are into that I am willing to do ridiculous things.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

Hey. New board.
My family is a big fan of cranberry jello "salads" that can be made to various levels of sweetness. Most recipes definitely hit the dessert level of sugar (my wife often cuts out 2/3 or more of the sugar to serve with the turkey). The one she makes is very similar to this one [link] but with no celery and strawberry jello.

Hey. New board.
The only thing I'm eating after the dinner itself though is Cooks Illustrated Best Pumpkin Pie (the complicated one with both pumpkins and yams) made with the Food Lab's Easy Pie Crust and homemade whipped cream. I will have one pie, everybody else can share the other one.

Trader Joe's has a frozen gluten free pie crust now, and I'm going to make a test pumpkin pie with it this weekend to see how it is. Tim is very happy to get bonus pie.

I always make this pie [link] and it's pretty amazing.
(I use that for the filling--I do something else for crust.)

I usually make at least 2 pies, one of them maple/walnut (or maple/pecan) but this year I'm hosting for only 3 people, so I think just a single apple pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We'll be 10-12 people, and will likely have pumpkin pie, apple pie, chocolate mousse pie, pecan pie, and whatever I make.

I usually make a pumpkin pie with more of a mousse-y texture, and then put it in a ginger snap-pecan crust. Usually with a little apricot jam between crust and pie, for tang and carmelizarkon.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't even care much about pie, but y'all are making me hungry.
Trying to focus on anything other than the mess Florida is making of voting again. At least I am getting some work and reading done.

Occasionally I fantasize about ejecting several states from the Union which would bring the average competence of America up a little... then I remember the people I do know who live in the various states and couldn't bear to do that to them.
I drove hard for 5 hours this morning... and grossed just $93. Which doesn't actually work out to be that much when you consider that I'm paying for my own gas, et cetera. Usually I get at least one considerable-sized fare that brings up the average. OTOH, passengers were pretty nice.
