Pineappple pie is tops with me .... pumpkin a close second, but only during the holidays. Plenty of choices at our family dinner. We will have pumpkin, pecan, apple, cherry, raisin and pineapple. Yum!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Sweet potato with pecan streusel topping.

I hadn't thought about meat pies, but mmmmm! that would be delicious.

Chess pie sounds yummy, too . . . although it's a little too deep south for these here parts:

CHESS PIE
INGREDIENTS:
•1 8-inch pastry shell unbaked
•1 cup packed brown sugar
•1/2 cup sugar
•1 tablespoon flour
•2 eggs
•2 tablespoons milk
•1 teaspoon vanilla
•1/2 cup margarine melted
•1 cup pecan halves
PREPARATION:
•Mix the sugars and flour. Thoroughly beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla and margarine. (Don't use soft margarine.) Fold in the nuts. Halves are traditional but you can use chopped pecans.

•Pour into an unbaked pie crust and bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 40-50 minutes.

*Best served slightly warm with whipped cream.

Eventhough we left the States in 1975, we still celebrate thanksgiving with our friends, and my Mom always makes pumpkin pie. I love it. :D

My great grandmother used to make chess pie. Maybe I'll ask her to make one when she's here for Christmas. She still does a lot of baking, in her mid 90's.

I voted pecan.
We have so much pie going on here today though!

2 pecans-traditional. They were going to be made with duck eggs from the ducks down the street (for the benefit of our ethical vegan--kindly treated duck eggs=ok. grocery store hen eggs=not ok) but the ducks are presently moulting, not laying.)

1 vegan pumpkin pie. No eggs, will be more like a sweet potato pie, I'm guessing.

1 wheat-free crust apple pie for the visiting friend who is wheat intolerant.

1 traditional pumpkin, and 1 traditional apple supplied by the mom-in-law from her deluxe retirement community baking people.

The kid wants to make a cake in a miniature cake mold he bought at the church white elephant sale, which he plans to surround by cupcakes in some sort of weird crop-circle formation. Will try to convince him it would be best to hold off until the weekend.

I think I overdosed as a kid, so rhubarb doesn't hold as big an attraction anymore. We had raw rhubarb, stewed rhubarb, rhubarb jam, rhubarb pies, rhubarb with x pies (where x = strawberries, or raisins, or ... etc.). But if its in a pie, I guess I have no control. :D

Well I voted Lemon pie... but I like better the "chaja" pie... well, it's not actually a pie, it's more something like a desert from Uruguay.
If any of you go to Uruguay sometime, remember to order a Chaja! It's delicious! :)

I can not settle for one pie. In order of preference old fashioned home made Mincemeat pie and then a piece of Pumpkin with whipped cream. I remember my grandmother making the mincemeat, canning it, and then making the pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really miss that Mincemeat. My wife doesn't like it. nuff said.

I'm pleased with my meal ~ it was delicious, and all my "Boys" stuffed themselves silly...

And the Broncos won! :party:

Pretty soon it will be time for pie. It was a nice day.
