a certain kind of broccoli casserole and these brussel sprouts sauteed with bacon and onions that are all to die for. I always do a (well 2, actually) bourbon pecan pie that always runs out and deviled eggs that are gone before we sit down to dinner. My SiL makes a fantastic cornbread stuffing, etc. That's the stuff *I* want for Thanksgiving. Crash feels the same way. I get kind of disappointed when somebody changes it up and doesn't make what I expect and want. :)

People are creatures of habit and derive comfort from the "known". I'm betting that your group loves your artichoke dip.

- I've offered to bring pie before (it's been years since I made my sweet potato pie) but Rene likes Costco pies - go figure :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 4, 20:29 3
  - Costco does make a good pumpkin pie. - Trish Nov 4, 20:38 2
    - is it possible to make a bad pumpkin pie? - stuffed pixie Nov 4, 20:40 1
      - My mother (aka the worst cook in the world) made them so anemic they were barely colored and didn't even taste of pumpkin. -- nm - Trish Nov 4, 20:52
