In reply to the discussion: Name your Thanksgiving dessert for tomorrow's dinner [View all]yellowdogintexas
(22,292 posts)We were planning our small dinner and I asked what he might want for dessert. I fully expected him to say chocolate pound cake as that is very traditional in our family - I take one to Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings when we have them. (not this year of course) So he surprised me with : Lemon bars ! Then he remembered how many the recipe makes so we discussed a lemon alternative - "The Lemon Thing" which is a lemon pudding cake which if you bake it in a deep container turns in to a souffle.
Next day he went over to our local dairy store to get milk and came home with a cherry pie and aerosol whipped cream. This particular brand of frozen pie is really really good. It is an indulgence to have it but I didn't have to bake either.
We always had pecan pie growing up. Nobody in our family liked pumpkin pie - I was up in my 20s before I ever tried it
