Happy Thanksgivin’, y’all

Nov 26, 2009 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Food, Friends & Family, Holidays, Photos, The Husband

This is our first year that Kevin and I will attend Thanksgiving as a married couple and we’re bringing his grandmother’s famous chocolate pie with it. I don’t know if I am free to give the recipe out for this one. It’s probably some big family secret. But I’ll give you a clue. There are basically two ingredients. You just have to know how to mix them and how to tell when it’s perfect to pour. Oh, and you have to be an accomplished meringue maker.

I love the word meringue. Is it just me? Look at it. MERINGUE.

And the peaks. I love it when the meringues begin to peak. Only that by the time I’ve got them doing their thing I no longer have any muscle control in my right arm from the vibration of the hand mixer. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrweeeeeeeee! (Hand mixer sound.)

Oh yum!!! That looks so divine! I love the family recipes that are so good you don’t really want to give them up. I have one called Crack pie with Ritz crackers. It may or may not already be out there, but it is so good!

Er, Cracker pie! Not crack pie…that wouldn’t be good. (for someone maybe, I suppose!)
