New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
It's got whipped cream with it...
can we go yet? can we go yet? can we go yet?
I'm all for it.
Ain't no such thing as pee-cans in the South. We gots puh-cahns, though.;o)
All my Girl Scouts know how to say the word properly because when they were doing their 'Cooking' Interest Project work, they had to learn to make foods from 'another culture'. The Troop Leader asked if I'd help out, (since Mississippi is such a foreign land to these Yankees) so I taught the girls to make Gumbo, Jambalaya, and Buttermilk Biscuits, and instructed themin the correct way to say the word 'pecan'.
I've never had mincemeat pie in my life! Mama always made Pecan, Sweet Potato, sometimes Pumpkin and always Lemon Icebox Pies, but never Mincemeat.
I LOVE Sweet Potato Pie, with just a splash of Bourbon in it. I make a Sweet Potato Souffle that, when eaten leftover and cold, tastes for all the world like Sweet Potato Pie without the crust.
I guess you've never eaten at a Shoney's.
If you're ever heading up our way, just let me know and I'll cook up a pot for you!
Mom did mincemeat on occasion but with there was pecan and sweet potato to be had it was never very popular.
I'm outta here. Gots to get Jr. to the game...
You really want me to? Cuz I could.... but then we'd get on the subject of embarrassing freepmails and let's not go there, ok? ;-)
First one would be appropriate if we'd met at Entmoot, that was the Entmoot anime. Resulted in Rosie's van being renamed.
Second one has better characters though. Kaname is much less wimpy than Hitomi. And she smacks people with her paper fan.
I say "puh-cahn"... must be my Virginia mother's influence. Or possibly my English grandmother, that's the way she says it.
Anyway I don't care how it's called, just how it tastes.
Guilty as charged. :-)
I'd like to try one though!
Or tazers their punk@##
I guess! My mom grew up in Northern Va and Dad grew up all over the place. I think Mom's still more what Corin would call a Yankee though.
Mostly it's a prime holiday staple because someone made the mistake of making it for me once :-D
Wish I had time to cook one using family recpies for turkeyday. I doubt they will let me take one on the plane.
