During the dotcom boom, I was having a New Year's party and I spent $300 there on cheese, bread, olives, lox, and, well, as I sit here rubbing sticks together trying to make fire, I look back on those memories to stay warm.
@If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Just lost my job and the only thing I could think of after I got fired was all those cab rides I've taken in the past year... #deananddelucathanksgiving
Last year I did a pre-thanksgiving dinner party for friends, and ma doing it again on Saturday. Full dinner for about 30 people, including vegetarian options, for about what two of those pies cost, probably less. And I did it with a kitchen that is literally 5 feet by 4 feet with the only counter space coming from a small rolling cart from Ikea
Why anyone would opt for this, I cannot understand #deananddelucathanksgiving
You know, most of these kinds of things sound good on paper...but when you have them, the flavors are too complicated together, or too sweet (I know, that shouldn't be possible, but it is). Simpler is usually better.
Personally, if I can get my dad to mail me his mincemeat pie (fruit, not actual meat) I will be very happy. That or the recipe.
How in the name of all things holy can one pie cost $65??? Seriously? For $65 I can make half a dozen pies and still have enough leftover to make a cake. #deananddelucathanksgiving
@CrankyOldBroad: those pies are aactually from little pie company (and a lot less expensive if you buy them from there directly), and i'd pay ANY price to have one at my front door right now (especially the apple sour cream walnut pie). food of the gods, ambrosia! #deananddelucathanksgiving
@CrankyOldBroad: Right?! Send me $5 and I'll make you a pecan pie from my Grammy's recipe... it's a bona fide southern family recipe and it will knock your socks off. #deananddelucathanksgiving
I can get a fresh 2olb, free-range, vegetarian fed, hormone free turkey at Trader Joe's for $35 dollars. Did I mention it's FRESH!!! Why pay four times that plus shipping? #deananddelucathanksgiving
my dad would spill drinks all over himself while snacking and watching thanksgiving football on TV. my mother called it her "pecan-covered, bourbon-soaked ham". he, however, was cheap. #deananddelucathanksgiving
@curiousgeorgiana: Much like the pilgrims and the Native Americans, I like to believe that for one day, Team Cake and Team Pie can sit together and share their bounties with one another. That is the true meaning of Thanksgiving. #deananddelucathanksgiving
OK, so I love cake in all of it's forms, but it has no place at Thanksgiving. I found a fudge pie recipe for Thanksgiving this year and it has changed my life. #deananddelucathanksgiving

I really enjoy cooking so I can't be bothered to order stuff. #deananddelucathanksgiving

Pumpkin pie, sweet potato, pecan. I'm sorry. It's all so good.
Please don't revoke my Team Cake card. #deananddelucathanksgiving
