This week: Fancying-Up our Pies, Sweet or Savory!
We had snow today, and it’s very cold tonight – am hoping against the forecast that we will have a proper White Christmas. I wish you all a very warm and happy one, full of the love of friends and family!

I am a savory guy but like sugar in low doses or small proportions with milk or coffee to cut it but here is a goodie (not Pie)
Redneck Truffles (use you instincts there is no recipe)
In a food processer or blender mix some oreo cookies to grandndma level consistency and mix with cream cheese, get some kidst put their fists in there and mix it up.
Teach them to roll meatballs.
Take this great effort and dip it in dark Chocolate and drizzle with dark chocolate an drizzle with white chocolate
CHILL
You can reverse the chocolate scheme or add raspeberry jam and chipolte
HAVE FUN
Fancying the pie up aint that hard and is an embellishment,
the important part is can you make a pie?
I almost never make a pastry anymore-lowcarb/crustless.
I am really getting too tired/lazy to do much other than dump something in a crockpot.
I had to slice up a ham this week, and had a big bone leftover, so I cooked ham and beans in the crockpot.
I’m in CA and it’s really cold today. It was all the way down to 73 degrees today.
LOVE that topic. Will get back to the thread later. Excellent topic dear to my heart.
Snow, and a white Christmas. Sigh. I can only imagine.
We have weird weather as you all know. Bone dry, fires, smelled smoke in the air in some of my locations today. 75 degrees in the afternoon, 45 at night. It doesn’t feel like any season.
I found the Great American Baking Show and we watched the first episode from the auto DVR on Dish network. My mom loved it (and so did I) so I went searching for episode 2. Searched and searched. It wasn’t anywhere, and was supposed to be on Hul7 but didn’t come up in any searches. So frustrating!
So I hit up Google. Whaaaaat? One of the chefs is now accused of multiple sexual assaults, so ABC stopped airing it after episode 1, and Hulu doesn’t want it.
So sad. All the contestants, all the people who worked on the show. All for nothing because some idiot couldn’t keep his hands to himself.
I have now found the Great British Baking Show on Netflix so we will try that next.
Snow here too! Defrosting my shortbread dough for morning cookies!
Wishing you and and all of our Cooking Tread friends a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year!
Thank you Jamestown for the wonderful Cooking Thread. I look forward to seeing what the surprise topic is going to be and the ensuing great ideas and recipes from everyone on the thread!
