Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

[HuskerinBig10]

My wife and I are excited to go to the middle of Iowa and have Thanksgiving with family. This year, the Iowa Contingent is playing host. Next year Thanksgiving will be in Lincoln. 2015, the year Nebraska contends for the National Championship, it is back at out place.

We are a total of around 30-40 people for Thanksgiving. Then on Friday, we eat leftovers, watch football, play (Scrabble, Balderdash, Risk) drink wine, go to a movie.

Most of us are Nebraska fans since we grew up in Omaha, but there will be a couple of Iowa fans in attendance. Some are also apathetic and don't understand why we get so excited about football.

I remember talking to the sister in law in 1994/1995, she said she had never seen her husband so happy as when Nebraska beat Miami. Not even the birth of their kids gave him that amount of joy. Yes, she is one of the apathetic ones.

I baked four dozen cookies yesterday, tonight I am baking four Berry Tarts to take over. My wife is going to bake a sour cream apple pie that is delicious and just about always raved about at events, and she is making a pumpkin pie. I am also bringing six bottles of wine.

Just wanted to get this out before I was doing a mad scramble later on today, tonight, and tomorrow.

okay, I'm curious about the sour cream apple pie. you got the recipe for that? sounds awesome.

1 9 inch pastry shell, she uses Pillsbury store bought crusts.
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Large EGG, slightly beaten(bust yoke and stir it up until mixed)
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3/4 Cup WHITE Sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 Cup of Flour
2 lbs Granny Smith Apples(peeled, cored, thinly sliced 1/4" to 1/8") She loves her apple corer/peeler for this

Put pastry shell in your favorite pie pan

Warm oven to 425 degrees

Peel, core, and thinly slice your apples

Mix Sour cream, egg, vanilla, sugar, salt, and flour in large bowl

Stir until well blended then mix in the THINLY sliced apples slices

Mix that up trying not to break the apple slices.

Pour into pastry shell and put in the oven for 10 MINUTES at 425 degrees

10 MINUTES ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

Turn oven down to 350 degrees

bake for another 30 minutes.

While this is baking you now need to make the TOPPING

6 Tablespoons of BUTTER(salted or unsalted) that is 3/4 of a stick of BUTTER
1/3 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Packed light brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons of unsweetened Cinnamon
3/4 cups Walnuts or Pecans (peanut allergies eliminate this)

Blend the topping ingredients with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

Get pie out of oven, leave oven ON

SPOON(be gentle, don't pour) topping onto pie

Put back into the oven at 350 degrees for an additional 15 minutes to 20 minutes(until the filling is bubbly)

There you go. After an hour it is done.

The pie is really good warm. Some vanilla ice cream can be used as can some whipped cream if you want. But try it by itself first.

I think I'm gonna try that recipe. Looks pretty easy. Hopefully my family won't look at me funny all those times i go DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!

Much thanks dude.

What the heck?

Ames, Iowa is frigid. There is snow on the ground, there are snow piles from snow plows, and it is not above 25 degrees. The parking lots have ICE on them.

I like winter, but not on Thanksgiving. Much warmer over there on the other side of the Mississippi River.

The family get together has been hammered by sudden illnesses. People being admitted to hospitals yesterday. What was 30 or so might reach 15 or 12 or 11. Currently, we are at eight. It sucks to get phone calls from people that are crying and apologizing for not being able to make it because they are in/at the hospital.


Listening to the weather, it sound like Nebraska and western Iowa are getting a blizzard next week.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving. One thing for sure, we have PLENTY of food if there are only eight of us.

[NE1tm2nv]

HIBT, sorry to hear about the illnesses; I hope all recover and are up & at'em in no time.

Happy Thanksgiving all, yesterday my daughters helped me bake pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting and pumpkin pies. We have my wife's clan over here every year. I make my turkey Czech style with potato dumplings and sour kraut. It is smelling pretty good in the house right now.
