I love the list. And I’m pumped about the pie crust tutorials. It’s fun to sneak a peak at your site during the Thanksgiving holidays and see new posts that make me smile like all the rest always do. And my husband looks better in jeans than I do, too.

Deb
I had to make two pies over Thanksgiving, much to the puzzled joy of my husband and guests. I had started with a shortening pie crust for your silken pumpkin pie, not having read your op-ed on shortening crust and being a little intimidated by the butter crust. But quickly went with the butter crust for your post in cinnamon sigh. Well suffice to say, I LOVE the butter crust hands down and feel like I can master that dough.The husband says it was one of the best pies he has ever had and this man has eaten his share of pie! Maybe yet another pie this weekend. In any case, thank you again and again for being such a resource for me and inspiring me to do things and think about cooking in such an encouraging way.

Deb,

Yesterday was my first time over my future in-laws house for a big family Thanksgiving. I got there early and got to help cook thanksgiving, and also teach how to make pie crusts/your pumpkin pie [with the laptop perched right on the counter ;)]! The desserts were such a hit, and there were only a few slices left over for breakfast today, but BOY were they good. I’m so thankful for you and your site. Hope you’re having a great weekend, and that you know that you touch so many people’s lives in so many ways. :)

You dictated (in a good way) my Thanksgiving menu–Onion Tart, Apple PIe, Cranberry-Caramel Tart, so I have to say that I am thankful for YOU!!

Love your blog and look forward to going backwards and forwards trying new recipes from it in the coming new year. My only regret is that I cannot experience the smells from the mix of tree vendors and roasted cashew vendors (and chestnut vendors, and soft pretzel vendors). As a relocated New Yorker I MISS THEM!!

Thanks again for all the good times and wonderful feelings your blog invokes.

Nice list! And good looking desserts, too. Love the leaf garnish on your double crust pie.

I made Pumpkin-Swirl Brownies, Winter Squash Soup & Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake this Thanksgiving all from your website. All were a success! I have passed your blog onto all people who inquired about the fabulous food. I am thankful for these wonderful recipes you post and many other things in my life…too many to list. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Thankful…..for people, like you, who love food as much as I.For families who will come (one side 65 miles one way) to spend Thanksgiving at my home, because it’s the only way I get to see them and my in-laws on a holiday. For best friends who spend 8 hours on their day off drinking wine and cooking with you on Wednesday, loaning you their big roasting pan, and coming back Thursday to share the meal. For leftovers the next day, especially cold stuffing and a glass of milk! For SmittenKitchen and cranberry pecan frangipane tart…oh my God it was wonderful!For the plenty we enjoy. The security we take for granted. For the clean air we breathe and the water we drink. And the privilege to choose the way we live.
