I suppose it matters if you go filtered or unfiltered.

My mother and my grandmother used to make it all the time. I should see if someone in the family has their recipe.

I don’t fly fish, I’ve gone with my brother a couple of times and have fished a fly and a bubble a few times, but tying flies looks like it would be fun.

We always had them around Christmas when I was a kid. Seems like they’ve become unpopular now.

If I figure it out and it’s any good, I’d be happy to.

I'm one of those weird ones too. I was just telling my wife, who does not like fruit cake, that I need to make fruit cakes and hand out for Christmas. Apparently, there aren't a lot of people that would think a fruit cake would be a good gift. I would for sure.

Do I know you, or what? ha ha

Not once! I may have to find a good recipe and make one. I haven’t had mince meat pie in many years. I might be the only one that would eat it. Fat guy like me wouldn’t mind a pie to himself…

When I make it, I’ll let you know. You can hop over for some mince meat pie and a pile of scones.

Thank you JarheadFF! I hope your Thanksgiving was a great one. It’s great to hear from you, friend!

Haha, it goes way beyond pie eyed and straight to pie coma! It has turned into a really fun tradition. I hope it lives on way after my wife and I are gone.

My wife makes the best coconut cream pie you'll ever eat. It's by far my favorite, folllowed by just about any other kind. We started a tradition three years ago and have "pie night" the Friday night before Thanksgiving. We have all the kids and grandkids over to stuff our pie holes with pie. My wife usually makes the coconut cream, pumpkin, pecan and one or two others, along with special treats for the grandkids. The kids usually each bring a pie as well. It's a pretty great tradition and a fun night to have the whole family over to celebrate life being short and having dessert first.

There is a restaurant here in Utah that has a pie sampler that has their three originals, oatmeal pie, pinto bean pie and pickle pie. It's a few hours south of Salt Lake City, fairly close to Capitol Reef National Park.

Well, story of my life, a day late and a dollar short. Good morning, good night, rinse repeat... Good luck with brakes, stripers, gigs, deer, installing fish finders, avoiding crowds, fixing dentures, and anything else I may have missed!

Both sets are great! Thanks for the laughs.

You’re a lucky man, bk. For me, and I can tell for you, that time spent with the kids is precious time. We’re hoping to get a family ice fishing trip together for Presidents weekend.

“All a steer can do is try”!!! I’ve never heard that one, but I like it! I guess we can’t control what the rest of the world does, but we can keep the spirit of it in our hearts and try to reflect it in how we celebrate it and in how we treat people.
