I love it but don't know how to make it. We have wonderful cooking traditions too, passed from my grandmother, to my mother, and now to me. I wonder if my daughter will ever be able to continue and pass the torch.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-46908024591521943952010-11-27T11:27:43.590-05:002010-11-27T11:27:43.590-05:00Great blog, Paisley.

I make it because it's the easiest pie recipe I know.<br /><br />I didn't make it this year because we were at my mother's.<br /><br />But at the Thanksgiving dinner, when I asked, "What kind of pie do you want?" everyone answered, "Chocolate." Who knew it had become a family tradition?Clarissa Southwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999713155443152791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-7929791888118961142010-11-24T20:40:38.197-05:002010-11-24T20:40:38.197-05:00Joan,I use my Danish grandmother's recipe for ...Joan,I use my Danish grandmother's recipe for Aebelskievers. My aunt used to cheat and use buttermilk pancake mix. It is such an effort to make them, I go for the original recipe. We always have apple jelly on the table to eat with them.

Now I make it from scratch and put cheese cloth into the cavity ad fill that with the stuffing. It pulls out so easily.<br /><br />We have favorite jello salads as well.

She'd get so insulted--not that I was trying to hurt her feelings, but I didn't like the texture. Lo and behold, years later I realized it had nothing to do with the taste, I just didn't like it when it came out of the bird. <br /><br />Now every year when I make mom's stuffing, I'm reminded of all those years I missed out on some awesome tasting food. But now, I'm making up for lost time enjoying it from the baking dish, not the bird. <br /><br />Another tradition is fried cauliflower. It's steamed, then dipped in eggs and breadcrumbs and fried, and served warm.<br /><br />I also make a jello mold my mother-in-law made every year to bring a little bit of warmth to Bob's holiday.<br /><br />As we sit around the table stuffing our faces, I can almost picture those relatives sitting right there with us.<br /><br />Thanks for the memories, Marlene.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659478699744541765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-32580126346161632112010-11-24T13:11:20.884-05:002010-11-24T13:11:20.884-05:00Now you have me hungry, Sheila.

Potica translates to “something rolled” which is exactly what happens. <br /><br />As children my siblings and I would watch our mother roll yeasty bread dough paper-thin on our round kitchen table. The scent of raw dough, cinnamon, melted butter, heated honey and ground walnuts is what I remember best. Of course, I carry on this tradition.Sheila Tenoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549721256331896612noreply@blogger.com
