Thanksgiving
So what, other than turkey, are you making for Thanksgiving? I'm going to be guest, so I don't have to make the whole dinner, but I was asked to make a pumpkin pie. (I'm going to try this recipe, but if you have a better one, I'd love to hear about it). I'm also going to make popovers using the recipe of my late belle-mère. Do you ever make these bad boys? The best way to do this is with a cast iron popover pan. It weighs a ton, but it makes a heckuva popover. And you can forget about substituting one- or two-percent (or, God forbid, skim) for whole milk and/or skimping on the butter in some misguided effort to save calories and/or your cholesterol, because you just won't get awesome popovers.
