I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Only 5 at my house this year but that's ok since I am already tired.

Although I don't believe in Thanksgiving anymore (actually, I thoroughly despise every holiday but Halloween and 4th of July), I want to wish everyone a good time and hope you are safe

How can you not believe in Thanksgiving when all it is is a day of being thankful for what you have.... I'm sure you are thankful for so many things and most of all the people that love you!

I agree and just didn't want to say anything! WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR!

I was thinking the same thing as chickflick, how can you not "believe in" Thanksgiving? I can see not believing Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza or Easter or Diwali or... any of the holidays with religious and/or cultural roots and significance, but Thanksgiving? The act of giving thanks? I don't get that.

michickenwrangler -- I'm making a cake with your recipe. I doubled it and then divided it in four parts. The last of the four nine inch rounds is baking now. They take about 24 minutes at 325 in my oven.

Most "American" holidays are syncretized from so many different cultures, but Thanksgiving is the one that is truly "All-American"!

I'm glad so many are getting use out of the recipe! My bread and cupcakes are in the oven now!
