It's a creamed corn casserole with eggs, saltines, butter, milk, and black pepper. Nothing fancy, it's something my Grandpa used to make, and I make it in his memory (and because it's tasty) Like this:

As for pies, Pumpkin, Dutch apple (may make baked cinnamon apples instead, depending on what the Mrs. wants), Chocolate pudding, and Lemon Meringue (which I'll get at VIllage inn because I'm too lazy to make it from scratch)

My parents & grandparents tradition was making a lime flavored jello with shredded carrots & celery in it. It was served individually in fat squares on a leaf of lettuce.

I don’t carry on that tradition, but we still joke about it.

My biggest Thanksgiving tradition is eating the pie first.

There comes a point in the meal prep where I can take a break, brew up a pot of coffee & sit down for a sample plate of all the pies. We always do a pumpkin, a chocolate pecan & either a peach or an apple. Then it’s back to work to finish making the feast.

Weird jello was all the rage in the 70's, weren't they? That would scare me too. Carrots and celery in my jello.

Ours was always in the 9x13 casserole dishes so you could cut out exact squares.
