Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm watching The Event -- my traitorous cousin Bill is in a coma.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Like the Apple Dumpling Gang?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Things of note: a) I only make pies from scratch. I hold no judgement of other pie making/acquiring methods, however I have A Thing wherein if I were to buy pie crust, my great-grandmother's hand would reach down from the Heavens and give me such a smack that I find making pie crust not only easier than dealing with Zombie Great-Grandmother, but also somewhat relaxing and b) cherries are not in season.
I was gonna say you painted yourself into a corner here ("Saffron! It must have saffron hand-picked by blind monks from Prague!"), but you seem to have pulled out of that death spiral quite nicely. Bake on!
Me, I'm making a quick gluten-free apple crisp, buying rolls and salad fixings, and showing up with all that plus good good vino. (I learned my lesson after putting the vegan sour cream in the cheesecake recipe.) (Actually, the vegan pumpkin cheesecake was quite good; we just picked the easy stuff because we have to stop by my aunt's on the way to The Boy's SiL, and we needed stuff that would travel well without turning into nastiness while it sat in the car as I was getting loaded with my family.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Always. Like the dorkness that I am.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oof. I think I accidentally managed to hurt my mom's feelings quite badly. I got an invite from my stepmom to go do something that I was quite excited about. I told my mom what I was doing, given that I knew she'd be thrilled I got to do it. I was so wrapped up in that, that I forgot she'd be less than thrilled about who I was going with.

I think marshmallow fluff on top of sweet potatoes sounds intriguing, but why would it be better than actual marshmallows?

Did you READ my saga with the vegan sour cream? That's supreme dorkness right there.

I did, but that rings more like typical Holiday cooking than dorkness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The only big difference between frozen fruit and fresh is that the frozen will act "pre-cooked" in terms of texture (since freezing makes the cell walls burst).
I wasn't planning on bringing a dessert at all to Thanksgiving, but apparently I'm supposed to. So it's between gingerbread and an apple crisp.
