Sorry we can't stop by your home on our way back. We'll take a rain check. Thanks for the invitation. Elderberry pie sounds good. I haven't had that in years. Sure beats ground cherry pie. Rose has made 6 pies for the camping venture. Rhubarb, cherry, 2 pecan pies and 2 pumpkin pies. As you can tell I'm a pie freak. Never cared much for cakes but sure do like most pies. Exceptions are the aforementioned ground cherry and mincemeat pies and also apple pie. Have a great Thanksgiving.

What I remember is my grandmother had jars of "beef" that were waiting to be used for the minced meat pies. So it wasn't the last ingredient back then. However, haven't even tried the store bought stuff. Waiting until I get back to Ohio sometime when someone bakes them as I remember them.
Didn't have a sleigh ride to grandmother's house as she lived next door. However, someone in Kidron did have a sleigh and I remember riding it at least once when we had snow.
John, since you will be at Ink's lake, you are welcome to stop by on your way home. Maybe I can find someone local who bakes a good mincemeat or ground cherry or elderberry pie.
We had started a couple of years tradition where our two nearby children and grandchildren and us would go camping for the Thanksgiving weekend. Had planned to continue that but life things arise so we are planning on full meal at home. Still looking for dried corn. Daughter is making sweet potato pie.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

SWING THE SHINING SICKLE
(Alice Riley & Jessie Gaynor)

Swing the shining sickle,
Cut the ripened grain,
Flash it in the sunlight,
Swing it once again.
Tie the golden grain heads
Into shining sheaves,
Beautiful their color.
As the autumn leaves.

Pick the rosy apples,
Pack away with care,
Gather in the corn ears,
Gleaming everywhere.
Now the fruits are gathered,
All the grains are in,
Nuts are in the attic,
Corn is in the bin.

Lowdly blows the north wind,
Through the shiv'ring trees,
Bare are all the branches,
Fallen all the leaves.
Gathered is the harvest
For another year,
Now our day of gladness,
Thanksgiving Day is here.

We normally (if that's the right word choice) have our children and

charcoal grill. This year, to be different, our brood has arranged
for us to go primieval and celebrate T-Day at Inks Lake State Park in
Burnet, Tx. We do get to stay in a cabin with no heat and probably
no windows to shelter us from the bitter cold. At least the cabins
feature air conditioning which is a plus in the summer months.

To continue the tradition, I am taking my Weber charcoal grill to Ink
Lakes State Park so I can possibly overcook the turkey and then use
a chainsaw to carve the bird. Better that than a pink turkey which
refuses to cook no matter how long you cook that bird. I have memories
of one year that we bought a turkey and it never did get done. I hope
that wasn't one of those 40 cents a pound turkeys like I bought this year.
I'll keep you posted about the outcome after the fact.

What are your plans for this year?

Just in case anyone is remotely interested.

May your mincemeat and ground cherry pies be outstanding this year.

Personally I prefer pumpkin pies and pecan pies.

Mincemeat! Haven't seen that in a long time. I liked it when it was made with real beef - My grandmother always had at least two at Thanksgiving.

Most people have never heard of ground cherry pie, in fact they have no idea what is a ground cherry. Had a slice a few years ago somewhere in the midwest. When I lived in California, a friend went back to visit family in Kansas and brought ground cherry pie to work. No one else in the company had any idea what it was.

Had creamed dried corn growing up. My great grandmother Hershey made it every year. Haven't had it in years.

Worst Thanksgiving food was a dressing that friend made that had way, way too much spicy sausage in it. Also an oyster dressing - didn't eat more than one bite of that.

Still the best is the sweet potatoes with marshmallows and then pumpkin pie with real whipped cream.

I have a mashed white potato recipe that adds butter, sour cream, parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder and salt. Every year we have the request for "those potatoes".

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

CRS, you know has set in now.

There was another opportunity I did pass up that I do recall.
When I was at Ohio University, one of my lame friends thought I needed
to sell shoes as a sideline. To my surprise I received a complete
Mason Shoe kit (complete with shoes) for me to sell. I thought that
was a good joke at the time and was not offended by it. As a sidenote, I
returned the shoes to Mason Shoe Company with a polite
no thank you message attached.

Anyone buy any Mason Shoes from anyone? Another lost opportunity.

thanks John, just when I was longing for a new topic you come through
again!



I am sure I need some mind jogging but I remember buying some terrible
expensive baby furniture when we had our first girl, Kristen. there was

a

bassinet that also served as a baby buggy and a car bed (yep that was

before

car seats and I can still remember her sitting up in it and trying to

climb

out while it was in the back seat and i was driving my little VW wagon)
then there was also a table that had some highchair attachment. i guess

it

served the purpose but it was a rip off! Thank God the kid survived.
I don't remember using it for more than 2 of them.



I remember buying Cutco knives before I was married from a poor college
student (it was actually Marcia Haney's husband) which I still use

daily and

love to this day! I think he may have also sold me some Vitacraft pots

and

pans also. I got the full set of Cutco plus 8 steak knives which I had

to

send back cause I lost my job at Ethel's beauty salon and they cost $10
each. (and I don't think we have had more than a dozen steaks in all

our

married life) I don't think we could ever afford any of those sweeper!
There was the Jehovah's witnesses who we never bought anything from

either.

Oh yes we did the Amway distributorship and was quite successful until

we

burned out but it was a great learning experience. I have sold Jafra
cosmetics and Christian books and did wig party's in my time too. Don't
forget the pampered chef parties! My favorite items are the garlic

press

and the chopper.



I am sure there are other things but right now I need the rest of you

to

help jog my memory. Hope you are all getting ready for the holiday

season

and are well. pjlee

As I was sitting here tonight contemplating my navel, I suddenly
thought of 2 purchases I made from door-to-door salesmen during
my earlier days. Just wondered if any of you had bought some of
these same products or some other products from door-to-door salesmen
at some time in your life.

I think we bought the Collier's encylopedias shortly after our first
son was born in 1965; we thought it would be a good idea for his
educational experiences into the future. Collier's also had annual
books updating the encylopedias. Time marched on. Finally last year we

gave

the encyclopedias to a friend who wanted to cut them into pieces
to use as wallpaper in her bathroom. Good riddance.

The Rainbow vacuum cleaner (although terribly expensive) lasted for
probably about 20 years. Now it sits in the garage gathering dust and
rust hoping for me to put it back into service someday. Good luck!
Not much chance of that happening now or ever. But I guess I will
still keep it in accordance with good packratting procedures.

Of course we had the usual Avon and Mary Kay and Tupperware products
which were not door-to-door but rather in house crapola parties. We
even became Shaklee and Amway bottom of the pyramid types. Never
made a buck on that routine. We still have many of the Tupperware
products which now have become kind of a slimy plastic by now but
that stuff lasts forever. Probably was made in the USA back then and
that's why it does last forever.

Also I remembered tonight the "You Asked For It" show starring that
white haired guy Art Baker. I think it was on tv during the 50's.
That was a great show. People sure asked for the dumbest things
to ask Art Baker to show on tv. Hard to believe, but I could not
think of dumb things to ask Art to show on tv.

Just when you thought I could not bring up mind-boggling stuff for
you to ponder anymore, here I am.

Get off the couch and post some stuff for the group to ponder and
keep this group alive (or at least) quasi-alive.
