Re: What's for Thanksgiving?

I’m making Ina Garten’s roasted tomato and basil soup with
grilled cheese for dinner.
For Thanksgiving prep I’m making a pumpkin pie with regular
crust, pumpkin pie with gingersnap crust, and apple crisp. I’ll
make the cherry/cornmeal cake on Wednesday night.

After giving it some thought, it sounded like she was just
planning to have a party at my house. And she did sound a little
disappointed that I was not playing along.

That whole thing just sounds crazy! I cannot imagine just
inviting people to someone else's home like that.
When my cousin visited us for Thanksgiving, I texted my
sister-in-law, thanking her for inviting us (standing annual
invite), but we'd be missing the family gathering that year
since we had visitors. She called me and extended the invite to
the visiting cousin (plus that cousin's sibling who lived with
us — but they had a standing invite).

Update: at my house apple pie is preferred over key lime.
What are your favorite pie apples?
In bygone days when I had the time I'd doodle around various
orchards and try to find some combination of: winesap, northern
spy, rhode Island Greening and/or baldwin.
Today I'll be thrilled if Wegman's has any upstate NY apples at
all plus some granny smith. And Macoun.

I go with northern spy, or granny smith for nostalgia.

Well, if you had asked me before I left Santa Rosa (yes, I say
it Sanna Rosa!) I would have voted for Gravenstein apples. There
were huge orchards of them out around Sebastopol, about 10 miles
to the west. And some of those orchards were closer to SR than
Sebastopol. We had plenty of apple pies made from Gravensteins.
But these days I would have to go with Granny Smith. I can't
find Gravensteins anyway.

Honeycrisps are my go-to for apple pie/apple crisps/crumbles.

I know a guy who runs an orchard who agrees with you and I just
cannot, not at all. Too sweet for me.
I like a mix but the mix needs to be on the tart side.

First passing on bacon+chicken, now this, have they no class?!?
Apple pie is, as a pie, good, but it is a bottom tier pie even
as fruit pies go.
After the key lime discussion, we made one (okay, I said it
sounded good and partner made one)
Any apple except the poorly named red delicious apple seems
okay.

This is probably the basis for your poor opinion of apple pie
which, done properly, is divine.
