    Well, making desserts people voted on. Guess my friends are too vanilla @dviss.

    That's a good choice as I always enjoy my grandma's homemade sweet potato pie.

    However, I would definitely try Butternut Squash Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

    Every single one of those desserts sounds amazing. I'm just partial to sweet potato pie.

    As a pie loving American who loves Thanksgiving, this list is hard to look at. Of the choices, I vote sweet potato pie

    Although I suspect I respect and know the reason, and I fear that this will cause a hijacking of the thread, why don't you?

    I was only joking, I eat food with my family to humor them but I wouldn't celebrate it if it wasn't for them. It's a lame holiday to me for the whole Indian thing, plus you do the same thing with Christmas just a month later.

    Means two bars of Scharffen-Berger go into it, plus dark cocoa, plus chocolate cookie crust. I think some whipped cream would be good on top.

    Conundrum:

    So should I make my traditional mashed potatoes -

    Yukon Golds
    Cream Cheese
    Salt and Pepper
    Butter
    Milk

    or should I do the right thing, really mess with my arteriosclerosis, and go with half-and-half instead of milk?
