To any/all: What was your favorite dish? by

We had a small Thanksgiving here, just me, Phobos, and Phobos' brother. None of us especially loves turkey, so we had a pork roast, dry-brined, with hand-blended poultry seasoning instead. It came out great! It got a nice crust on the outside, and with it not being attached to disgusting poultry skin, I got to enjoy it. ^_^
In addition, we had Jiffy cornbread, Phobos made mac & cheese with colby-jack and smoked gouda, Phobos' brother made sweet potatoes topped with pineapple and marshmallows, and I made pecan custard pie a la Max Miller. All darn good!
It's hard to pick a favorite, but the thing I'm most looking forward to having again as leftovers is the sweet potato dish. I love sweet potatoes pretty much any way, and the marshmallows on this were some special brand, and they got super-crispy on top while staying soft, almost gelatinous, in the middle. Subtly different flavor from the usual, too. It'll be interesting to see how they hold up to reheating.
~Neshomeh thinks her pie came out fine, but perhaps overcooked.

And also it would have been mashed potatoes, but no one actually bought regular potatoes, so we only had mashed sweet potatoes that my sister made last-minute. They were good.
I made apple crisp and pumpkin/cheesecake bars for dessert. They both turned out very well, but I had so much pie crust and pumpkin filling leftover from the bar that I made a whole pumpkin pie and two small pumpkin custard sort of things. That recipe was a good recpie, but I think the proprotions may have been messed up. This may have been due to the fact that I used a baking sheet with sides only 1 inch high. Here is the link to the recipe, if anyone is interested.
Edit: I also doubled the cheesecake part of the filling, so that is potentially another reason why the filling didn't all fit in one tray.

The stuffing, always the stuffing :) by

I'm very picky about the stuffing because most of the ones I've had, people made it to be served stuffed up the turkey and that just makes it gummy and unpleasant. My family makes it in a giant Dutch oven so the breading is still very crisp and the butter keeps it delightfully toasted...
...That, and the mashed potatoes my brother has insisted on taking charge of ever since he decided my parents don't make them nearly as creamy as he likes. (And I'll admit, he makes much better mashed potatoes than they do!)
Tonight's dinner was leftover stuffing, mash, and gravy all mixed together and I feel like I basically had a second round of feasting... but next year I hope I'll be bringing my fudge pie with oreo crust around to share with everyone.
