I've made homemade Hostess Chocodiles and Sno-Balls and tons of "homemade take out" like eggrolls etc

So much fun!

We make some variation of the stuffing I grew up with. I call it
unstuffing because we make balls and cook them in the pan with the turkey but not in the turkey.

This is so pretty! I don't like sweet things as main dishes/sides but I'd be tempted by this.

Honestly, no. I like holiday food and have a faux Thanksgiving to experiment with recipes for my blog but I don't like the "holiday season" much at all. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if there was better weather? My lack of interest in most holiday activities + short days + lack of local fresh fruit/veg + cold weather makes this a rough time of year for me.

This year we booked a 2 week cruise leaving right after Thanksgiving. A great way to skip some of the hoopla and yucky weather.

I've had problems doing it in the slow cooker, some cans leak and some start to rust before it is ready. It depends on the brand. The can may also damage your slow cooker. So while it is possible, I would be very cautious. I didn't feel comfortable including a recipe for it in my cookbook because I had so many problems.

I would try using your slow cooker. I made some balsamic glazed nuts in the slow cooker (lid off, lots of stirring) that came out really well without overcooking. I'd sprinkle them with oil then add the wasabi at the end of the cooking time.

I will post the homemade TV dinners recipe on my blog, probably some time next week.

We skipped the '90s because it was so recent and we had both seen so many movies from that decade. I think we'll have a '90s night after we work our way back through the remaining decades.

I made an apple pie with a sharp cheddar and black pepper crust that was amazing.

How big are these onions? Using them every day and yet only going through one a week doesn't quite add up to me. We're only 2 people and I'd say we go through 5-7 onions on an average week and it isn't as though we are onion-crazed. I'd suggest just upping the amount of onion in whatever you are making now, it can't be much. Also, if you store them properly, they should last a couple of months--well into the time your CSA should be giving you something beyond onions.
