Sounds like a great Thanksgiving menu! Hope all the Benrud's and their family have a great TG in Manchester.
Patricia and I are going over to Brother Jeff and Dina's in South Minneapolis (41st & Chicago) and we are suppose to bring BREAD and a CHOCOLATE PIE. Any ideas on a great freshly baked chcoloate pie?
I will be up early cooking Pan du Quesu for our bread contribution, although, not oo early...
Robb:
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Patricia. Pies...Turtle Bread?
Cheers!

Ann: I stopped by Cafe Latte on Grand in St. Paul last Saturday to look at Thanksgiving pies. WOW! One thing I can say about Cafe Latte is, I think, they have the best scones and "scone ritual" in the Twin Cities. I wasn't too impressed with their "chocolate pie" offerings and they have a double chocolate tart but they were not offering it on the Thanksgiving inventory.
In England and Scotland, eating scones is something of a ceremony, not just something you take away in a bag and break crumbs from and stuff them in your mouth as you slam your coffee from a travel mug and try to negotiate heavy traffic on 35W south.
Cafe Latte serves the scone, a plate of fruit with crème fraîche, a berry jam, and yogurt with lime zest, honey and lime juice. Yummy! Then, you accompany it with a breakfast tea or a nice cappuccino and sit down to enjoy it. Of course, in Scotland you are more likely to add kippers or another smoked fish for added protein and a little more salty/savory but... this is pretty close.
OK, I've made my decision:
