Jolene, your crostata looks wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing info about my upcoming classes and workshops, too. I often think of this time of year as The Pie Season!

The crostata is lovely, Jolene! I'm loving the history of The Automat, and I'll be tuning in on November 22. The photo is precious, what wonderful memories!❤️

Love the photo, little Jolene! And the tart and for reminding me of the cranberry controversy. Do think Thanksgiving is the holiday meal where exceptions rule.

It's nice that people become so attached to their holiday traditions. I would be a hard "no" on the jello mold, your crostata, however, looks amazing! Happy Thanksgiving, Jolene.

Divine! Jolene, I have been tasked with making not one but two apple pies/tarts for upcoming thanksgiving events....I’m looking for a recipe that’s pretty simple and failsafe, one I will do with my daughter. Any suggestions?

Thank you Jolene! I recorded The Automat yesterday and just finished watching it. What a great show! I had never heard of an Automat before and I never would have watched this if you hadn't written about it. I can always count on you to provide so much reading pleasure in your newsletters. So unique, so glad I subscribed.

In my still jet-lagged brain I thought you came up with a new dessert called a cranberry kerfuffle! 🤣 That crostata looks gorgeous, as does the jello mold, but there might be a kerfuffle in my living room if I don’t make the usual apple and pumpkin pies! Happy Thanksgiving, Jolene!

This Instagram exchange is so funny! My family always made pretzel jello salad for Thanksgiving (in addition to cranberry sauce) and I never realized it wasn’t normal until I left for college 😂 definitely a polarizing food!!

Just starting my week off for Thanksgiving. Much needed!

okay, bring on the darling nostalgia in that iconic photo *and* and irresistible crostada - which is just as can't resist as the NYT (food section, of all things!) seeking drama : )
