A tip just n time for those Thanksgiving pies! Granny Adams made such beautiful pies! One day, I asked her, “How do you get such beautiful pies with the crimps around the edge so even?”

“Well, it’s a family secret,” she said. “But if you promise not to tell, I’ll let you in on it.”
“Okay,” I said. “Tell me!”

“Well, first, I roll out the dough, making sure it is flat and even. Then I cut out the bottom layer and carefully put it in the pie plate and make sure it is firmly against the sides of the plate.”

“Then I slowly pour in the filling, making sure it’s not too full. Next, I cut out the top layer and carefully put it over the filling.”

“Finally, I take out my teeth and just run them around the edge of the pie crust and they make the nicest, even impressions you ever did see!”

I LOVE this joke. Very Funny!!

Here is another for you.

Got a letter from Grandma the other day. She writes… The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk If You Love Jesus " bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting; so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, I’m glad I did! What an uplifting experience that followed! I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is…and I didn’t notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn’t honked, I’d never have noticed!

I found that LOTS of people love Jesus Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind me started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO!JESUS CHRIST, GO!"

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach"… I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I’ve never met anyone from Hawaii; so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing…why even he was enjoying this religious experience!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers, grinning, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared; so I slowed the car down, leaned out the windowand gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

What is your turkey secret when it comes to what you put on top of it or otherwise known as your turkey rub? What is your secret stuffing recipe ..now that we are sharing your secret??? How about your sweet potato pie??? Thanks in advance and i will let you know how all this comes out…Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Rub cooking oil inside a big paper bag. Make sure the entire inside surface is covered in oil, place the turkey in the bag and tie the end closed. Bake the turkey the amount of time that is recommended. The oil in the bag bastes the turkey and it comes out brown and moist. If you miss a spot on the bag with oil, that part of the bag will catch fire, so be careful. I works really well.

I am a useless yorkshire pudding cook.

They almost always come out like either ‘Frisbees’ or ‘dumplings’.
I want them to rise like ‘top hats’ and be as ‘light as feathers’.

Who has the secret recipe or ingredient?

because I’m not…I’m more annoyed! I have worked for this company for 6 years total. I have been back for 1 yr. The woman that sits next to me is a chatty cathy to say the least. Anyway, around any holiday or any time we have a potluck I have to listen to her go on and on and on about these Ghirardelli brownies she makes. This Christmas she gave her "top secret" brownie mix out as a gift to several coworkers. Basically it was the mix in a plastic bag with a recipe attached. I checked out the recipe she attached and sure enough it’s the exact same ingredients that are called for ON THE BACK OF A BOX OF INSTANT GHIRARDELLI BROWNIES you can by at any local grcoery store. She has lead everyone to believe she makes them from scratch! This morning my supervisor asked her for the recipe and she claims "I can give it to you but then I’d have to kill you." Are you kidding me really? So I want to put a box of the mix in a bag and attach the instructions from the back of the box on a card. Is that vindictive? Or would it be hysterical when my supervisor thanks her for the recipe and she looks stupified that someone "stole" her top secret brownie recipe?
mislabeled you’re a coward writing me back and insulting me and then removing the ability for people to contact you. Do the world a favor is 2010 and remove the giant stick out of your hindparts and GET A SENSE OF HUMOR!

I thought you were talking about something else too.

Anyway I think you should just let the woman have her pride/fun. If you want to tweak her nose a bit, just tell her that you know her secret! I wouldn’t though because some people are just crazy and you don’t want to end up working with someone who has her crazy up.

I have tried Kopy Kat and Restaurant Clone and Top Secret and every other website I can find to locate this recipe…anyone know have it or know where else to look? My roommate loves their wing sauce and a birthday is coming up and I would like to make some homemade to surprise my roommate. Thank you in advance…
Ed K–I am sure they do too but I am looking for the recipe…they won’t give out that info–most restaurants don’t give out their secrets
zerothworld1–I know what "buffalo wing sauce" basically is…everyone adjusts theirs differently, some add special spices and what not…looking for the specific recipe Ponderosa uses…

Add a stick of butter to a medium size bottle of Tabasco or Picquante sauce in a 1 qut. pan with tight lid, heat until melted, add the cooked wings (baked broiled or fried) to the sauce, shake and serve. Curry, BBQ, Pepper , Garlic or other seasoning can be added to taste. I think Ponderosa adds a dash of Hickory smoke to theirs (and more salt). I disagree with above poster, but I like mine HOT, even going for Habañero or Chipotlé.

Local BJ’ and Sam’s Store wholesalers often have proprietorial foods by Ponderosa and others in their freezer section.

Metromedia Restaurant Group manages Ponderosa, Bonanza, and several other Steakhouses. They feature regular, hot, and honey BBQ wings on their menu, available online to cater.

Different Ponderosas probably get theirs from different jobbers in their area, some sell bottles of sauce with their labels (Jobbers custom do these for companies too, even if the recipe isn’t always the same.)
