I get these urges. Like I have to squeeze a knee or a shoulder or a hand if a hug just can’t happen in that moment (like if I’m driving or they’re driving). I got an urge at lunch to throw a little rice cluster into a bowl of Ramen (channeling pebble tosses in the Detroit River over the summer). And well, the ramen splashed everywhere. (Ack! Sorry man.) I swear, it’s like I’m a kid sometimes.…
Hey guys, let’s host dessert parties every weekend for the rest of summer, ok? Ice cream dinners, and á la mode weeks. I want my Thursdays to be like my sundaes, ya know? So check out this little party I did for Betty Crocker, if you want. Set up a table with pie crust options, fillings, and toppings. Set out your favorite ice cream cups and mis-matched spoons.

I also used to order this when my family would go to Baker’s Square. Once, when they didn’t have it and I cried and they gave me free pie. (I was a kid! So what!) Basically, this is the go-to dessert for my whole family. My mom, sisters, and…
Please Note: I’ve made this again! Click HERE for the new post. When I had a small birthday party as a kid, I opted for mini French Silk Pies instead of cake for my friends. It’s that good. This is the kind of pie that makes you say: “Cake shmake. Give me another piece of that chocolate pie.” This is one of our THREE desserts this Thanksgiving. Everyone finished every crumb.
