Roast beef HAS to be made in the specific roaster of my entire life with red wine, halved potatoes, halved onions, and carrots. No foreign parts accepted.
Thanksgiving stuffing must be waaaaaaaaay overspiced.
Real butter is the rule, not the exception. "Bad muffins
need butter, good muffins
deserve butter."
We still use a fork to poke my mom's signature into top pie crusts. She's been dead for 8 years, but we just have to do it.
