Dessert!! The holidays are always a nice time to bring all of the favorite dishes together and to spend time with family. Preparing an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner for 12 without a hitch. I was 24 at the time and was insistent on making everything myself so it was a monumental feat. Also, baking the moistest, most perfect Italian Cream Cake for my mom's birthday. Another Thanksgiving. I was taking the dressing out of the oven as most of the family was arriving. With all of the commotion, I forgot to turn the oven off and the pan exploded on the stovetop. All of the women kind of pulled together in the kitchen using anything on hand to make another batch. It was nice to have so many generations together and considering it was such short notice, it was actually some of the best dressing ever. Needless to say, not a year has passed by without my "TNT" dressing being mentioned.
