Advent 2025 E6 - Jen Likes Pies...

December 6th. So, full disclosure to our audience, we are recording this before

Thanksgiving, and it is a big food holiday.

But there are very distinctive holiday foods.

A lot of crossovers from Thanksgiving to Christmas. A lot of crossovers from

Thanksgiving to Christmas, but do you guys have any favorites that you, like, look forward to?

I know lots of families probably have traditions.

I don't really think we did. And, but I really, like just everything that my

mom and my grandmother made was the best.

Does anybody, so here's the same. My grandma made fudge a lot,

I guess. Usually on Christmas, we would have a beef roast.

Like, I don't know if I had a piece of fudge. Like a prime rib?

Not quite. It was kind of like a simple, super simple roast,

mashed potatoes. Oh, God, that sounds delicious.

And I already ate. I find it bizarre when anyone tells me they would have beef

for the holidays of any kind.

We had some ham, too, sometimes. It was so not a thing. Not a turkey on Christmas.

Our family was always turkey on Christmas, ham on Christmas.

Sorry, turkey on Thanksgiving, ham on Christmas. We always had a honey baked around Christmas.

We always had both every holiday. We would have a beef roast and a ham most

of the time. And a lot of deviled eggs, a lot of mashed potatoes.

Not a deviled egg fan. A little bit of pasta. Although I hate mayonnaise,

so. Or we would have a lasagna sometimes.

You're a mayonnaise hater? I just don't like it. White man's gravy?

I just don't. That's probably the only reason I'm not like 9,000 pounds,

because I love to eat sometimes, but I just don't like mayo.

All right, all right. But here's something that like. Good to know.

What is the, it's the shitty, is it like fruit?

Miracle Whip? Oh. Is it fruitcake that, like, it's the shittiest thing, supposedly?

Yeah, like, people used to bring fruitcakes here for Christmas.

I never knew anyone that did that. And, like, my mom would take the fruitcake

and immediately just throw it in the garbage with the pan that they brought it in.

Like, she would be so mad if we got fruit, if someone brought fruitcake.

Because, like, my mom would make homemade cookies, which were,

and my grandma would make homemade donuts.

Mama scramble is famous for doing a lot of cookies yeah

my mom would make really good cookies with the frosting and

everything and then my grandma would do uh she

called them like kadoods but they were basically like cake donuts that she fried

and then like powdered sugar like they those motherfuckers did not fuck around

no with any of the food so like you were eating and that was like you were eating

good like you were eating good and like you were getting verbally abused the whole time,

but you were eating really good.

Like they were calling you a piece of shit. You're a miserable little bastard.

Too many of those, you're going to get fat.

You know, like they even told the boys, you're going to get fat.

One year, my aunt made me a pecan pie with no pecans on it. And that was probably

one of my best treats. So she just made you a miscellaneous pie?

Because you don't like the pecans. No, but you know what I do like?

All that goo that's in the, like underneath the nuts.

You like a, it's like a pumpkin pie. So it's nothing like that.

It's more of a gel, sugary gel. What about that sugar pie that I didn't get

any of? Oh man, that was so good.

So my grandmother, my grandmother Scramble used to do the holiday.

That used to be when I was a kid, everyone went to my grandparents' house.

And grandmother scramble could cook and someone

one year and i still have yet to have it to this

day did a chocolate meringue pie it was

fucking phenomenal like a silk like a french silk

it wasn't no it wasn't it wasn't quite no it's

not french silk because that's different it was like you know how there's

lemon meringue pie yeah it was like a chocolate meringue we would have that

The lemon meringue pie and the fucking frosting on top would be four inches

of whipped cream or whatever that they did in a mix.

The lemon meringue pie, those Italian ladies. Well, my grandmother was from

Kentucky, so we always had a slew of pies.

I got to say, of all the desserts, I'm not a huge fan of pie.

At all but like i like all of the cream pies.

Lemon um chocolate yeah all
