For my favorite holiday ever…my favorite pie ever!
Sure, I like pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner. And sweet potato. And apple. But what I really want is chocolate cream pie. This one is so good. If you want to make it more Thanksgiving-y, maybe add maple or something otherwise autumnal (I love that word, so fanc…) to the whipped cream topping.

Eater Explores Horse-and-Cart Vendor World in ‘Last of the Arabbers’
The Arabbers. These guys have been around Baltimore City for 150+ years. Some have said that it’s cruel. One friend said to me, “Oh, they must be selling drugs,” but whatever your take on them, they are part of Baltimore’s history. This article “The Last of the Arabbers” by Eater’s David Frey was eye-opening for me. …
