Great ideas here!
I'm circling in on the chocolate pecan pie (maybe with a shot of bourbon) and the peach cobbler. That way there'll be nuts and chocolate or something fruity- a little something for everyone. I'll bring some premium vanilla ice cream to serve with both.
I have a sneaking suspicion, based on the people who will be there, that the amount of red food coloring in the red velvet cake might be a bit
too shocking. Also, I have less experience with cakes than with pies and cobblers.
Anyone care to share a chocolate pecan pie recipe? Or a favorite cobbler recipe? I will use frozen peaches; I recently tasted some simply thawed and sweetened, and they were worthy. How far ahead can I make the pie? I will do the cobbler during the day on Saturday; I assume it shouldn't be refrigerated.
