The one Thanksgiving recipe that will please everyone.

Sweet Potato Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Craig Lee

Since I moved to New York from Nashville, I spend most of my Thanksgivings with my family in Pennsylvania.

Thanksgiving in the Northeast is pretty different. There's no deep-fried turkey, no chess pie, no bourbon pecan pie, and no cornbread. I have slowly gotten used to this drastic difference in menu, but every year the worst thing imaginable happens to my tastebuds. I make my way to the dessert table and mindlessly grab a slice of orange-colored pie thinking it's sweet potato pie, only to take a bite and realize that it's sweet potato's less tasty northern cousin... pumpkin pie. I get that the pie you prefer probably has a lot to do with which pie your grew up eating, but for myself and many other southerners sweet potato pie is a holiday staple. So what do you do if your Thanksgiving dinner has to please both northerners and southerners alike? YOU MAKE A TOTALLY AWESOME MIX OF BOTH. I started doing this after my tastebuds were feeling kind of homesick, and it has made my Thanksgivings so much better. Hopefully, this pie recipe will blur the culinary Mason-Dixon line in your family too.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
