So have I, It's just the best, though I can't say the same for my spelling: OKTOBERFEST!!

But some people think Okter IS the best month of the year!

Or maybe THIS will be my Thanksgiving dessert.

What the heck. I'll make 'em both.

 

[diannecerkvenik64]

I use a large tart pan with a removable bottom so the Tort slides off onto a plate to serve better.
