LOL! There’s much more to see. :)
I miss those family gatherings, but unless we choose to move to Florida or Texas, we're celebrating by ourselves. It has its advantages. It was 60 degrees here today.
I'd love to go for a walk in the morning. Perhaps we will. :)
That’s amazing. Warmer there than here. I think we got into the mid fifties. It’s been about 15-20 degrees colder than normal so far this Fall.
Last winter was the strangest we’ve ever seen. Mr. T played golf for all of but two or three weekends. It was very unusual. We also had very little snow. I could grow accustomed to that. :)
Hey, moose! Thank you! :)

Tempting Pumpkin Pie You, too, can make homemade pumpkin pie! Continue the holiday tradition with this easy recipe. Yield: 1 pie, 8 servings Best Flaky Pastry: 1 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening or 1/3 cup lard 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water Filling: 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix) - make your own 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary). Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Roll pastry, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down pie plate, 9 x 1-1/4 inches. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry even with plate. Cut scraps of rolled pastry with tiny leaf-shaped cookie cutter. Sprinkle cutouts with sugar; press on pastry edge. Heat oven to 425 F. Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl with wire whisk or hand beater. Beat in remaining ingredients. To prevent spilling, place pastry-lined pie plate on oven rack. Pour filling into pie plate. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F. Bake about 45 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 4 hours or until chilled. Immediately refrigerate any remaining pie after serving |
