Pie Treat!

Pie Treat!

Treated myself to an apple pie at that fast food joint we all know. A reward for not being a big baby and stopping the whole Squirrel Dome Clearing on Saturday when I got tired and wanted to quit. I could have easily done it and my men would have carried me like a football HERO to the house, but alas the punishment continued until it was all cleared.  In case you are wondering There is no such thing as bad pie! Okay that is not true. Sugar-free Blueberry pie ( saccharin) with...

National Pie Day: Pumpkin Pie Greatness

Emerging from hibernation for this recipe and this day. Weee!  Read More about National Pie Day. I make a few pumpkin pies around the holidays. Jack is quite the Pumpkin Pie Man. I have tried fresh pumpkin … great if you can get it, bake halved pumpkin cut sides down 350 degrees 40 minutes, scoop out seeds, then flesh. Don’t even try cutting the rind off a raw pumpkin, you will just end up in angry tears.  Tried the can pumpkin with the spices inside, all brands too. Yet I...

Chatter, Chikka-dea, and Bunnies

Hello ALL! Yesterday was wonderful! I’ll just hit the highlights because there is SO much to post about… HOLD IT! Okay you know I really don’t know how to edit myself! HOOT! … so here it is with all the wacky details and sideways distractions. Decluttering some boxes of keepsakes from when the kids were babies yielded an entire box of “lost” Hall China! I was so tickled! I was afraid I had accidentally lost it in an earlier move or maybe donated it to the Goodwill or Salvation Army...

My Margarita Valentine

Saturday, February 12, 2011 Jack and I did our Valentine’s Date today instead of Monday. We have tried doing it on the night of, but Jack is always tired from work and we both like avoiding gobs of people. Have you seen a restaurant on Valentine’s Day? We would sit there with the rising tide of conversation hitting our ears wishing we could talk to each other. Well this time we jumped in with both feet, declared Saturday the day and off we went to this new place we heard great things...

  Making Pies today! Weee! I like to do this earlier than  the day before the big feed, but you know sometimes I just have to be thankful for being able to make them at all and smile smile smile!  Nathan informed me at a shopping trip a few weeks back that he doesn’t like pie. He is a cake man. Okay, its a blow, but I can handle it. At least we agree that Brownies are universal common ground. Today’s Pies will be Mincemeat, Pumpkin, and Chocolate Cream. I will also be attempting a cake...
