I can't say for certain . . . just be sure that you have bourbon and marijuana cigarettes.

Could be. I made one miniature pie in a ramekin and threw away the rest. Depends on the size the squash and the depth of the pan, too. Certainly could be two 8-inch pies.

You are welcome! I could not conjure up the courage to do a prairie oyster last weekend . . .

Weird. David Bronzecoucheeooo on NPR this morning made a snarky aside how most of what is in canned pumpkin pie filling is regular squash...

Things ya learn.

Immabout 75% of the way through assembling a passionfruit meringue tart. The crust -- I humbly observe -- seems to have come out perfectly, the curd resides in the icebox, and tomorrow at the last minute I will assault the heights of meringue.

My semi-sainted and long-deceased mother would agree with that estimation.

This. It's even money, seems to me, whether Roy-o survives this scandal come election day in the fetid bogs of Alabammy. When he gets out into the real world, it'll be ugly.

Sorry, that bit was supposed to go after the artichoke hearts.

It's so good. Oh, and it's the artichokes that are supposed to get the water-packed note, not the spinach. Fixed that now.

Libby's is the only brand that guarantees 100% pumpkin (Dickinson). That being said, so what? I go with my mom and Al Jarreau, who sang, " anyone who's ever had sweet potato pie, don't want pumpkin again".
