I just discovered that I'm making pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I'm assuming one gets pie crust, gets a can or two of pumpkin pie filling, inserts filling into crust, and bakes.

Crust:
One (1) box Jiffy pie-crust mix.
water.
flat surface and rolling pin.
Pie tin.

Procedure: do what the box says. Since you are making a topless pie, you don't have to worry about making the crust skinny enough to cut in two. Although evenness of the edges can be an issue.

Filling
One (1) can One-Pie Pumpkin Pie filling. Conveniently, this has the recipe printed on the can.
One (1) 12-oz. can sweetened condensed milk.
As much brown sugar, egg, cinnamon, and nutmeg as the can says. Possibly an egg, I forget.

Mix this stuff. Heat the oven. Pour this stuff into the pie shell in its tin. Bake till it is not wiggly in the middle when you poke the tin. Cool.

Whipped cream, just a blop on each slice, is one option; if you are hoity-toity, a cut piece of crust, baked, placed on the middle of the pie is artistic. Don't apply whipped cream till serving time, since pie is not so good at observing distinctions between substances. Ornage pie is good, but creamiscle pie, NSM.

I really don't like the "I voted" stickers because they always feel like I'm being rather sanctimonious and self-congratulatory. But they do save me from being reprimanded by people who are even more so.

We had mayor (likely to be reelected, which is fine because I like the guy), city council (three races, one of which I skipped because I couldn't remember which candidate was which in spite of having actually done the reading), big package of bond issues (about which I was contrarian and didn't vote the same way on all.)

Jz and Cashmere beat me to it.

The Snow Queen.

Edit: I knew that would be a ginormous x-post.

I use them to remind people to vote when I am at the library. A lot of what I do only happens if people vote.

Ta. For some reason I'm convinced that's my favourite fairy tale, although it feels modern for a fairy tale. I have no substantiation for that.

If you're going to be adding other stuff to it, you just want canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

I think my favoite fairy tale is "The Matchstick Girl." I loves me some bleak HCA.

Good to know, thanks! I'll be carting the pie about 90 miles, so odds are mixing would take place. Sort of like those earthquake simulators where the ground liquifies and everything sinks. Only with pie and whipped cream.

I think I read The Matchstick Girl once. I got it. I didn't need that again. God, the man was bleak. Didn't they remake that with the Rudy girl?
