Sounds verra tasty! And now I'm off to my not-two-ingredients-but-still-not-hard pumpkin cake.

Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
That's brilliant Nicole - did you make that up? What spice cake mix do you use?
I'm bringing the easiest pie ever tomorrow.
step 1. stop at Marie Callendars
step 2. cut a hole in the box?
Just say no to creme pies.
did you make that up? What spice cake mix do you use?
I found it on allrecipes dot com. Good site. And I just used Betty Crocker, I think.
eta: For the cookies, another reviewer of the cake said to just add choc chips to the same recipe and drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet, bake for 15 minutes. I'm trying that tonight.
I like a cream pie sometimes but for Thanksgiving it has to be pumpkin and pecan
I can't link to last years hello kitty toaster saga from here. But 2 hours into our holiday drive I asked "so what does everyone wish for for Christmas?"
And this little voice pipes up from the backseat:
"I haven't gotten a hello kitty toaster that works."
First time she's brought it up since January. We just about died laughing.
A question/advice needed from the parents:
An old friend is in town for the holiday, her parents live here. She mentioned that she would be in the city to go to a museum. I emailed "hey, why don't we grab a drink and catch up while you're here". she said "lunch would be better, since we'll have the kids with us"
I don't want to be rude, but I wasn't trying to invite her husband (who I don't know very well, and she complains about him not watching the kids when they're together) or her kids, I wanted to get together to catch up with her. This is an awkward situation, because I believe that a parent's focus should be on their kid, but I still get annoyed when we can't have a conversation because they are making sure their kid doesn't knock something over, or the kid is asking questions every five minutes. How do I say/imply "I don't want to see your kids, I want to see you" without being rude? I was going to say something like I was hoping for some quality time with you, but if she says "oh, I have to bring the kids" or whatever, is it possible to say that I'd rather not meet up without sounding like a complete kid hater? I like kids, but I know that I will get frustrated if we don't get to actually spend any time together.
