Amy,
I would love s3 of Deadwood.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Amy,
I would love s3 of Deadwood.
ok, then, that's cool. I should probably not put more stuff in here now anyway, but I just wouldn't want to think it was not enjoyed by somebody. Another time.
All of my onerous tasks have been work-related today, and oh ho ho ho.
I made a chess pie, and have a second crust chilling in the fridge. Maybe I'll make a pie for my sister's birthday or something.
What's chess pie? Or I could google.
My neighbor is setting up Halloween decor so I keep hearing mechanical creepy voices. I feel like I am in a bad horror movie. There are blow up pumpkins and a Grim Reaper thing. I think it's the Reaper that keeps talking. I thought I was prepared with nearly 20 pounds of candy. I am clearly not as prepared as I could be.
Ooh, the pie shop near me should have their cranberry chess pie back soon. Must go check this weekend.
Brenda, what distinguishes a cranberry chess pie? Is it studded with cranberries, or do they make it with cranberry sauce, or what?
Cass, a chess pie is basically a custard pie with cornmeal in it. The recipe I use also calls for lemon, so you get a simple pie with a real nice texture and some lemony tang. I think the name "chess" comes from "jess" pie, as in a pie made just with stuff you'd find in your cabinet.
Thanks to you guys and the gift certificate you sent me, I just went into the fancy grocery for bread and also grabbed salt and vinegar (!) popcorn (!!) without even looking at the (ridiculous) price. So thanks! I would never have gotten it for myself, which I think is a hallmark of good gift-giving.
Layer of cranberries on top. It is delish.
