Zenkitty, not to add to your worries, but in the short term we will have bigger things to worry about than the stock market if this shit doesn't get handled.
Yeah, but those things I can't do anything about. My stock portfolio, at least, I can. Though I probably shouldn't.
I'm a strawberry-rhubarb fan. Or just plain rhubarb, even.
This is the pumpkin pie I made last Thanksgiving, and it instantly became my favorite. It's like halfway between a standard pumpkin pie and a pumpkin cheesecake, and it is DIVINE.
Can you share the maple walnut pie recipe, Consuela?
OK, here's another baking question: what can I make with a lot of apples that you can eat with your hands? This cake wouldn't work so well as a bring-to-the-office item.

Oooh. Instead of canned condensed milk, you use cream cheese? YUM. The pumpkin pie recipe I make uses canned coconut milk instead of condensed milk, but I think I want to try this cream cheese one.
I wish I had management of my stocks, I'd diversify out of company stock a little. Though my company is doing well. Maybe I'll cash out that annuity that's getting 1% or so, take the penalty hit, and see what I can do on my own with it. I'll have to see if inflation is wiping out interest gains.

The lactose-intolerant section of the crowd would love to hear more!
OK. I just saw an ad where a mom says "The backseat of my Subaru is where she grew up." Do people not Do It in the backseat of cars anymore??? That is NOT what they meant.
One CI recipe I read for blueberry grated an apple into some of the blueberries and pre-cooked them, b/c apples are high in pectin.
And tapioca.
Is tapioca really starchy?
It's starchy, insofar as it's a starch.

You could try apple strudel. I made this a couple of weeks ago, and it came out well. [link] It could probably be finger food, in a slightly buttery, flakey way.
