Seriously, is 7pm, in the dark, the time to blow leaves off the driveway? (Mostly I'm complaining because I'm trying to rewatch Supernatural and I can't find my headphones and I also have the washing machine going. CC is nice, but I'm losing out on the experience).
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.
Ooh, that sounds delicious. But I am scared of phyllo.
The pie-cake would work pretty well in muffin tins, I bet. Sticky, but still finger food.
Intriguing! Maybe I'll try that.

My favorite fruit pie is peach pie.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The pumpkin pie recipe I make uses canned coconut milk instead of condensed milk
The lactose-intolerant section of the crowd would love to hear more!
This recipe is meant to be crustless if you make it as written (it's from a gluten-free blog, so it calls for gluten-free flour, but if you don't need it to be gluten free and you want to go the crustless route, just substitute regular flour). However, I'm fairly certain that if you leave out the flour entirely, you can just pour the filling into a pie crust. I haven't tried that, but I'd be willing to bet it works. Here's the recipe (it has gotten RAVE reviews from everyone who I've made it for): [link]

I know the best bet is to leave stocks be and let them ride out the day-to-day variations. But I suspect that annuity is losing money, what with the super low interest rate. Between that annuity and my 401K I only have a year's worth of current income anyway, so I might as well tweak it a little.

I get the pre-made rolls. There are loads of sheets in each roll, so when I inevitably tear one (or maybe six) it doesn't much matter. And minor tears seem to disappear in the oven. It is a bit tedious to lay out and paint six or so sheets with butter, though.

The problem with cashing out annuities is that they usually had high up-front costs.

Ooh, Tep that looks awesome. I'd probably go full-on vegan for my brother's girlfriend if I were making it for Thanksgiving.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I am thinking I should find out where John Boehner lives - I'm guessing it's some gated community in the deep suburbs - and go stand in front of his house with torches and pitchforks. You're with me, right, Teppy?
I've been thinking that if enough of us surround the Capitol with pitchforks and torches and don't allow any food inside they'll either work it out quickly or go Lord of the Flies on each other. Either way could be a win.
