Hey. New board.

My family is a big fan of cranberry jello "salads" that can be made to various levels of sweetness. Most recipes definitely hit the dessert level of sugar (my wife often cuts out 2/3 or more of the sugar to serve with the turkey). The one she makes is very similar to this one [link] but with no celery and strawberry jello.

Hey. New board.

The only thing I'm eating after the dinner itself though is Cooks Illustrated Best Pumpkin Pie (the complicated one with both pumpkins and yams) made with the Food Lab's Easy Pie Crust and homemade whipped cream. I will have one pie, everybody else can share the other one.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Trader Joe's has a frozen gluten free pie crust now, and I'm going to make a test pumpkin pie with it this weekend to see how it is. Tim is very happy to get bonus pie.

I always make this pie [link] and it's pretty amazing.

(I use that for the filling--I do something else for crust.)

I usually make at least 2 pies, one of them maple/walnut (or maple/pecan) but this year I'm hosting for only 3 people, so I think just a single apple pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We'll be 10-12 people, and will likely have pumpkin pie, apple pie, chocolate mousse pie, pecan pie, and whatever I make.

I usually make a pumpkin pie with more of a mousse-y texture, and then put it in a ginger snap-pecan crust. Usually with a little apricot jam between crust and pie, for tang and carmelizarkon.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't even care much about pie, but y'all are making me hungry.

Trying to focus on anything other than the mess Florida is making of voting again. At least I am getting some work and reading done.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Occasionally I fantasize about ejecting several states from the Union which would bring the average competence of America up a little... then I remember the people I do know who live in the various states and couldn't bear to do that to them.

I drove hard for 5 hours this morning... and grossed just $93. Which doesn't actually work out to be that much when you consider that I'm paying for my own gas, et cetera. Usually I get at least one considerable-sized fare that brings up the average. OTOH, passengers were pretty nice.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The computer room looks like a tornado hit it. Mr. S strikes again. (I know, he's 3, but it's exhausting dealing with him.)
