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.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

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.

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.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yes, Sheryl, It's exhausting.

carmelizarkon
I want all my pies to have carmelizarkon from now on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Carmelizarkon sounds like a Doctor Who planet. And tasty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was starting to worry about my furnace, too, but it finally kicked on! Phew.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thanksgiving is a quiet day off for me, after the Christmas Carol marathon. The most I do is some kind of homemade root vegetable soup. I guess I should decide on a recipe so I can have the ingredients on hand.
My initial stress response after the 2016 election was to exercise and take self-defense classes. The stress eating didn't kick in until about a year ago but I think I've made up for the delay and managed to gain 12 lbs. I've recently started trying to at least stop that trend. I've been snacking on apples this week!
In my building, the apartment with the thermostat clearly stays warmer than mine. 64° indoors is too cold for me when I'm not doing physical work so I've got the space heater going.
I must have a new neighbor. Someone down the hall was practicing the bassoon this evening. Even scales and etudes are fun on a bassoon!
