aww yeah, it’s punkin’ pie
A few days ago, I snapped. I’ve been having a craving for pumpkin pie for several weeks now and I happened to be at Carrie’s when this happened — I saw some pumpkins on her porch and grabbed one hell bent on making a tasty pumpkin pie from scratch. None of that store-bought BS.
So I decimated the pumpkin into bits, gutted it and pulled out all the plop… or “pulp” as they call it. Then cooked small strips of the actual pumpkin gourd to soften it up for the “pumpkin puree” … then realizing that I was kind of going about it without a recipe I looked around to make sure I was doing it right . From everywhere I read, it looked like I had to use a “sugar pie pumpkin” and not a standard “halloween” pumpkin which I had… so I got nervous, shut the oven off and cancelled the raw pumpkin idea… but I still was jonesing for a homemade pie — so I got some CANNED puree.. and ended up using that for what turned out to be a fantastic pie… a “”Libby’s”-label pie as it were… I’m still not giving up on the real pumpkin idea, tho.
All Recipes has some alternative punkin’ pie recipes that look mighty tasty — there’s one that uses melted ice cream instead of evaporated milk. Hoowah.
Last night on “Lost”, instead of the plot moving forward … it had to take a few steps back again… but we did learn one very important thing: That Michelle Rodriguez annoys me.
Pitchfork recently posted their list of the worst record albums of all time. My favorite is ‘Ken - by request only’ — isn’t he a dreamboat?
