Have You?

 

 

 

Have you started your Christmas decorating yet?

 

I haven't.

 

But I've dusted.

 

 

 

 

 

And I sat and thought about it ...

 

 

 

 

 

And I sat and thought about it some more ...

 

 

 

 

 

So that counts right?

Nap Interrupted

 

 

 

How rude!  Mommy said she would take a long nap with me.  Well she only did for like five minutes and then she jumped up and left me for the kitchen.  She said she had to have ANOTHER piece of pumpkin pie.

 

Seriously?  She's already had two slices today!

 

Maggie

 

 

I interrupt Maggie's pouting to share my piece of pumpkin pie with you ...

 

 

 

 

 

Please ignore Maggie.  You know she gets a little bent out of shape during the holidays - always wanting my undivided attention and all.  I told her that it was STILL Thanksgiving weekend and I was not only savoring every moment of the occasion but wanted to savor EVERY bite of the holiday food too.   ;-)

 

Here's the recipe ...

 

Pumpkin Custard Pie

 

1  9 inch pie shell

1 cup pumpkin puree

3 eggs

1 T all purpose flour

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 cups evaporated milk

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In large bowl comine all ingredients.  Beat with a mixer until smooth.  Pour into pie shell.  Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set.  Chill in fridge overnight and serve with whipped topping of your choice.

 

I prefer Cool Whip   ;-)

 

Now I must go finish my nap with Maggie.

 

xo,

Kim

 

What's Better?

 

 

 

What's better than a freshly washed plate trimmed in colorful flowers?

 

 

A freshly washed plate with a piping hot sweet potato on it ...

 

 

 

 

 

;-)

 

xo,

Kim

Thank you for those who dearly love me and hold me oh so tight.

Thank you God for this day and for my being precious in your sight.

 

Amen.
