Love "punkin pie", if it's made right; of course what's right to me might not suit someone else, but most pun'kin pie is good - now pun'kin pie spice in other stuff? Not so much.

Here's a funny story from my fambly past:

My uncle love his mom's pumpkin pie, so much so that he always asked for his own whole pie. He also did not like squash of any kind, and always complained about having squash at Sunday meals, so much so that his mom got sort of ticked at him about it. So one Sunday, after church as usual, we went to the grandparents house for dinner, and whaddayaknow? No squash, even though it was the height of Summer - but there were a few pumpkin pies, and Uncle requaested his own as usual and was rewarded with a whole pie and all the whipped cream he wanted. So, after he'd pretty well decimated that pie, commenting that he thought it was about the best "pumpkin pie" she had ever mad, Mammaw asked everyone what they thought of her banana squash pie. He got so mad about being fooled that he took his family and left, and was not in evidence for a couple of weeks after. After that, he avoided pumpkin pie.

I cooked Breakfast on the Patio(scrambled eggs/bacon). There is no better smell than frying bacon outside. I had wonderful weather for it.

I took a nap this afternoon. The temps are in the middle 70s, I could get used to this cooler weather. No clue for Supper. We had kabobs, baked potatoes and a salad for Supper last night.

What is funny is I made a squash pie one time and the wife wouldn't eat it, said she didn't like squash. LOL pumpkins are just a group of cultavars of winter squash generally round and orange. Although sometimes called the Dickensen Field Pumpkin, the most common cultavar for store bought pumpkin looks more like a squash, or rather what people think a squash looks like.

Grandpa used to grow these. What is funny is most of the pumpkins you find at the store this month ain't fit to eat being bred to carve. If you want to make pie from scratch look for the small pie/sugar pumpkins and if you have no luck finding them just use butternut squash and no one will know the differance. LOL

I have decided the latest conspriracy to worry about is the Pumpkin Spice everything. I am sure they are putting it in something in the pumpkin pie spice mixes that takes over peoples minds, and it does not affect people like me who mix their own. Making a pie with a store box mix is just a gateway drug and it will take over and you'll want all that weird stuf.

It's as bad as the green match head one I pointed out a couple years ago, (thanks to a friend I am now getting red head matches made in Chili that are better than the long gone Ohio Blue tips).

We need to fight this Yuppie conspiracy or we'll all be driving Prius's, Smart Cars and BMW SUV's and drinking weird lattes made with soy milk and pooping out digested tofu. Just say no to pumpkin spice unless it's a real homemade pumpkin pie.

Afternoon y'all,I'm sitting in the waiting room of Albany Medical waiting to see my Brother in law, he was life flighted here because he was too stubborn to go to the doctor 3 weeks ago. His heart is working at about 10% and his lungs were half filled with fluid. The Doctor thinks they can pull him through, but it wouldn't hurt to keep him in your thoughts. His name is tom,he's 58 years old. Thanks

Good Troy · « **Reply #55 on:** October 05, 2015, 11:27:39 AM »

Prayers in progress for him and his family.
