It is so hard to find a good pumpkin pie.

HEY EVERYBODY..LET'S BAKE A PIE!!!!!!
Do you like Pumpkin Pie?

I DO I DO !!!
Here is a trick that I do to make my pie.. just a little sweeter than normal.

READY???

Instead of baking my pumpkin, I candy it like a sweet potato.
Just dissolve 3 cups of sugar in as little water as it takes, and pour it over the pumpkin when you bake it.
Baste it every 20 minutes with the juices.
Let it sit a week or so before you make the pies and let the flavor smooth out.

Then just make your pie like normal.
Scald a cup of condensed milk in a 1/2 cup water
In a bowl....a mixing bowl, not a pipe you pot head.
beat 3 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar around 4 cups of pumpkin 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/4 tsp cloves and nutmeg. Then beat in the hot milk mix, pour in shells 350F 55 min.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Astronauts surprised by holiday turkey dinners

Space shuttle Atlantis' astronauts thought they were going to give thanks with pantry leftovers Thursday as their mission drew to a close, but found turkey dinners awaiting them.

The meal switch was revealed Thursday morning when a TV interviewer brought up the absence of turkey dinners aboard Atlantis. "That's not going to be on your menu today, is it?" the interviewer asked.

"Shockingly, yes, I think it will be," commander Charles Hobaugh said as some of his crew members grabbed the still unopened pouches of turkey and trimmings, and let them float around.

Hobaugh, a no-nonsense Marine, had made it clear before the 11-day flight that he did not care what he ate on the holiday, be it beef brisket or tofu. He made no special meal requests.

But somehow, smoked and irradiated turkey ended up on Atlantis, along with pouches of candied yams and freeze-dried cornbread stuffing and green beans — just add water and bon appetit.

A NASA spokesman, John Ira Petty, said "the only conceivable thing" that could have happened is that the crew of the International Space Station sneaked the meals into the shuttle before it departed Wednesday.

"Thanksgiving to me has not always been about the food you eat, but the company you keep, and I'm keeping some outstanding company here," Hobaugh said Thursday.

Hobaugh said he can't wait to get home and share a late Thanksgiving meal with his family. "But in the meantime, I've got a great group of friends and I'm really thankful for that," he said.

Weeks if not months ago, NASA had stocked the space station with turkey dinners and all the trimmings, knowing there would be at least one American in orbit during the U.S. holiday. Jeffrey Williams is the lone U.S. resident, sharing the outpost with two Russians, one Belgian and one Canadian.

Williams — the station's new skipper — was likely responsible for the Thanksgiving surprise. It wasn't known, on Earth anyway, whether any of the shuttle astronauts were in on it.
