Halloween decor 2020
Thinks he’s a Halloween pumpkin.
Has not yet realized he is a Thanksgiving pumpkin.
Pokeball candy bucket. And pumpkin!
World’s cutest homegrown pumpkin!
(Actually it grew itself accidentally from the compost heap and through the roses …)
Who’s an adorable ghost punkin then? Yes you is. You so certainly am. Just all the most adorbsable you are.
Yes.
Salt roasted pumpkin pie. And pumpkin blondies.
How sweet it is
to bake a snack,
And lift champagne
for toasting.
‘Tis grand to eat
A homemade treat,
But just as important:
the posting.
(Used my mooncake mold to make the shape.)
Thanks to #scamperingkaos for the idea! This filling worked perfectly: easy to glob in the center of the dough and roll/mold, did not expand/explode/leak during baking, and was fluffy and creamy to bite into.
Dough:
Mix wet together:
Mix dry together:
Then mix the wet and dry together and chill until very cold.
Filling:
Roast some pumpkin (or a sweet potato). Cool it. Peel it. Mash it with salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla to taste. A little soymilk or cream is nice. Add a little oil, margarine, or butter, and then beat it until fluffy. Taste to make sure it is delicious, adjust seasonings, try not to eat all of it. Put down that spoon I see you. Now chill. Put the bowl of filling in the fridge, too, if you like. It should be room temperature or cooler before assembly.
Roll out circles of the cold dough, put a small scoop of filling on each. Close up, pinch shut and roll to smooth roundness. Stamp with cookie stamps (if available), then bake 350F until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
Salt roasted pumpkin pie
Peel and chop pumpkin and Vidalia onions.
Saute until browned.
Add salt, pepper, thyme, garlic and onion powder. Also a handful of crackers.
Pour in enough vermouth to half submerge everything. Put on the lid and let it all steam on low heat.
The crackers should melt in and thicken the broth.
When the pumpkin is fork tender, turn off the heat and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce, another of cream, and Tabasco, to taste.
Use any milk you like, or none at all. Vermouth is the base liquid – the half and half is just seasoning.
Serve with as much black pepper and crackers as you like.
(if I had only scooped and nuked the other half pumpkin, I could have served in it … )
And cake, too. Because indecisive.
And there is always extra custard after I make pie.
Mix it with a vanilla box cake mix & bake. With chocolate chips.
Mmmmmmm.
Recipe, more or less:
Only now we swap out the first bit for “pick home grown pumpkin” instead of the buying / scavenging part, because we’ve come full circle.
Yes, home grown pumpkins are sweeter and better tasting. Like baby zucchini and vine ripened tomatoes and fresh peas.
Also, pro tip: just cut in half, scoop out guts, then nuke on fresh veg setting until soft. Then scoop out flesh with spoon and mash. (Skip all the peeling and chopping part.) Then make pie.
:/
This is actually v important and needs to be reblogged
Gonna just share this:
My European Studies professor decided a few weeks ago to take a Friday and instead of following the syllabus, he spent the entire hour and a half comparing Hitler’s actions from a European perspective to that of what Trump is doing in America. He never repeated a single point, and even used video and photos like this to show the comparison.
To make things better, he had us do an in class assignment for participation points. He first played a clip on youtube of one of Hilter’s speeches, subtitled and 3 minutes long. He then played a clip of one of Trump’s rallies. Our assignment? Copy down every single sentence that matched in translation down on a sheet of paper or a word document that wasn’t repeated. The person with the closest amount to what my professor found got a candy bar.
My professor found, in just three minutes of a speech, that Trump matched 65 different phrases/sentences to that of Hitler’s translation.
65 nearly identical phrases used in his speeches. Take a moment to think about that.
I cannot stress this enough
