Pianogirl sent this recipe to me a few years ago. I used it for one of Buster’s Eagle fund raisers, and people went berserk for it. With good reason. It’s incredibly delicious. Have some for me. Pianogirl’s Pumpkin Bread Pudding Note: This makes enough to fill a 9″ square pan…I always double the recipe & put it in a 9X13 pan. [I don’t add the raisins] 2 c. Half & Half 1 15-oz can pureed pumpkin (Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin)... Read more
I wanted to make a creamy, luscious Pumpkin Soup, but since I wanted it so badly, it went to the fasting, and I settled on making a beef/vegetable soup with short ribs and many veggies – quite hearty looking, since I threw in some noodles. Of course, then I realized I’d have to pick the noodles out of my serving. Dammit. Now, I’m off to buy a lovely loaf of French bread to go with it the soup and salad.... Read more
To my way of thinking, Joe the Plumber – singing the psalm of the common man, and representing the views of the middle class and what we once used to call “the Silent Majority” – has completely terrified the left, the Obama camp and the press. And so…he must be destroyed. So what happens to Mr. Wurzelbacher for expressing his views? Reports in the mainstream media appear claiming that he is unlicensed (even though he doesn’t need one as an... Read more
Apparently, the Obama – “they better not bring my wife into it” – Campaign has decided that it’s okay to go after spouses, now – translate that: just John McCain’s spouse. Confederate Yankee notes some out-and-out lying at the Washington Post. I’m sure the reporter just doesn’t know how to um…investigate stuff, like that blogger does. Well, who has time to check facts when there is a victory party to plan or winnings to be collected ‘way before the fact.... Read more
OOPS! I thought I’d published this earlier – turns out I’d only saved it! How many of you were waiting for McCain to say the C-word re those tee shirts? I did think McCain was stronger and more combative than last debate, but he clearly does not want to be a political pugilist. Was glad he mentioned vouchers, but I do believe I had predicted that he could not discuss Ayers except on Obama’s turf, thus neutralizing the issue. That’s... Read more
No, not me. I haven’t the stamina to watch-and-blog because I get too anal about trying to get “everything.” Not worth making myself nuts over. While you’re waiting though, take a look at what the Ohio Secretary of State thinks is Democracy in Action, and get a load of Gay Patriot’s state-by-state electoral fraud post. It ain’t pretty. I see the press already has their talking points from Lord Obama. If you’re looking for liveblogging, it’s usually fun times for... Read more
Yes, an obvious exaggeration, but this Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, needs to lose her job, yesterday. Almost as if she anticipated a court ruling a few hours later, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner promised yesterday to give county elections workers access to a list of possibly problematic voter registrations. She’d been sitting on them, you see. Something like 200,000 of them. She’s been told to provide by Friday; says can’t do it until Monday at least. Gotta buy... Read more
Okay, enough fun and games with the pie recipes – here’s a roundup of everything I’m finding interesting today. A smorgasboard. Bill Ayers is just a really nice guy in the neighborhood. I personally think McCain gains nothing in going after Ayers – particularly not in this debate where, having challenged McCain to say something “to my face” – Obama will be loaded for bear and ready to shoot down any concerns with appropriate (and mild-sounding) spin. But I’m sure... Read more
You people who feel the need – knowing I am fasting – to send luscious, delicious recipes my way, specifically pie recipes…all of you will be consigned to hellish flames of woe. Or, at least thrown into a good, longish stint in purgatory. Now, Don – a faithful reader for whom I have spent some time in prayer, mind you – sends me this abomination from Homesick Texan! There are pies and then there is my grandma’s chocolate pie. It’s... Read more
A “devoted reader” name of “Jason” sends me a “fan” email. He says he is a fan, but he is clearly a hit-man from the opposite camp – as I easily discerned upon reading his unusually cruel missive – the cruelest email I have ever received. I should not have believed his kind words. They were a big, fat set-up. A few strokes to my weary, battered ego, and then he unleashes absolute hell on me…in the form of a... Read more
