First Try

I made myself a pie tonight!
My first attempt at making a pumpkin pie, and it was more or less successful.
Please don't look at the crust too closely. I totally cheated and used the Pillsbury Rolled Refrigerated Pie Crust and it wasn't completely at room temperature like they suggest on the box. So, as I rolled the edges around the pie plate I had to wet my fingers to soften the dough a bit, but it turned out just as tasty.

For the filling, I followed the recipe on the can of Libby's Pure Pumpkin. For some reason it taste like I used too much evaporated milk. Not sure why? I'll be trying another recipe very soon.

Here it is. Happy pie with a wonky crust. :-)

Two days ago, I decided to reknit my green scarf.

Back in April, I knit the scarf in a k1, p1 rib. At first, I loved how it turned out but after a while I wasn't able to wrap it the way I liked, it was too thick for my liking.
This time I reknit the scarf using Jen Reilly's pattern, Super-Fast, Ultra-Cozy Scarf. The scarf turned out much more relaxed. I'm loving it!

Here's hoping your baked goods turn out tasty and your knitting turns out lovely. :-)

I bet that pie is wonderful. I guess I will have to head to the grocery store tomorrow. You have got me in the mood. I have really enjoyed my scarves already this year. We just went to a Christmas concert and I had 2 compliments on my green scarf that you made me. I love it.

Ummmmm that pie looks good. I often use the refigerated pie crusts when I don't have time to roll one. They are flaky, just fine. I love pumpkin pie, I have to make a few in a week or so. I'll post my recipe also.

Believe this or not, I am on another computer and don't have your email AGAIN. Email me when you get a minute- I have a question to ask you.
