They didn't have any fresh pies at the store I went to, so I got a frozen one and baked it.

LOL, I suspected you didn't make it from scratch but I did puzzle over that a bit.

[Cillaliz]

I really want to see The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but am going to stay home.  I'm also missing a friend's art show and seeing a band some friends play in, but home is where I should be right now

Yes, staying home is what you need to do.

I try my best, but there isn't anyone to go to the store for me or do that sort of thing, I'm sure I looked like a Zombie on Monday at the pharmacy in my sweat pants, sweat shirt and bedroom slippers...lol

I realize you need to go for some things, though to me pie and butter would not be items to go out for-lol  Dressing warm and comfortable is good.  At least your weather has been good, cold temps really mess with bronchitis. 

Well I went to work for two days...   Seriously, it doesn't matter what it is, there isn't anyone else to do it, so I go.

[TCB]

My car was not returned today.....so I have no transportation to the play.....others don't seem to be inclined to loan a vehicle for such an excursion....so no play.

You can borrow my car, but you have to come and get it.

[Jane]

I get it.  It is playtime that has to be cut

[Cillaliz]

It is warm here.  It's still 58 degrees out right now and tomorrow the high will be near 80. 

[vixmom]

well as the Beatles sang

I'm a loser
I'm a loser

[Cillaliz]

You're never a loser in my book, Vixmom....of course I didn't taste the chili

[Cillaliz]

My pumpkin pie was quite good.  It was  a Mrs. Smith's but had a different flavor that usual. Not sure what it is, but I liked it

I have made pumpkin pies from scratch, from pumpkin. But I've done more apple.   Not today though

[TCB]

I have never had rhubarb pie. It never looked good to me.

It isn't.

Probably mixed with rhubarb!

Pie-- always rhubarb.  And Marie Callender's was one of the best.  So, since Marie Callender left the state of Arizona, I try to get people coming from other western states to bring a pie with them when they come to town (or come back to  town).  It has only worked once so far.

I knew I liked you for a very good reason. Rhubarb pie rules. No strawberry. Just wonderful stuff.

[vixmom]

I was trying to post some pictures  right after my last post and I received an error message " Server not found at  Haineshisway"

[vixmom]

so I will try again

[vixmom]

the Vixter is in the lower left hand corner put tape on the back of the record that fell down

[vixmom]

[TCB]

Vixmom, ,did you get some compliments on your chili?

[John G.]

Happy Pi Day!

My favorite would anything with fruit, especially cherry, but over the years I've also made hundreds of chocolate-pecan pies, which are served in Louisville on Derby Day. They were my go-to Christmas gift for years, and I could make three at a time.

Here's a recipe, plus recipes for 10 more favs.

I never received one for Christmas.

LOL. Probably too much bourbon for you. I'll have to make you something else for Christmas.

Just wonderful stuff?  You mean just crust.

Although I did not win for best decorated booth or a prize for my chili; it appears that it was only the judges who were unimpressed -

Many  people (including the person who won best booth) said they  thought mine was better - and I was the first one to run out of chili because of the number of people who came back for seconds (and thirds) and the number who came over and said they were told they had to try mine because it was so good.

 

[John G.]

That's a rather zombie-looking Fab Four, Vixmom.

I like.

[vixmom]

The person who  won first place also won last year with the same recipe

I am afraid I didn't care for it at all  it was turkey chili  white beans , corn and carrots

 

[TCB]

Is that cheese and onion in those containers?

Yeah, I would have to just look at it.

[John G.]

Starting to watch Boyhood. Wish I had time to watch it on one piece, but that is not to be.

[vixmom]

[vixmom]

this is the winning booth

[vixmom]

He also won third place for his chili -  I would have awarded him first place for the chili it was made of brisket and it was amazing!

[vixmom]

I like.

the finished product did not match the image in my head - but it did attract a lot of attention!

[vixmom]

 no, salsa in one, sour cream in another and shredded "Mexican blend" cheese in the third
