Where are you putting them away? In the cookie jar or in your stomach?
Complaint: We don't have an autumn-themed food based holiday. I don't know what pumpkin pie tastes like, only that people say it's gooood.
...just had some cookies and hot cocoa before heading off to sleepy land..
Best medicine to chase the frustrations and stress of earlier in the day away (will detail later) and make one feel all nice and warm inside.
Going to be down below freezing for the next several nights (fortunately no precipitation until next Wednesday), Good I laid in a supply of cocoa. for the duration.
Night all.
It's mid. Sweet potato pie is better. I am surprised, though, because I thought harvest festivals were more or less universal across agrarian societies.
Argument: No! Pumpkin pie is better!
It even beats pecan pie. And a thin slice of cold pumpkin pie is a great napkin treat, eat it like a soft candy bar. Mmmm... pumpkin.
Yesterday, while out shopping, I would have bought a pumpkin pie instead of pecan but I couldn't justify the calories of a whole pumpkin pie. I got the pecan pie because they had a tiny, personal sized one. Regardless of size, neither one would have lasted more than 24 hours in my presence.
It just started snowing, the system that has inundated Salt Lake City and the Rockies finally moved onto Denver. The cats had a zoomie war at 2am, with me as a goal post. Tomorrow I will make a pie crust and pumkin pie and then a tamale pie for dinner. Friday we wake early, flatmate has to be at work by 05:30am for Black Friday. Making avocado toast for him so he can withstand the ravaging hoards and the supervisor from hell's last day. Yeah.
And still the DAZ site is demanding I decide on 'Preferences' every time a page is changed! I thought that was fixed? Doesn't DAZ realize it ruins the shopping experience and I leave the store without buying?
Non-complaint (for me, anyway): It's snowing outside and very pretty.

Probably not so fun for people who need to drive and/or fly places today.
Complaint: People who put their trash bags in the hallway instead of just taking them down to the dumpster straight away. "This trash smells, but I am lazy, I'll just make it everyone else's problem instead of my own."
I put most of them in a generic zip lock bag. One broke into pieces when I tried to remove it from the pan. I couldn't put a broken cookie in the bag.
so I had to eat it.
I don't work tomorrow. I wasn't scheduled nor I have any transportation for tomorrow. At least not to work.
I hope my stepdad can pick me up to visit my mum, him and the kitties. That is why I wanted to make cookies.
My transportation method is taking tomorrow off for some reason. Uber might be running but I don't like to use Uber.
Hey how much snow did you get? When I cleaned off my van, I think I may have had just 1.5 inches on the top. But if you heard 9News this morning, keep in mind we are going to be in the teens during the night and all that melted snow will be black ice in the morning. I am so glad I am not driving tomorrow.
I had the drapes open and just watched the snow fall as I was finally rendering the Death 9 add-on characters.
Complaint: I forgot to run the dForce simulation. Start a render, look in half an hour later to see an almost completed image featuring a very starchy dress.
Non-complaint: This ready-made lunch meal I found discounted is delicious. It's got pork in Hoisin sauce, rice, water chestnuts, carrots and some kind of beans.
Ah yes, the mystery bean meals... They work every time.
Just a dusting of snow (mostly very light rain) here this morning. But much more snow, and freezing temps expected by the end of the day, and over the weekend, and through all next week.
"Lake Effect" snow. Wheee....
Highs in the 60s lows in the 30s.
Waiting for my ride to my mum's. That is my stepdad. I hope I'm not bringing to much for his standards.
Pumpkin pie (filling) tastes like a dense paste made of a very sweet and buttery squash flavored with nutmeg and cinnamon...
Served warm, it is tastier and butterier, and the texture is more creamy... at room temperature it goes best with a dollop of whipped cream on top and cold, it is denser and the sweetness subdued by the nutmeg usually...
This depends of course on the recipe and atmospheric pressure as well as the quantity of Aragon in the air... anything less than 0.91% and you can taste the myristcin in the nutmeg more which makes the cinnamaldehyde and eugenyl acetate in the cinnamon less potent dulling their contribution to the effect...
Generally I'd avoid eating pumpkin pie in one of those deep sea diving bells because the gas mixtures usually dull the flavor to where it's reminiscent of dollar store (pound shop, pound store) furniture wax... I'd also recommend never eating pumpkin pie in a methane atmosphere because the Myristicin in the nutmeg tastes very sour and breathing methane is kinda lethal to most people born on earth...
I find eating the entire pie at a thanksgiving dinner is also frowned upon by most individuals attending such gatherings and consuming more than one is apparently even less acceptable.
Generally if where you live is devoid of pumpkin pie, or the ingredients to manifest one, you can simulate the experience by mixing "pumpkin spice" flavoring into an industrial tofu paste and adding a small quantity of ultra-fine ground sawdust (for texture)... as long as your breathable atmosphere chemistry and pressure is within tolerance, this should simulate the experience of store bought pumpkin pie filling to within 88.694% of the National Pumpkin Pie Standards recommended taste levels.
If pumpkin spice flavoring is not available where you live, please contact your local government offices and thank them for doing a good job.
I'm sorry I can't mail you a slice of pumpkin pie, but I don't know where you live and it's better off that way, as I'm an insufferable pest and will keep mailing you odd things I find at the side of the road... and apparently most international postal services are touchy about flat squirrels in leaky envelopes... and I'm guessing the pie would probably get a little squashed too.
Anyway... I hope this helps and happy VT Day!
The historical context of "Thanksgiving" was lost over the centuries when VT Day was renamed to sell more pumpkin pie in 1923... I'd explain the whole history of Victory over the Turkeys Day, but I'm afraid nobody wants to learn about history or better yet, learn from it... I'm afraid we are doomed to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over...
Anyway... hope this was helpful!
It's been a very festive day in the My Pie Was Made By An Alchemist Complaint Thread.
... missed you here..
That made my day better.
Gladiator II showed pumpkins in a garden. Well they looked like pumpkins? I thought they weren't native to Europe and weren't introduced there until at least a thousand years later?
Complaint: The sky is falling: The buses aren't running, and I need to get to my drugstore for critical prescriptions that were not available until today.
Non-complaint: 3 hours, 20 minutes later and my prescription problem is resolved. Yay! A friend braved the snowstorm and drove me out there. She had things she had to do in town anyway. Cool!
I'm at my favorite mall. Currently quiet. Probably going to be busy in a few hours?
I so miss the humor that is McGyver's! Welcome back!
They're talking about building this fancy undersea restaurant in my hometown, much like Under at Lindesnes. (I've been to Lindesnes a couple of times, but never inside that restaurant.) If they ever build it, because getting permission to build anything in this municipality can apparently take up to 15 years of processing, I suppose pumpkin pie won't be on the menu.
Especially since it's meant to be a sea-food place. (With windows into the sea, so you can see the food swimming around outside.)
Factual Information: There's a psychological condition known as submechanophobia. This is when you're irrationally peeved by submerged or semi-submerged objects. It's not a fear of the water itself, but of things in it. Innocuous things that don't bother you when they're on dry land become a whole other universe of nope once they're under water. You just want to be away from it, at least far enough that you won't accidentally touch it, and preferably so far that you don't see the underwater part of it. If you're bothered by lights and vents in pools, and don't even like using the ladders to get out, you may have submechanophobia.
Complaint: I definitely have submechanophobia!
Photos like this and this and THIS just make me so uncomfortable. I'm sitting here, in my recliner, wanting to swim away from them. I love swimming, I love water, but I hate buoys, mooring blocks, chains, and worst of all: frickin PIPES. And yet, I like torturing myself with looking at pictures of creepy stuff under water.
If the Gladiator films are set in Rome anything much more than two-thousand years later would be our future. The Colosseum was built, or started, by Vespasian as I recall so that would hit two-thousand years old in the 2070s.
But she only said a thousand years. That would still be our past, because the Roman Empire as seen in the Gladiator movies ended long before the 1000s.
When did Europeans start colonising North America? I'm guessing they mean starting with the Mayflower, rather than with Columbus, so 1620s? However! It sounds like melons were grown in Europe, because the Greek had a name for them:
I suppose the Pilgrims can't have been the first Europeans to "encounter" pumpkins, since the French and English already had called them names. But it sounds like they'd just described and illustrated them for their books, and the first colonisers didn't actually see a pumpkin in real life until they landed in the New World. So, there were no pumpkins in Rome, but there may have been melons.
So now we know they did! And many types of melons look like pumpkins, because they're related. Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
I misread the original comment, sorry (though it did prompt an interesting digression).
....the temperature, not the sky, is falling here...down below freezing tonight and the next several nights. This usually doesn't happen until late December into mid January here.
TIme for more hot cocoa..
Non-complaint: Well, we didn't get as much snow as predicted, only about 6 inches here,
but snows all next week too.
The heavy snows were right along the eastern shores of Lake Erie. Erie, Pennsylvania got hit hard.
Complaint: I had another bloody nose again last night. (*Sigh*)
Stopped it quickly, but sigh.
"Black Friday" in Erie, Pennsylvania:
Just as predicted, no snow today so far. But it is cold. Where are my darn winter coats?
