I’m still here.  I didn’t fall off the planet.  But I’m still eyebrow deep in Puritan clothes.  But I did take a break last night to bake.  The weather turned.  And I couldn’t help it.  The punkins call to me. 

Sara’s Pumpkin Pie

1 1/2 cans of pumpkin puree’ (not pumpkin pie filling)
3 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 deep dish pie shell

I’m not a pie crust purist.  I have two kids and one of them likes to wear one of the plastic parts from the food processor as a bit of armour when he’s being a knight.  I think the heavy cream makes up for the store boughten pie shell, yes?  Yes.  Mix the filling ingredients well, pour into the unbaked pie shell, bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour.  The center will seem a bit jiggly.  Have it for breakfast.  Tell ‘em I said it was okay. 

And that in the background, those are Kitty’s jumbo pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, her reward for spotting the obscure movie bits that I leave here frequently, as I haven’t had an original thought since 1989.  You’re right, you’re right, I know you’re right.  They’re on their way, sweetie.
