"Pompkin Pie & Christmas Gifts"!!!

Is everyone relaxing and back to normal, now that Christmas is a month behind us??? Is Everyone enjoying a break while we hibernate the winter away??? UGH!I have to confess "My Tree is STILL UP"!!! Good thing I live in the forest and the only ones who care are the WILDLIFE that peek in my windows and want to move in... Well, St Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and that's when the birdies take their mates(SO They'll be tapping on my windows to use all the cozy nests that are on my TREE)...Okay, it """SHOULD""" be down by then!!! I-Hope-I-Hope-I-Hope...
My son bought me two, of these incredibly beautiful, Emile Henry Artisan Ruffled Pie Dishes, for Christmas!(WhooHoo!)... It didn't have anything to do with "All The Hints I made all year"...or the fact that "I'm the official Pie Maker of the family"...I certainly "Happy Danced" for quite a long time as I HUGGED my new bounty! And of course, my baby boy got just what he deserved after such a "WISE GIFT"... Lots and Lots of Pies!!! It's taking me a while to get used to that VERY DEEP RUFFLED EDGE... BUT... "It makes the prettiest pies EVER"! Thank you Sean, "Love you to Pieces"!  If you'd like to see how they MADE my Emile Henry Artisan Ruffled Pie Dishes, check it out HERE...Have FUN while on tour in France at the factory... Do bring yourself home a few pieces too... I KNOW you'll love them!!!  My pompkin pie today is from the  "1796 American Cookery"(I have NOT misspelled pumpkin, this IS the spelling used in the Cookery)...The ingredients are very simple and "Oh So Good"! If you would like the recipe, I will add it here???   "Happy Happy New Year all My beautiful people in My Land of Blog"!!!
