I have never had a pumpkin pie. They don't make it in South Africa.

My British friends in the US say that they can’t source “proper” mincemeat in the USA easily. It doesn’t taste like the UK version and my friend in California said the one she could get contained pineapple. They all seem to make their own mincemeat ... or get visiting relatives to bring a jar or two
Urghh, ... I have a lot "Bok" from my chicken .....Bok is a bad word in Turkish. It means what the chicken leave behind in rather significant amounts when they walk around.
Yes, it does ( making purring sounds ) but when I touch the paws I will get scratched
Does your computer make strange purring sounds too? It looks like this condition will persist at least throughout the winter.
Hello, Sabine!
Be careful with yourself Ed. A pacemaker is no bad thing and no big operation when you need it.
Yes it does and when I touch the paws they will scratch me ! Nasty and bad computer virus !
Love it!!!!!! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji106]

All this talk of pies is giving me a hankering for buttermilk pie! [emoji848]
I may have to make one this afternoon!!!!

And you probably don’t have the right types of pumpkin either. When I worked in New Zealand I was surprised to see that they serve roast pumpkin as a savory dish with meats- much like one would serve potatoes! My NZ friends were very skeptical of using pumpkin in a sweet pie. I recall the pumpkins in the stores as being much larger than our pie pumpkins, too. Obviously a very different variety.
Good Christmas Chicken afternoon all.
Back from church, I embarked on a baking session. Traditional British mince pies. Mince meat is a spiced preserve made from sultanas, raisins, apple and citrus peel. Centuries ago it would have contained minced meat too, but these days there’s just a little suet in the mix.

And the next job is the ironing ... I don’t want to do it, but I don’t want it glaring at me over Christmas either
What? The mince pies don’t have any meat in them? I want my money back!!!

I have heard that you can lure that particular virus out with treats.Yes it does and when I touch the paws they will scratch me ! Nasty and bad computer virus !
I never thought of that. We also serve pumpkin as a veg. But we do make pumpkin fritters. Sort of like a flapjack but made with pumpkin and flour and egg. Then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.
Hmmmmmmmmm, have to " love " language teachers who have students learn words they will never use naturally. -10 for not a good word .... + 11 for an interesting new word. How many folks know what this word means?
- Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɪkɔːr/) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek πέτρα petra, meaning "stone", and ἰχώρ īchōr, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology
I never knew the meaning of that word
