Canadian Thanksgiving

The recipe called for a cup of milk but it looked too watery so I added half a cup. Still too watery so I added corn starch and simmered it till it thickened. The filling thickened overnight. It tasted great but I will just buy the canned stuff from now on. It just takes too much time. The whipped cream saved it.

Walmart had great pies on sale. 2 for $10 including pecan, apple, and pumpkin.

I tried the pecan first. It was good but really too sweet. I shared it with the neighbours.

The pumpkin I ate in stages. I love pumpkin and squash and sweet potatoes also.

@Camper6 Did you ever eat your pie? I used to bake, smash, strain & do a whole lot more straining. I see they sell pumpkins for pies now. From scratch is so much better.

I’ve been using the same recipe from Better Homes since my 20s. Haven’t made one in years but this year I’m craving a pie, even if it’s just for the two of us. Now I need to buy a can of milk. I have the can of pumpkin.

Evaporated milk and not the 2% stuff.

Yes I ate the pie. The spices make the pumpkin pies.

Yes the pie pumpkins are smaller than the jack o lanterns.

I think it's a crime to throw away all those pumpkins just for decoration at Halloween.

That's a lot of good food gone to waste.

They could be donated to farms. Pigs love pumpkins .. maybe goats too (?)

Camper if you find a couple of bargain pie pumpkins use them whole for decorations and bake them after Halloween

I invited 2 guests for thanksgiving supper, told them to come early if they wanted.
A turkey and a pumpkin.
Neither one showed up..........HOW RUDE.

I had to read that more than once. Fortunately for me, I finally got it or my response would have been quite different (sympathetic to you...).

Nice one!! :) :)
