re: #272 MandyManners

I’m not a big fan of pie but, I’m baking a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie.

One benefit of putting food up in the summer is that you have bottled sunshine and warmth in the winter: corn I cut off the cob, purple-hull peas (and bread-and-butter pickles) and green beans (for the green bean casserole). They’ll go with a turkey that was alive on Tuesday and delivered to me yesterday, mashed taters, sweet potatoes, giblet gravy and fresh cranberry relish.

My grazing platter has black olives, almond-stuffed green olives, gherkins, pepperoni slices, sliced pepper Jack cheese, celery sticks, carrot sticks, dill dip, chips and crackers. I also have a lovely brie.

I’ll be right over. Wine, beer or Basil Heyden’s?
