Cowboy Pie
Snow stayed most of the day. Had lots to get done...must be in Santa Fe at 9:30 am. Ungodly early hour! Well, it's an hour drive and when we wake up here it's 14 degrees, so there you go.
Cowboy Pie for Amos. I told I'd make him an apple pie, and I did but I suddenly got tired of
The same old, same old. So I added raisins, walnuts, brown sugar mostly, rather than white, a secret ingredient and nutmeg, no cinammon. Then for the top crust I used my Cowboy Cookie cutters and made the crust in shapes of steer heads with horns, cowboy boots, and Saguaro cactus! Too late I learned about the cheese crust—because cheese is essential for apple pie! So for Thanksgiving when the guests arrive we’ll have Cowboy Pie with Cheese Crust. Yum.
I made a big pot of pumpkin soup last night—not just all sweet. Carrots, Onions, mucho garlic. Now that is one tasty soup. Tonight I am making maple sausage to go with. Stirred up a little tomato/pepper/sour cream thing to dab in the center—perfect complement of textures/tast/temperatures, plus we sprinkled a few sunflower seeds and kidney beans on top. I tell you, I love this time of year!
This evening I found one kitty curled up in the sock shelf of my armoire, the other one a couple shelves down with the sweaters. Wiz still cannot stand being in, Missy knows the weather. I can’t get her to come to the door to go out!
Gas guy stopped by briefly after just about getting us out of bed and rushing down to the house to dig our trench. Yes, we dug it ourselves, because, ha, ha, their trench tractor is broken. And then? No show. No call. Sigh. He didn’t even leave the darnn tank he brought. I’m giving them one phone call to explain then I’m calling a rival company. It’s been like 6 weeks and we’re barely further than when started. Ok, we are further because WE dug a ditch. Period. That’s ALL the progress. Sheesh.
Still did not get to my fish! There are just not enough hours in one day!
