Good Morning! I’m joining LeeAnna and friends at Not Afraid of Color for I LIKE Thursday!
I’m reading 
and will join my old book club next Monday! I’m not sure about this book. It is historical fiction, a genre I usually like. The author writes in meticulous detail. It paints a vivid picture, not always beautiful! I don’t consider myself to be a prude, but there is a lot of explicit detail! I am enjoying the story of this young woman who was one of few women who flew airplanes in the 30s and early 40s.
I had one premade pie shell the fridge. So Tuesday I made a pumpkin pie. I used the recipe on the pumpkin filling can, as I always do. My glass pie pan is only 9” and it is shallow. So I had more filling than would fit in the crust. I’ve just baked it like custard in the past. That’s good too. But I remember I had a 1/2 box of spice cake mix. I’ve been trying to make smaller dessert when I do bake. So I decided to add the cake mix to the pumpkin filling. How could it be bad?
Note to self: do that again! It’s good. Like spice cake, but pumpkiny! It filled a tart pan, one I sometimes use for quiche. We are enjoying it with Cool Whip!
Well, I wasn’t thrilled with the outcome of the Super Bowl, we were hoping the 49ers would win. At least it was a close game. Not a runaway!
We had a backyard visitor that we don’t see often. Not a good photo, I’m not a good photographer. He was moving quickly around this tree just outside my kitchen window. I had to look it up, I think I decided it’s a male downy woodpecker!
Lee Anna posed this question :
Who was your first crush? (Real or fictional?) how old were you, how did you feel, were you a romantic? You will a laugh or go “huh?” My first crush was George Peppard! He starred with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I was 15. Then he was in my home town filming How The West was Won, I got his autograph. Yes I was and still am a romantic!
