New Things for Old Guy, #2

Maybe there has not been a New Thing for Old Guy #1, but that really doesn't matter. What does matter is that I have made a pumpkin pie. It is baking right this minute, but it looks and smells good. I got the recipe from my Mother-in-law. It is for easy pumpkin pie. I don't have to figure out how to make a pie crust, so that makes it easy.

I had a hard time finding all the ingredients. There has not been very much baking going on around here for awhile. I was not paying attention to where things were kept then, anyway. But Mom sent most of the ingredients along with the recipe. My pumpkin pie kit, so to speak. The vanilla was elusive, but was found Way in back of the cupboard. I put the ingredients in the mixing bowl in no apparent order. And the bowl got too full, mixing would have made a big mess in the kitchen. So everything got transferred to the next size larger bowl. I went over the list of ingredients a couple of times to make sure I left nothing out.

Trying to mix the batter led me to discover that one of the outlets in my kitchen does not have electricity to it. I will have to figure out what is the matter there, later. Mixing did happen however, and the pie made it to the oven without mishap.

Now it is baking. It then has to cool. After that we will try it out. The batter tasted delicious, so how could the pie not?

I hope we have some cool whip on hand. I should have checked.
