I just made a pumpkin pie from a little store bought sugar pie pumpkin. My version features dates for sweetener. No milk. Two eggs. I slurped in a spoon of molasses this time. Of course spices. I also went wild and put some chopped walnuts on top. Its also the eve of the American presidential election. I saw two posts on Facebook today: one talked about garbage. That wasn't very friendly. Then I ran into a post from the Unitarian religious folks. Friendly so I kept reading. The Unitarians advocated that people go outside and touch the Earth. They advocated love and checking on your neighbors to see how they were doing. I found it hair raising that the Unitarians urged folks to basically act like a blizzard or war was on but I understand. Anyway, I kept their message cause it spoke to me.

I hope you remembered the pie spice!. I would like to taste your pie. I am gonna make that impossible pumpkin pie that Vickie talked about..as a matter of fact, I have an event to go to Saturday..perhaps that will be my contribution. I was thinking of the highly interesting popcorn salad..but the pie might be a good idea..because I wouldn't have to eat it all myself.

@snowy22315 Yes to cloves, cinnamon and ginger. How will you transport your pie? It sounds like pudding.

@sallypup I will probably just cover it with foil. I think I changed my mind though. I bought some kind filled cookie mix last weekend. I don't need those hanging around More dangerous than a pie with not too much sugar in it

That definitely sounds very different than any pumpkin pie I have ever made.

@shaggin I've made an addictive chocolate pudding that uses dates.

@shaggin Dates really do well at subbing for refined sugar.

Sometimes it does seem like there is a war on in America. I hope things become more civilised soon.

@JudyEv There is war going on in America. Its no longer a given that folks will be civil to each other.

@kaylachan I did. I ate it while reading a loving post about the election and thoughts from the Unitarians.

It is really my ignorance in terms of does a pumpkin pie taste. I have not tasted it yet. I hope I could make one.

I missed the taste of pumpkin spice. It is not common here.

Mutual respect is very necessary in political situations, especially in selecting leaders. Don't let those of us at the bottom make a fuss about ourselves because of the officials' choices
