Good 39º raining morning. Rained on and off all night again.
What we missed for 80+ days, we're making up for it now. Another 1/2" since
yesterday.
10-23 in radio code is "stand by".
Yesterday I wrote a blog, as usual, but didn't send emails out
stating so. I write one every day. It's always in the same place.
Nobody says anything (Well, Jeannie, Patty, Trish, and a couple others comment
to me, but I rarely, if ever, hear from anyone else! Even my family!!!! HINT
HINT) so I get in a 'mood' at times thinking "why do I bother sending emails?"
.... just me. Anyway, it's there along with today's.
Yeah yeah yeah.... pity party of one. Boo hoo.
After last night's debate.................
I made the double layer pumpkin cheesecake yesterday.
Different in the fact it is only 150 calories per slice. The crust is just
graham cracker crumbs sprinkled in the bottom of a pie dish. No butter. Then you
add the cheesecake layer and on top of that the pumpkin layer. I topped it with
whipping cream. It was DELIGHTFUL! Very light. Very good. I could have eaten the
whole thing! This is a great dessert after a heavy meal.
2 8oz pkgs of cream cheese, room temp
1/2 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 t. pumpkin spice (or dash ground nutmeg & 1/4 t.
cinnamon)
1/3 cup Honey Maid Graham Cracker Crumbs
cool whip or any whipped cream topping
Heat oven to 350º. Beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla.
Beat in eggs, 1 at a time just til blended. Remove 1 cup of batter and place in
medium bowl with pumpkin and spices. Mix well.
Spray 9" pie plate with cooking spray. Sprinkle bottom with
graham cracker crumbs.
Top with cream cheese mixture. Top with pumpkin batter. Bake
40 minutes (45-50 at higher altitudes). Cool. Refrigerate. Serve topped with
whipped cream. OMGOOD!!!!
Yesterday I purchased Orville Redenbacher's new popcorn bowl. UGH~!~~~
Awful. I am writing them a letter. The first batch burned. Never have I burned
popcorn! The plastic film you are supposed to just "peel off" doesn't work that
way. Then once you get the film open your fingers burn from the steam! The bowl
is stupid. The popcorn needed spraying with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter to
make it taste decent.
Here is a video on YouTube about it... most came to the same consensus as I
did.... don't buy it!!
