This morning I looked for the latest recipe thread but don't seem to have traced it and am not finding it in the last 365 days. I did find the stew thread, and remarked about today's soup, but will share this here:

I made an experimental bowl of pumpkin pie filling but baked it in a casserole, no crust. I started with the recipe that uses three eggs (good for protein) and next time I make it I'll use two. I cut the sugar down to 1/4 cup (from 3/4) and used stevia for the rest. Next time I'll try all stevia, and simply add more pumpkin to make up the volume that the sugar would have taken (usually you can use applesauce but other suggestions were pumpkin, so might as well!) It has an aftertaste if you eat it warm, but when chilled it tastes like normal pumpkin pie filling.

The next bout of rain is delayed (was supposed to be today) so I'll put up some of the holiday lights that I got out of the office closet yesterday. And that will give me a slot of open space in the closet to use for rearranging and dusting everything else in there.

Tire rotation appointment late this afternoon, not so urgent as putting snow tires on for Charmion and Dorothy (Keb, do you use snow tires?) but it means they'll check them for condition (nothing like having a nail in the tire that results in a slow leak - since the roof was put on I'll have to be careful about nails) and properly inflated.
