Creepmas Day 8

Today, I am doing some Creepmas baking with the pumpkins I snagged post thanksgiving from my generous neighbors.  One of them was getting awfully manky in the garage and required immediate attention. 
eewww - pumpkingrot  and I'm not talking about our favorite blogger
I sliced off the nasty parts and cooked the remainder in the oven with a little water.  Then pureed the soft part, not the skin, in the vitamix. I found some yummy looking recipes online for pumpkin shortbread. I baked last night, without any high altitude adjustments, and am pleased with the results. Instead of eating the whole pan, I will share it with others at a holiday gathering on Thurs. Or so I say -Thurs is, after all, two days away. It has a shortbread crust, pumpkin filling and a crumb topping- very decadent!


I found the recipe online at allrecipes here.  It's a keeper.

Ooops - I forgot to check box number 8.  Damn - it is a little slip of paper that says "See his Lordship" .  He has gone fishing and I will have to wait for hours. :(  Maybe I should have some pumpkin shortbread to ease my disappointment.

    1. I have been so good today and have stayed out of the pan - not that I have not thought about those pumpkins square once every 10 seconds.

    1. Well *sigh* - I was hoping for something intimate, but instead got a gift card to my favorite little coffee shop which is great too!

  4. Me and the two offspring LOVE pumpkin pie. I've saved this recipe for those days when I don't feel like making pie dough. Which is most days. Thanks for sharing, lady M!

    1. I am a pie dough failure so please share any tips you have as usually I buy one of those awful pre-fab crusts.

  5. The cake looks absolutely scrumptious, and I'm sorry, but it's pretty hilarious and typical that your man got you a gift card :)

    1. I know - I drop a millions hints but romance ain't his thing.
