Funny all this talk about Pumpkin pies. I decided to make one this year. Marie, I bought empty shells, frozen by Mrs. Smith. I don't bake much anymore and she bakes for me and the crust not bad. Will give it a try. I can't agree Sweet Potato and Pumpkin taste the same, mine don't. I used to make a good pie out of Cushaw Squash and that did taste like pumpkin.

Somebody on the list asked me to send them a CD of "Volare"..........email me with your address again LOL................computer problems again. ellen

Lee, I don't know where you get your pies, but I believe there is a difference in the taste. Pumpkin has a pumpkin type flavor with different spices than the sweet potato. Just my opinion. The produce man at a stand near here has a farm. He told me that the light colored pumpkins(more of a beige color) are the pie pumpkins. Down here he calls them creole pumpkins. Reminded me of a giant squash. Pat

Last year I tasted Sweet Potato pie for the first time - love it but bakeries don't sell it and I hate to bake pies anymore -would it be considered baking if I used those ready made pie shells ------ The place I had the pie was at a restaurant run my NJ State prisoners - the restaurant is called Mate's Inn and it is located in West Trenton on the grounds where the State Home For Girls used to be - that was a Girl's reformatory - the prisoners who work in the restaurant are very polite and one would not know they are incarcerated ---Marie G

Lee, Don't know the difference but I don't think they taste the same. I like sweet potato pie better. Had a girl worked for me and every Thanksgiving I got a sweet potato pie from her.

Jack, I found a couple of recipes for the dressing. Don't know if they are good as I haven't tried them. They are in the Favorite Italian Brand Name Recipe book. If you haven't found one, I will copy them for you. Pat

Marie, Yes, I hollered at a few of those horses myself. First time I went to Monmouth Track I sat down and circled all the horses I wanted to win in each race by how I liked their names. Won $130 on one race. Next time I went back I did the same and when my horse came in I went to the window for my $100 something and only got $2.50. When I asked the man at the window how come I learned about long shots. My first one must have been the longest shot in the world.

Here is another. Robin FALL WEATHER These lazy autumn days are like a melody Played by delicate fingers, As in a dream and softly. And like a chain of jewels rare Each perfect delight, richly fair. And yet again they're like an artist canvas Full of warm color in amethyst, red and gold. Into the hazy opalescent atmosphere. Crimson apples, purple grapes, golden pumpkins adorn The brimming roadside stands with cheer. Nature has endowed the earth with her supplies, And they are overflowing a joyous land. Orange bonfires leap against the twilight skies Bringing the pungent scent of burning leaves, And o'er the world the very soul of autumn Enfolds in misty beauty as it breathes.

Hi Everyone, Heading for the North Carolina Mountains for a couple of day's. I thought I would share this poem with everyone. Love, Robin OCTOBER's YIELD My house is now filled with October's yield >From the painted woodland, orchard, and field. There are crimson apples in a blue bowl And gay chrysanthemums to feed the soul. Strings of red peppers hang from the kitchen beams; Dahlias in a brass jug are golden dreams. A brown pottery churn holds marigolds And also maple leaves in reds and golds. There are chestnuts and potatoes to roast; Cellar shelves hold treasures of which they boast. I'm glad I stored within my house and heart October's yield before it has to depart. By: Earle J. Grant Ideals 1964

Our particular area of Colorado doesn't have that much history, either; the big trails went either to the south or the north, and the gold-mining camps were up in the mountains. But this past April we went down to Bent's Old Fort near La Junta, on the Arkansas River. This is a reconstruction of a trading post that was in place back in the 1830s and thereabouts. In those days our southern border with Mexico was the Arkansas, and it didn't take much imagination to stand on the roof of that place and think of a foreign country being right across that river. It wasn't until the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo in 1849 that we acquired the territory south of the Arkansas, and by then Bent's Fort had been burned down. They had a good staff at the reconstructed fort, all dressed in period costumes and talking as if it were the 1830s or early 1840s, but they didn't stick tight to the time roles. While we were there we took a hike along a trail system that incorporated one of the lesser-known old stage trails from the Wild West days. Thanks to the dry climate out here, the ruts are still as clear as they were a hundred years ago, and there's no vestige of civilization within sight unless you look at the descriptive signs that have been posted. You could stand in middle of the trail and look to the west and wonder whether there was any water up ahead or whether there were Comanches hiding behind the next hill. We've seen some other re-enactments at other places than there and at Plimoth Plantation. At the Fort at Number Four, along the Connecticut River on the New Hampshire side, back in October of 1991, we saw a celebration of King George II's birthday, complete with the firing of a cannon. Number Four is one of those out-of-the-way places that doesn't get much publicity; its heyday was during the French and Indian war, back in the 1750s and thereabouts. Then there was the re-enactment of the Continental Army encampment at Jockey Hollow, just outside Morristown, NJ, in 1976. That was really good; it even had the poorly-dressed militia being yammered out by an officer who swore that the troops were being paid well, even though Continental money wasn't worth the paper it was printed on at the time. And about fifteen years ago we got treated to a Civil War re-enactment at Fort Tejon, in the Tehachapi Mountains along the I-5 in California. That one had Abe Lincoln and Jeff Davis both at it. The most recent that I saw was at Colonial Michilimackinac in Michigan back in May. Since Michilimackinac was a British fort, all the participants were in British Army red coats. This one, like Number Four, goes back to the days of the French and Indian War. The Brits burned it during the Revolution to keep us from getting our hands on it.

Diesel, Never!!!!! You can't just give up chocolate. I love it but stay away from it as much as possible but every time I food shop at ShopRite I buy a snowball and keep it in the bread drawer until I can't stand it any longer. The anticipation is better than the actual event--like Christmas. I usually make it about 3 days and then it's down the hatch.
