Desserts: Part 2

Butternut squash? In a PIE?!?

Yep.


I will post my recipes before long, because this is a
Really Yummy Pie.
But it was all made possible by the two squash squashers. For one of whom (as noted earlier), the job was a result of a misdemeanor.

Doesn't she look penitent?


Okay, not really. They're great kitchen helpers, who love to do (almost) anything. :)


This squash did cause a death, however.

In the midst of its 15 minute microwave time, an old friend breathed its last.

Dear old appliance,
We say good-bye
With many a tear,
And many a sigh.
"All for the sake
Of a Butternut Pie!"

A moment of silence please...















Wipe away your tears, however!
The pie turned out amazing!


And so ends the pie portion of our day. A good 5-hours work!

Behold:
berry, pumpkin, butternut, and apple pies!!


Just a couple little more things for our dessert table, and the day will be done!

:) If you MUST cover up a mistake...may as well make it cute, right?

Ah-ha! Absolutely.

'actually reminds me of a girl at my high-school who dropped her log cake while turning it out, iced it beautifully, and got a decent mark. The rest of us were not quite sure about the justice of this. :D
