Today I learned how to play rummy. Very slowly. But with all the enthusiasm in the world!

Also we ate a lot of sticky toffee pudding and the occasional piece of turkey. Between the eight of us plus toddler, we managed to take care of about two thirds of the turkey and at least half of everything else last night. We're all feeling a deep sense of accomplishment today. Or maybe it's fullness. Difficult to tell.

Oh, except for the pumpkin pie. None of us could bring ourselves to eat one more thing, though it made a nice snack this morning. Pumpkin pie and pad thai, breakfast of champions...

I didn't make the pie, but I begged for a recipe. Here it is:

Its surprisingly simple -- basically make a half-batch of apple pie filling (peeled/sliced apples, cinnamon, sugar, a little flour) and put it in the bottom of a pie shell. Then make a half-batch of pumpkin pie filling (bulk pumpkin in a can or fresh baked pie pumpkin, evap milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon/cloves/nutmeg/etc and pour that on top and bake as for a pumpkin pie. Or make a full batch of each and split to make 2 pies!
