From the Way Back Days. This cookbook was a Wedding Gift in 1968. Still the one we like the best. I only add cinnamon and none of the others (ginger, cloves and nutmeg). I have them in the spice drawer these days but back in those early years- I only had cinnamon. And it's what we like. Last year I made a pumpkin pie three times between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It's still murky here in Maine. Dismal. House lights on. Doesn't help. Furnace running.
The Pie is in the oven. (the pie is out of the oven and looks glorious) And when it comes out- the Sweet Potatoes go in (they are in). Followed by the Green Bean Casserole. And on the stove- steamed Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Stove Top is the dressing of choice around here and packaged gravy. Made with cream. Why?
Well, my husband loves Thanksgiving Dinner. So we used to have it frequently between Halloween and Christmas. Maybe even once a week. So...if one is making that meal every week with just a deli turkey breast- it gets streamlined. It gets simplified to it's most basic easy to make levels. And as the children used to say- as long as there is gravy- it's all good. And I keep adding more vegetable dishes. Less turkey. Radical.
But always pie. Always pie. And this year, we have apple and pumpkin.
Anyone know what Adobe Flashdrive is? My computer is warning me about it but husband has no idea what it is (anymore) and I don't know if I even need it. And it seems they want a payment. There are so many scams out there these days. I just do simple things. Email. Blog. Sometimes Pages to make class notes to copy and hand out. That's about it. I do down load pictures from phone but once used I delete. I have no picture files. I have no files at all. Even Turbo Tax gets installed, worked on, printed and deleted. No taxes saved.
Let me know what it is. If anyone knows. Then I can safely hit the "delete" button they are offering me.
Happy Thanksgiving. And I give thanks everyday for the Readers of this Blog.

You don't need it. It is an obsolete web plugin that is being phased out.
Exactly - delete it - and enjoy Thanksgiving. Big hug.
Hey thank you both for that. This is why we have friends.........
love your annotated and be-spattered recipes ... my cookbooks fall open to those most-used pages
I thought the picture was my cookbook at first. Also our favorite p.p. recipe. I use half heavy cream half whole milk instead of the canned milk. I do use all the spices and add nutmeg. I’m sure it’s delicious in any variation. Have had the cookbook since the seventies. Very well used!
