Pumpkin pie recipe

I have been making the following pumpkin pie recipe for a very long time -- since the mid-1980s or thereabouts.  It's not that fancy, but the extra molasses and cloves and such give it a taste that often gets positively commented on. Note: this recipe calls for you to use an…

Note: this recipe calls for you to use an actual pumpkin, not canned pie mix.  If you're looking for a recipe for your canned pie mix, look on the side of the can!

Hi friends, The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is almost here, and I’m so close to reaching the fundraising minimum. I need to raise $2,300 by October 2nd to be able to walk, and thanks to your generosity I’m already at $1,786.97. That means I’ve got just $513 left to raise…
Almost out of time! Please help!
Hi friends, The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is almost here, and I’m so close to reaching the fundraising minimum. I need to raise $2,300 by October 2nd to be able to walk, and thanks to your generosity I’m already at $1,786.97. That means I’ve got just $513 left to raise in the next few days. Every donation, no matter the size, gets me closer — and every dollar supports breast cancer research, community programs, and patients who need help now.

This fall I’ll be lacing up for my 25th Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk, taking place in San Diego, November 14–16, 2025. Over three days, I’ll cover 60 miles on foot alongside thousands of other participants, each step dedicated to raising funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. If you’ve never heard of the 3-Day: it isn’t just a symbolic stroll.

I think the most likely explanation is Shedeur Sanders is just an unlikable prick, which he has demonstrated time and time again when there is a microphone and camera in front of him. That interview he gave with ESPN after the Showcase day in Boulder was BRUTAL.

Who needs the Sanders’ millions of followers on social media posting that Shedeur should be starting the second the starting QB throws a pick? And if the starter is a white QB who needs the charge of racism if Shedeur is not starting? White coach? Same thing. Racism’s why he’s not playing Shedeur!

What’s to figure out? Teams don’t want the media circus and especially the SOCIAL MEDIA circus that Shedeur & Prime bring. You draft Shedeur you also draft Deion who will be criticizing the team for not starting Shedeur & blaming the coaches if he doesn’t play well when he does play. Who needs it?

I’m a 🦆 and Dillon Gabriel is uhhhh not good. Shedeur is objectively better. He’s also a colossal asshole that no one wants to be around. Got that “no one went to his birthday party” energy for real.

I grant you that this is not an issue that would confront most people, but I just wanted to say that it is difficult to find someone in downtown Burlington, Vermont who will deliver me a fried bologna sandwich.

So here's my plan. I take some of my hypothetical millions and open a store selling the kinds of things that difficult "I-want-to-talk-to-the-manager" types go for. Could be crafts, could be food, could be baked goods. However, I build the store with a certain extra feature: a…

Could be crafts, could be food, could be baked goods. However, I build the store with a certain extra feature: a room off to the side of the checkouts with a buzzer that can be activated by pressing a button at the customer service desk.
