There's a go-to vegan pumpkin pie recipe I make every year and it is PERFECT. Just the right amount of sweet, custardy, and with a flaky crust 🤤
On another note, I've acquired a recent love of Boston cream donuts and I'm pretty sure I'll ascend when I finally have a slice of Boston cream pie.

We need some sweetness, so please regale me with a description of the best pie you've ever had 🥺
Here's a picture of a lemon pie I once made with salted meringue. It was not the best pie I ever had but it was delicious

I responsibly binged (i.e., watched only a few episodes of each night, in the company of at least one other person instead of alone in my room) both Andor and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in the past few weeks.
I can't explain, but I'm very full. And I haven't even finished Andor yet!

In any case, rural Iowa is gorgeous and don't let anyone tell you different.
