sorry

But you've missed some domestic activity in the past couple of days. After realizing we had forgotten to add sugar to our first pumpkin pie (shut up), we felt like domestic fuck-ups. However, on Friday I re-made the pumpkin pie using a recipe that uses regular milk instead of condensed because we are too lazy to go to Kroger every day. This one turned out rather deliciously. I used brown sugar, so it has a weird color not unlike poopy raisin meal in a crust:



The recipe came from our Pumpkin Masters "classic" pumpkin carving kit:
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 T pumpkin pie spice (or ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, & cloves)

I used a refrigerated, ready-made pie crust from Aldi. Put it in a 9-inch pie pan, trim & flute the edges. Mix all the pumpkin & spices & such together, pour it into the crust, and bake at 375 for 50 mins. I would recommend putting foil around the edges about halfway through so as not to let the crust brown too much...we didn't have any and cut it pretty close on the almost-burnt crust.

Afterward, we drank a lot of booze with Katryn and then proceeded to each eat 4 pieces of pizza. And then drink more. Until 5 AM.

Last night Jenna made soup, but didn't eat any of it.



It's butternut squash soup. A good idea in theory, but it's chunky because we don't have a blender. Donations are welcome.



This morning, she made a pepperoni roll to take to some party she's going to tonight. Fancy-schmancy, yes?

Today I have been applying to jobs all day. I have my daily probably-not-leaving-the-house uniform on, which means leggings and an aa deep v. I also have my job application supplies at hand.



Coffee, water (in a stemless wine glass because we are alcoholics and only have wine glasses), and my phone. And a pencil. And my little skulls notebook because it's so pretty and I use it to keep track of all of my fruitless job searching because it's very important for one to be reminded daily of one's apparent professional shortcomings and inability to get hired anywhere doing anything.

HOWEVER I AM NOT BITTER. I'm learning to sew in the meantime and hopefully starting my literacy volunteering next weekend!
