Maple Pumpkin Custard
I like pumpkin pie; just don't like messing with crusts. Found this custard to be very easy, and it's really, really good.
You can certainly substitute the real thing for the sugar substitutes, but it's just as tasty as is.

RE: WWII in HD
Not to say anything bad about the sacrifices’ made in the war by the military personnel but WWII in HD and color, wasn’t it bad enough in REAL BLACK & WHITE? Why do I need to see such in HD?
Because this is WWII color footage that's never been seen. That's a good enough reason for me.
RE: Thank You, Veterans
WLToo and I -- Army officers
His brother -- US Merchant Marine
My brother -- US Army Reserve
His dad -- US Navy (WWII here and there)
My dad -- US Army (WWII Pacific)
Three of my eleven uncles -- US Army (WWII Pacific)
One of my eleven uncles -- US Navy (WWII Pacific and Korean War) and he's the reason why we have an RV, just trying to keep up with him and my aunt as they wander the continent
His paternal grandfather -- US Army Signal Corps (flying sergeant) (pre- and WWI)
My maternal grandfather -- US Cavalry (with Pershing against Villa, WWI)
Two of my great-grandfathers -- US Army, Confederate Army
Three of my great-greats -- US Army
and so on, back to the Continental Army, and at least one was colonial militia during the French & Indian War. That's as far as the family records confirm military service. But every generation has one or more who've served.
Not something we've ever stressed, just something that happens. My nephew is getting a basketball shoulder injury repaired, so he can join the Army. And so it continues.
RE: Choosing white wine to cook with
Don't waste time on sherry, an inexpensive white wine is just as cheap and imparts a better flavor. A good inexpensive white wine should be no more than $6 a bottle. Just select the cheapest white wine at that particular store -- look for sales. When you use the amount needed, just re-cork it and put it in the fridge, to be used in the next recipe. One bottle should last a good while that way.
If you do choose to go with sherry, it's usually in cooking wines, or specialty wines, depending on that store.
RE: You Know You Live in a Small Town When...
The UPS van delivers all packages to the grain elevator, 'cause that's the only real address. The residents all use P.O. boxes.
Yup, grew up near a town with a population of 150.
RE: rv not used for 4 years
Most definitely check out all the wiring. Unless it was hermetically sealed, critters have had four years to chew all the insulation off those wires = major fire hazard.
RE: Question for all the women in charge of RV decorating!
Wow. Some great looks there. We're coming up on time to replace the front carpet; laminate in the main living and driving areas sounds like a plan. I like the carpet in the bedroom, though, so it can stay.
Other than some stick-on hanger thingies, a cut off switch on the shower hose, and a magazine holder, we haven't done much on the inside. I did add a Harley-Davidson decal on the back outside, and the states traveled map, but otherwise, our mods have all been mechanical.
Now I do dislike that generic picture in the toilet; must find something I like better, like a photo of us and both Harleys, or the cat.
No frou-frou from this old Army gal; my favorite colors are blood red and chrome.
RE: Need cleaning tips for convection/mw oven
I did something dumb-I fulltime in a B+ so everything must do double duty. I keep bread in the mw/con oven. Bet you know where this is going...I thought I had removed all the bags of bread before using it, but I left one bag with one hotdog bun in it. In my defense, the oven is at knee level instead of eye level. Turned it on to preheat it and when that plastic started to burn,peeeeuuuw! It's stainless inside too, and I've tried vinegar, steam, Windex, not making a lot of progress. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!
Boil water with lemon juice for a few minutes. Wipe it down. Then leave an opened box of baking soda in there to absorb any remaining odor.
Don't forget to remove the box before you turn it on. :)
RE: Canadian flag in Florida?
Should someone question your flying both flags, simply refer them to an appropriate flag protocol web site, such as:Wikipedia general flag etiquette
or: Title 4, Chapter 1, United States Code which is easier to read than
Title 4, Chapter 1, from uscode.house.gov
Make them do their own homework, whilst you enjoy the knowledge that you're flying both yours and the US flag appropriately. Do NOT take down your national flag because some jerk can't be bothered to learn flag protocol and its inherent salutes to the host and native lands.
RE: Hot sauces, hot spices- what's your tolerance ?
I'm interested in very strong flavors. If something (say, Dave's Insanity Sauce) is nothing but caustic heat, I'll pass. Hot with flavor will always win out over just hot.
I've had vindaloo that was just nasty, and some that was hot but I just couldn't stop eating, it was so tasty. Grew up on Tex-Mex, so it's the family comfort food. Love Caribbean, Indian, Vietnamese, on and on. It's always about the flavor.
As for quenching the heat, bread, beer, milk, corn chips, rice pudding -- anything that will absorb the oils in your mouth that are causing the heat.
