Well, I tend to be forgetful at times. Last week, I got up early to put the stuff for curry chicken in the crock pot. It was all going great until I realized I forgot the curry. Curry Chicken is not the same without the curry!Anyway, tonight I started to make a pumpkin pie. Everything was going well. The crust came out pretty decently and the pumpkin pureed well. Then I starte combining the rest of the ingredients. I forgot that my recipe for the pie was on the bottom of the pie pan. That was oops number one! I decided to wing it from there. I went to grab the brown sugar, and my goodness, I don't have any - AHHHH! It's the evening before Thanksgiving. There is not an open store around here and the munchkin is in bed!!!! So, I improvised. I added in a bit of dark syrup and some honey. I think I overdid it on the spices. I tasted the mix, but it tasted wrong. So, I added in a box of vanilla instant pudding mix. The filling tasted a bit better, but I'm not sure if it'll fly in the pie!
I guess I'll see how it tastes tomorrow!!
