Galena Pumpkin Pie Filling

By Narayan • Late morning, Saturday, December 09, 2006 • No responses

This was sent in by an old friend of the family, Ann. I haven’t had the opportunity to make this recipe yet, but I vividly remember Ann’s food being the the kind of delicious, “sophisticated simple” which is almost impossible to get anywhere but in someone’s home.

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 C. pumpkin
  • 3 C. milk
  • 4 t. cinnamon
  • 1 t. ginger
  • 1 t. nutmeg
  • 2 t. salt
  • 1½ C. sugar
  1. Pour into standard crusts or make as custard
  2. Bake at 400° oven for 15 minutes, then lower to 375°
  3. It’s done when an inserted toothpick or knife comes out “clean”.

I’m told that babies love it!

Pancakes

By Poog • Evening, Sunday, February 12, 2006 • No responses

These are pancakes. Pancakes are pancakes.

  • 1 C all-purpose flour
  • 1 T sugar
  • 2 T baking powder
  • ¼ t salt
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 C milk
  • 2 T cooking oil
  1. In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another mixing bowl combine egg, milk, and cooking oil.
  3. Add liquid ingredients to flour mixture all at once and stir until just blended but still slightly lumpy.
  4. I’m assuming that you know what to do with pancake batter.

I like thinner, less fluffy pancakes, so I tend to add in a little more milk than this.

Butternut Squash Soup

By Poog • The wee hours, Tuesday, March 01, 2005 • 2 responses

Thick and savory, wonderful for chilly days. I can eat this soup for weeks. The quintessential squash soup. Serve with a side of crusty bread and a dollop of sour cream on top for extra tastiness.

World’s Best Waffles

By Poog • Just before midnight, Monday, February 28, 2005 • 1 response

These are really sort of the classic waffle (American, not Belgian). They’re light, fluffy, and crisp on the outside. The plain ones are good with anything, and the corn ones are amazing with maple syrup and butter. They’re only good hot, so invite a friend over for breakfast!
