PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Recipes from Aunt Flora -- Annie's Pumpkin Pie Cake

There is no picture of this recipe included this week. Partly because I forgot to take one, but mostly because it was such a mess that it almost bears no relation to this slightly more organized one. I'll have to get feedback on what it tastes like when I drop it off to the guinea pigs.

Cousin Annie’s Pumpkin Pie Cake


Ingredients:
Box of Yellow Cake Mix
2 sticks of Margarine
3 Eggs
1 can Libby Pumpkin Pie Mix
1 can of Evaporated Milk
White Sugar
Cinnamon

Directions:

Open box of yellow cake mix, empty into 4 cup measuring container, stir to remove lumps. Reserve half of the mix.

Combine ½ cup margarine, 1 egg, and half of the cake mix.
Press in 9x13 cake pan. (Will be hard to spread)
Mix 1 can Libby Pumpkin Pie Mix, 2 eggs, and 2/3 cup evaporated milk.
Mix until smooth and pour over mix in pan.
Take remaining cake mix and add ¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ cup margarine (softened).
