I made a pumpkin pie today, except it isn't really. I used this recipe because it is non-dairy. Except we don't have karo syrup. koyote suggested molasses in it's place, which I was dubious about because of the strong flavor, but he assured me it would be ok.

There were two screwups here - I apparently missed the part where he suggested cutting it with honey, and I expressed "molasses has a very strong flavor" as "molasses isn't very sweet", which really isn't the same thing.

So the pumpkin is totally overpowered, but it's very addictive, and I'm trying to resist going back for a third piece. However, everyone else has eschewed it in favor of the sweet potato pie (which I can't eat), so perhaps I am just a molasses fiend.

Leif spent the day alternately declaring that "I LOVE turkey!" and "I don't like turkey." At dinnertime, he was in an "I don't like turkey" phase.

Except this time he said, for no reason that I know of, "I don't like turkey, except I like Chinese turkey!"

We told him our turkey was a Chinese turkey, and he happily ate it.
