My pecan pie experiment was a flop--but how else to learn? I don't think the agar was the issue, but that I cooked it with the pumkin pie at a length and temperature that was too long and too hot for the sugar. What I ended up with was solid pecan hard candy!
We put it in plastic bags, smashed it with the cast iron skillet, and ate the crumbles with a spoon. Unfortunately the hardness/stickiness broke off some enamal on one of my crowns (it was already partly chipped)! Too funny since I kept telling everyone else not to break their teeth on it!
Lovely dinner. My daughter brought the baked pear salad out of Vegetarian Times. Wow! What a lovely surprise. Her cooking skills have blosoomed, along with her maturity. She was all about helping me in the kitchen. Her sig other made a lovely tender bread for the meal, and my son the extrodinary mashed potatoes.
I am blessed to have such a lovely, loving family. I am thankful that all my needs are met by the one true Source.

I made my first ever vegan pumpkin pie this year and although my dh and I LOVED it no one else touched it. My Thanksgiving feast was a bit compimised this year and I found myself frustrated and angry. Thank you, thank you and a million times thank you for your post. The blessings that surround me are far greater and more powerful than any minor setbacks that arise in the goings on of daily life. I did not realize I needed constant reminders of this, but as it turns out, I do! Blessings to you and yours.
