Light Pumpkin Pie … pie that thinks it’s a cheesecake
“Cut my pie into four pieces, I don’t think I could eat eight.” Yogi Berra Light Pumpkin Pie. It’s difficult to not think pumpkin and get deluged by orange thoughts once fall is in the air. Come autumn, and pumpkin pie spice is the on the top of my head. It breaks my heart to say goodbye to stone fruit when summer draws to a close, and somewhere in the hot summer months I always forget the charm of fall. These days there’s loads of pumpkin on the table. Oh the orange hues. persimmons, pumpkin {which is there pretty much all the year around here though}, and the little bitter…

DARING BAKERS MAKE FRENCH MACARONS…YES, TIME FOR FEET AGAIN!
“Continuous effort—not strength or intelligence—is the key to unlocking our potential.” Winston Churchill It’s the 27th again, time to post the Daring Bakers challenge, a wonderful & fun group brought together by Lisa of La Mia Cucina and Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice. This month we were led into a merry dance; the challenge was to find ‘FEET’. Hail the great French macaron/macaroon, an elegant French cookie that I find entirely temperamental and fiddly. One that has reduced me to tears in the past, brought me to my knees in the quest for ‘feet’…yet one that gave me untold joy when I finally found them. The 2009 October Daring…

Persimmon Flan – I’ve Got My Eye Set On You…BOO!
“Where there is no imagination there is no Horror.” Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr. I’ve got my eye set on you, also got my mind set on you, you Bootiful flan! When Renee @ Flamingo Musings asked last month if I celebrated Halloween, and if I’d like to join her and gang for the Great HallowTweet, a halloween Bloghop, I was quite unsure. Nothing like Halloween here, and actually we don’t get ‘scary stuff’ in stores that I could include in my posts. So I was compelled to say no, but the temptation drew me in. As days went by, ideas kept cropping up, with twitterverse on fire with hallow tweets…

“Bring forth the raisins and the nuts Tonight All-Hallows’ Specter struts Along the moonlit way.” John Kendrick Bangs This is just a quick post, more pictures, few words…& recipes to follow, or maybe a link if you want to fall-o! BOO…where did the months go? It’s almost the end of the year, & I’m racing against time. We don’t celebrate Halloween here in India, though I like the fun kids in the US have dressing up etc. Also love the way the houses & porches are done up. Halloween is special for us every year since my niece’s birthday falls just a day before, October 30th! This year she turns…

BOOSCOTTI….BISCOTTI FOR HALLOWEEN!
“Eat, drink and be scary” Author Unknown or Delicious every ‘witch’ way!! Biscotti is on my list of things to try often & it’s something I achieve regularly. The more variety, the merrier. Browsing TWD blogs last week landed me at Gretchen’s blog @ Canela & Camino, where she was playing host to the weeks’ Tuesdays With Dorie. I have now decided to blog hop & try recipes at my own pace rather than join up with more groups because it stresses me out. I find deadlines taking a bit of the fun away sometimes, in addition to the sugar overdose the family is getting. Also, sonny boy has got…
