My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is this wonderful display of Pink Lady apples. These are my favorite variety of apples. I just had to take a picture when I saw this gorgeous display in the grocery store. Have you tried these? They are crispy, sweet and tart. Love 'em.

Today I thought I would share the recipe I use for Pumpkin Pie. I found this recipe in a magazine about twenty years ago, and I have been using it since. This pie is creamy, delicious and very easy.
One
9-inch unbaked pastry shell
One 16-ounce can pumpkin
One
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Two eggs
One
teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon each ground ginger, ground nutmeg and salt
Line pie plate with pastry. Mix all
other ingredients until smooth, and pour into pastry shell. Bake in oven preheated to 425 degrees for
fifteen minutes. Reduce oven temperature
to 350 degrees and bake 35 minutes. If
pie crust browns rapidly, cover edges with foil. Cool on wire rack. Slice and serve with whipped cream. Serves 8 to 10 people depending on size of
pie slices.
This was my weekend read. This book had been on my want to read list for some time, and I finally purchased it a few weeks ago. Then it took up residence next to my chair until I picked it up Friday night.
It took a while for this book to reel me in, but it did. It is definitely a book that I think leaves you with much to digest. And, I absolutely recommend this one.
I found myself in tears because of the event that led to so much pain for those involved. The manner in which life is defined could bring comfort to many.
The perspective of The Trinity was presented in an easy, feel good manner, and I suspect that it could help some to understand. And, I believe there are lessons to be learned that would benefit all.
The author makes a valiant attempt to offer some understanding of the age old question of why God allows bad things to happen.
Have you read this? Tell me what you think.
I've had a busy weekend. I have my cornbread and biscuits baked and ready for use in my stuffing. I've decided to have oyster stuffing this year. Yesterday I baked my pies - pumpkin and pecan, and I prepared my cranberry chutney. I purchased Christmas ornaments for our son and grandson. Saturday we put seasonal flowers on the graves of my husband's parents and my father. We usually do it the weekend after Thanksgiving, but next weekend we will be busy decorating.
Happy Pink Saturday!

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is a wonderful gift I received from my friend Nihal at CrossRoads. This is a traditional Turkish Hammam set. Nihal sent it wrapped in pretty paper and accompanied by a lovely card containing very kind words. The towel is so soft, and the soap smells heavenly. Hammam translates to spreader of warmth, and this set makes me feel luxurious and relaxed. I am feeling quite pampered. Thank you, Nihal.
