oh my gosh Henrietta!
that sounds like the black bottom pie my mom made when we were kids, except it had bourbon,not vodka in it. It was always my birthday cake choice.....
I might try that recipe. Who would have thought?
And the funny thing was everyone loved the pecan pie - I didn't mention my trauma with it. sheesh.

its snowing to beat the band - new snow is already knee high and it is supposed to keep coming all day, prediciting about a total of 14-18 new inches.
gorgeous outside with the snow, and the wind is whipping around like a whirling dervish - gonna see some big drifts. can't see my footsteps out to the coop from just a couple of hours ago.
Had a big holiday part planned tomight with about 30 people, but I cancelled it because my back roads can be pretty treacherous and they are not well traveled. and windchills tonight drop to 30-40 below.
that means.....lots of party food! some of it I won't cook, I can take desserts to neighbors tomorrow, but still!
lucky for me, my new sweetheart is coming over in a few hours and will be snowed in with me. Let's see, fire going, homemade eggnog laced with a little brandy,....candles....snowfall.....nice music....what could be better?
I'm just finishing up laundry, my house is in pretty good shape, I have the whole weekend to relax, shovel, warm up, wow! I am sooooo blessed.
Stay warm everyone!

Gina, never seen snow? Hey girl,come on out anytime!
I would take a pic, but I've given my camera to my daugher who has an etsy shop - hers broke.
I remembered to grease up the chickens combs before the temps dropped, it was about 15 degrees in the coop this am. I added a second heat lamp as tonight it is supposed to be 15 below zero.
now, if OFG would just send me a pie.

ha lala that's funny. Yes I have seen snow. I even lived in a snowy area for a while. I just think I would love to see the view out your window. A field of snow with some winter barren trees mixed in. Sounds kinda tranquil.
