Eating pie

Here is a delightful recipe for autumn that is both dairy & sugar free!

Tofu Pumpkin Pie

16-ounce package of silken tofu, drained

15-ounces unsweetened pumpkin puree

1 tsp liquid Stevia

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 9-inch pie shell

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Blend tofu and pumpkin in a food processor until combined and looking orange. Add sugar and vanilla and blend until well-combined. With a rubber spatula, scoop mixture out of food processor bowl and into a medium mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and stir by hand until they are well-integrated. Pour into 9-inch pie shell. Place pie shell on a baking tray, which goes into the oven.

Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees. Bake for about 45 minutes, until filling is nearly set.

Remove from oven and cool about 1 hour. Delicious!

By the way, I found this great sugar free pie crust recipe from cooks.com: http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1937,138163-227202,00.html

Pull A String, A Puppet Moves by Charles Bukowski

each man must realize
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand -
and any given cause,
no matter how unrelated:
the death of a boy in Hong Kong
or a blizzard in Omaha ...
can serve as your undoing.
all your chinaware crashing to the
kitchen floor, your girl will enter
and you'll be standing, drunk,
in the center of it and she'll ask:
my god, what's the matter?
and you'll answer: I don't know,
I don't know ...

Artist Trading Cards

More atc's to fill your heart's desire.

My sister originally introduced me to artist trading cards. We were collaborating at the time and making charms for necklaces featuring the same type of artwork, only smaller.

Artist trading cards or (ATC's) should be 2.5 X 3.5 inches (6cm X 9cm) in order to fit in the standard card collector pockets. So I thought I would share some of my latest with you.
