Whatever Possesses You....

So a couple of weeks ago we had this potluck at church. I think I may have told you this already, but if I did, I am sure you have been waiting with baited breath to hear the final out come.

Here is the made up dish..... add to 1lb of rigatoni (cooked of course) broiled tequila-lime marinated turkey breast (cut into bite size pieces) asparagus (make it fresh) baby portabella mushroom (sliced) onion garlic butter parmesean cheese. (saute' all the veggies together before adding) bake in oven if you "need" to and cover it while hot with mozarella if you really need to. i did have to bake it...but i extended it to 1 hour. that was WRONG and my rigatoni looked so screwed up and turned brown and i really needed to cover it with something.

so a buddy of mine at church politely asked me, 'what do you call your dish, geo?' i answered back, 'A mess!' he kind of chuckled. i know he ate it. i didn't eat it, i didn't have to.

then the following monday, another lady at church offered up all the left over pumpkins from our halloween night. i took 4...she needed to get rid of them...saying, i don't know what i'll do with them....she told me how her mom (who recently passed away) used to make pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin. so what do i do???? i promised her pie. geez luis....so i got them done tonight. the house smells good. i hope that is a good indication of the resulting pies. they are kind of funny looking, but from what i understand they are supposed to look different than pies made from canned pumpkin. and dont tell anyone but i used "stevia" the new sugar substitute. so i can eat it too, of course!

please pray that these pies pass the taste test. i have ruined more food in the last three months than i have in 30 years. and the cookies are yet to be made.
