Excellent Post. I especially like the last piece of advice.
THANK YOU!

I believe the filling is cooked for at least 10 minutes. I think you might go a little longer if concerned.

When other say "I hate pumpkin pie" they have not had this. They are going back to a memory bank of dense, flavorless filling...This is like manna from the pumpkin gods.

Great post. Love the pictures, lovely economical use of images and ideas. You get the point across. I want to live here and have her as my friend.

I am going right into my kitchen and baking an Ollie's Chocolate Cake. (with Coffee), icing it, pouring myself a big glass of milk, putting a candle on it, blowing it out and celebrate the fact that I am alive. A lovely post. Baking is nourishment in the most basic form. When stressed I cook; when threatened to the core....I bake. Great post.

E thank you notes are over-rated and under thought. THOUGHTFULLNESS is a lost art in our society. Thanks for keeping it alive. I will make of point of doing it in the future. Is there a physical address I can use to send the kitchn and you a thank you note for this lovely post?
You must have been raised right!!!

my sort of place. Good call

Far better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. I like the idea of looking for new ingredients and will try this. I don't live in a big city, but when I shop and ask for something at a produce or greengrocer they get engaged in the process. And good cooking is all about paying attention--making and eating. I will try the ramps and thank you for steering me to new ingredients that might add something to my life. Good job.

What am I doing the rest of my life that is so important that I don't do this?

I like a small or large kitchen....Its the middle size ones that kill you, and are inefficient.

GREAT pictures. Lovely post.

Give me a kitchen with history, smells, stains....so tired of the high end shelter mags kitchens. This is perfect....where I want to sit down IN the kitchen as a meal is being prepared. Great post.
