Hi! The following is a very good basic pumpkin pie recipe. I usually double the recipe and bake two pies at a time to use up a whole can of pumpkin - and because one pie doesn't usually last very long! Serve with fresh whipped cream. Yum!
P.S. You can use any pure canned pumpkin - doesn't have to be E.D.Smith's.

Prep Time: 35 minutes, Cooking Time: 45 to 50 minutes, Yield: 1 pie
Ambrose, we both know that you were not "perfectly reasonable" in our last conversation. And that I'm going through a hell of a lot here with Mom's death, looking after Dad, and on and on. See the part in red?? That is what personal looks like. Stop doing that!
Sorry, Leigh, if I came off as abrasive. Your suggestion that I somehow enjoy Ambrose's threads was upsetting and I got a bit emotional there. No hard feelings?
"Although his choice to share his feelings, pose his questions, and vent about "lost love" through the creation of threads would not be my choice, I do not take issue with it simply because it goes with the territory when we choose a site like CS.....In other words, you run the risk of having your relationship publicized both when it begins and when/if it ends"
No, choosing to be on a dating site does not equal willing to be trashed in the forums.
"But again, I am not posting in judgement of either you or Ambrose."
Leigh, it is much easier to be zen if you don’t have an ex plastering the CS Forums with threads relating to your past relationship, believe me!
You’ve said yourself on the forums that you believe people should “zip it” when going in and coming out of relationships. I’m not surprised that you would make an exception in this situation, however. You are using Ambrose’s nickname for me so you are obviously in private contact with him. Should I assume you think his lack of discretion is okay because he is a friend?
Do I not have a right as another CS member to privacy? There is a multitude of other ways that Ambrose can seek “truth, answers and understanding” that don’t involve laying out our dead relationship for him and others to dissect.
I just received an email from my ex demanding an apology for my post on this thread. I don't believe I owe him one. In fact, I believe HE should apologize to me for starting this and other painful threads about our personal business.
I know how much he values your opinions as he keeps coming back for them again and again.
So here is my question - Does he deserve an apology for my post? Please weigh in here so we can put this to rest once and for all!
Thanks to everyone who has PM'd me about this thread. I appreciate your support at this difficult time.

Ambrose, why do you choose to air our dirty laundry on CS under the guise of self-help when you know this causes me pain? With each post, you expose our personal story for everyone’s entertainment.
As I grieve Mom’s death and settle her estate while caring for Dad, you continue to act in ways that cause me further pain. Your last words to me were, “Don’t call me until you are ready to commit.” Maybe one of your CS friends can tell me why I would want to commit to someone who treats me this way?
Or perhaps your friends will dismiss my post as the words of a scorned woman. I hope a few will understand that there are two sides to every story.
For obvious reasons, this will be my first and last post ...
Annie was really sick when I got her too. And she did not trust humans AT ALL. Her first instinct is almost always to run and hide from people, even over 8 years later. But she loves the humans that she knows well . . . and her adopted brother, Eliot - an orange tabby. Cats are great, aren't they?
I don't often post but your thread tugged at my kitty-loving heart.
You need a live animal trap. Bait it with a smelly soft cat food and check it every half hour. This trap is basically a long cage-like device that traps an animal by closing the cage door when it enters for the food. I would recommend a small trap if possible so you don't trap any of the adult cats in the area.
I got my second cat this way. One cold fall morning I found her yowling on my doorstep. Whenever I went to get her, she would run. I found that she was hiding under a neighbour's truck engine for warmth and I spent a good part of the morning trying to coax her out. Long story short - I got a live animal trap from a local university, baited it, and caught her in the first 1/2 hour! She was like a tiny Tazmanian devil when I first brought her in the house. She settled down very quickly and by the next morning . . . she was mine! Her name is Annie.
Your local SPCA might be able to assist you with finding a live trap. You can also purchase them at some hardware stores or an exterminator might have one.
