Wolfenoot?

[altivo]

So I was urged to celebrate this made up holiday by posting pictures of the feast. Therefore I declare that tomorrow Gary and I will observe Wolfenoot with a roasted turkey and stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, gravy, and probably green bean casserole. I'm not sure what the dessert will be yet, but most likely pumpkin pie without crust but with whipped cream (as a whole pie was given us by our hostess yesterday.

The part of the observation that requires hiding small gifts for the wolf or dog lovers in the household we will skip, but I'm sure our dog, Laddie, will be getting more than enough treats.

The ponies will wear their festive blankets in honor of the occasion. The cats will, as cats usually do, ignore it all as something beneath their dignity.

Mandated pictures of the festival table will be forthcoming as demanded, including the crustless pie posing as the moon with a bite taken out of it. Stay tuned!

The crustless pumpkin pie is just the usual pumpkin filling baked in a lightly greased pie pan or plate. No pastry or crust. Take a can of prepared pumpkin pureé or pumpkin pie filling and follow the recipe on the can. It still has the usual eggs, milk, sugar and seasonings added.

Frankly, I prefer to use a pastry shell. The "gluten-free" thing is just a diet fad without much scientific support or even weight control sense. Or if "no carbs" is the excuse, I feel much the same. Carbohydrates and vegetable proteins have been part of our diet for millennia. A few people have special sensitivities, yes, but the vast majority of us do not.
