Gosh.Going to Mars seems easy than making pumpkin cheesecake.

 

[BeachMomma]

It's SO easy! Cooking the pumpkin down is the hardest part, but if ya do that once, you'll have enough pumpkin to make pies all year round! I grew up on homemade pumpkin; there's no way on earth I'd eat pumpkin out of a can. There are very few things I'm snobbish about, but that's at the top of the list!

True dat! Real pumpkin is the real deal, and makes a real difference.

PLUS, you get seeds. Toasted pumpkin seeds are fantastic.

Oh dear lord in heaven! LMFAO! I need a pumpkin bra. Wonder where I could get one?

The first person who says I'll need the huge pumpkins is gonna get a pumpkin up-side the head!

Oh yeah, I'm gonna roast a LOT of pumpkin seeds! We're cooking down one pumpkin for pies and carving at least 2 pumpkins - if not three. We'll be in pumpkin seed heaven!

My roommate shopped for pumpkins yesterday and turned our coffee table into a gorgeous autumn display. I asked Brad to post a pic for me, so maybe you'll get to see it in the next day or two!

 

[Lord Pmann]

I've never had it, but I am pretty sure Austalian Customs would not care about that at all. Is it sweet or savoury? I'd never had Key Lime Pie either, so I made one. Pmann told it was not authentic and all wrong.

Well, you didn't use Key Limes to make your key lime pie.

 

[Saucyminx]

We bought 5 pumpkins to carve yesterday too, plus a big bunch of gourds and some sunflowers. It must be fall decorating week!

Pumpkin Cheesecake


I call this a pumpkin cheesecake, but it isn't really. it's a no bake double layer pumpkin pie.

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 tbsp each milk and sugar

1 1/2 cups thawed cool whip

1 prepared graham cracker crumb crust (6oz)

1 cup cold milk

16 oz pumpkin

2 packages (4 serving size) jello vanilla flavor instant pudding and pie filling

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground cloves



Mix cream cheese, 1 tbsp milk, and sugar in large bowl with wire whisk until smooth. Gently stir in whipped topping. Spread on bottom of crust.

Pour 1 cup cold milk into large bowl. add pumpkin, pudding mixes and spices. Beat with wire whisk until well mixed. (mixture will be thick.) Spread over cream cheese layer.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until set. Garnish with additional whipped topping, if desired. Store leftover pie in refrigerator. Makes 8 servings

*helpful hint: soften cream cheese in microwave on high 15-20 seconds.

This is a no bake pumpkin pie, and it seems gross when you first make it. But give it the 4 hours in the fridge until it has time to set. It's REALLY good, I promise you! I make this and take it anytime I go to a pot luck this time of year. Everybody is always amazed at how good it is and how easy it is to make.

****************

It can be made with canned pumpkin, but I much prefer home-made pumpkin. I just scoop the junk out, peel it, and cook it in a tiny bit of water until it's mush. Keep scooping any strands out of the water. When it's nice and mushy, throw it in a food processor or mash it with a potato masher. I freeze it in one cup portions to use throughout the year. My pie pumpkins of choice are the heirloom pumpkins - the short, squat, tan pumpkins.

I was asked to inquire whether a traditional pie dish is used, or should a spring-form pan be used when creating this CheEsecAkey BeachLady PumpKin eXtravaGanza.

 

[BeachMomma]

Mrs Em can do either. I use a Pre-made graham cracker crust. A spring pan would be perfect tho.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Well I don't live in Key Limeville, do I?

Hehe. You probably just used watermelon huh? Same same.

 

[Emerson40]

Coincidence?

 

[NippleMuncher]

I was truly expecting a giant pumpkin nipple.

Better?

You boys and your filth. What do you think this is, a sex forum?

Oh sure, run around with your naked toes and blame it all on the boys!

 

[Saucyminx]

That poor baby. His father must be peter peter pumpkin eater.

What would be the practical usage for that nippley bra like thing? or maybe it's purely decorative.

God I need coffee.

It looks like a bad attempt at replicating that GOURDgeous real pumpkin bra that dude is wearing above.

He should have shelled out the extra couple of bucks, scooped some seeds, and have the real thing instead of some plastic, faux, doesn't-even-look-like-pumpkinny-boobies wannabe bra.


And what's with Christmas ginch?

After the gourd pun, I was tempted to have some Irish cream to go with my coffee.

Noooooo! Not Christmas yet! I have to make it through Oct and Nov yet. I'm thinking of just hiding under the bed until Jan 2014.

Hey BeachLady,

Just checking in to see how things are going with quitting smoking.

Success?

You don't need to wait until I crack wise to spike your coffee.

Have a big bottle of Baileys on hand and play along with the Lit Drinking Game.

It's just better that way. Playing the Lit Drinking Game would be like playing the Smurf Drinking Game and I sacrificed more than enough brain cells to that during my college years.

And what can I say? I enjoy your wise cracks. . .they are punny. Or is that considered word play?

Yep time for another shot 'o baileys. (Actually a first shot of baileys--I had to be good since I was working.)

 

[BeachMomma]

I fell off the wagon. Again.

I've heard of smokin' hot pussy but.... That just defies description.

Share the Bailey's Minxie! On second thought, I think this calls for the strong stuff. Skip the baileys and even the voddie. I need jack Daniels. For therapeutic purposes only of course.

 

[BeachMomma]

Roasted pumpkin seeds! *eyes rolled back in ecstasy*

I would gladly share my Bailey's. I'm out of Jack Daniels--but that is easily remedied. George Thorogood's One Whiskey, One Scotch, One Beer came on the radio and I thought, hmmm, yep sounds about right.

 

[BeachMomma]

Love that song! I'll take the bourbon and the scotch, but y'all can have the beer. Blech!

 

[Emerson40]

Thorogood's version is a fine version - better than the Amos and his Chickenshackers version. He plays the shit out of it live. But nothing is as fine as the treatment John Lee Hooker gives it. Old school, blues boogie shuffling at it's finest - the man was bad-ass.

His studio album versions are sweet, but find a live recording where he takes you on a longer ride, riffing with the band and bringing you into the song with his narrative.

I listened to this song the other day (while sippin' a scotch), off the live album Live at the Café Au Go-Go. He's backed by Muddy Waters' band. A few minutes into this album you can almost feel the worn barstool under your ass, see the hazy cloud of cigarette smoke gathering below the low ceiling and dim lighting, and smell the stale beer, smoke, and hard liquor - lingering perfume of a long forgotten blues bar.

 

[BeachMomma]

Well, kids, we've come full circle. Here we go again. I'm going back to the cath lab. This time they'll induce the arrhythmia I've been having, determine where the extra beats are originating, and then burn those spots. I hope to god this works!

Before you ask, I don't know yet when it'll be scheduled. I'll let y'all know.
