[Dailydrool] Sally's pumpkin pie and Morse's indelicacies

[Pamela McQuade via Dailydrool]

Sally:

The way to make pumpkin pie really good is to have enough spices in it: 
usually cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves give it a nice sweet but pungent 
flavor. Other than that, the filling is pretty much a pumpkin pudding, 
and isn't pudding typically British? And whipped cream (with a bit of 
brandy, if you like) is a great topping.



Another nice touch is to add some ground, toasted nuts to the crust, in 
place of a small amount of the flour.



If you want to try this dish again, let me know and I will send you a 
recipe or two.



Becky:

If water is not at hand and the poops are loose, you may want to try 
throwing some sand on them. My brilliant husband came up with this 
method when the hounds hit the sidewalk (usually a neighbor's) instead 
of the grass. It covers things over nicely. But maybe water will still 
be better if it's by a place where people are eating!
