So yeah, the hurricane came. We are safe, but have no power… Which was basically what we all knew would happen. Living like a pioneer or an Amish person doesn’t jive with my inner 21 Century self, I have discovered. And my kid asked me, as we sat in the dark at 7:30 pm last night, if this is what is was like in the 1980’s. So, maybe I should get out a few history books while we have no tv or internet to keep us occupied… Luckily, though, I made this Pumpkin Shortbread last week. And it totally seems pioneer-y, doesn’t it? Maybe Pioneer-y circa 1982. It comes together quickly…just whisk the dry ingredients together. You could also sift them, but I am incredibly lazy and the whisk was closer. Then mix some pumpkin, butter and powdered sugar together. It will look a little like this… Spread it in a greased tart pan…I used my off-set spatula to help me smooth it nicely. And just bake it up, for about an hour or so… And I highly suggest you pour glaze all over the top. You really should. Let the glaze drip over the edges and set up… And slice it into wedges. Now please, keep your fingers crossed that my pioneer-living days are numbered!!
