Dear Readers ~ I wrote this post in November 5 years ago. I am posting old content this week because I just moved from my home of almost 15 years to an apartment in Boston and I am paralyzed in a sea of boxes. I am a creature who needs the nest finished and organized before I can really settle, so I am sitting here trying to decide where to begin. Yes, paralyzed. We are hosting Thanksgiving in our new apartment ~ a decision I am seriously questioning WHAT WAS I THINKING… So, the thought of making a simple pumpkin pie with no other worries very much appealed to me this week!
