So....basically pumpkin pie filling without the crust, but then with the cake mix and butter on the top? Makes me wish we had cake mix here.

Yep, or I suppose you could consider the cake mix as a reverse crust. You can make your own homemade cake mix, I looked up a recipe for it on Saturday because I didn't have cake mix, but it called for dried milk. I didn't have that either, so I just ran to the gas station and bought a cake mix.

I found this article that says there's no indication it's due to seismic activity: http://www.signalscv.com/section/36/article/145187/

I'm sure the ground is constantly moving around out here. I remember in high school we used to joke about a stretch of road on Portuguese Bend (on Palos Verdes Peninsula) because it was so hilly and winding that it would someday fall into the ocean. But it's still there!

Yep, that was always a running joke when I was a kid in No Cal...that the "Big one" was comin' soon and we'd slide off into the Pacific. :eek: ;)

I was thinking I might make a pumpkin pie for the day after Thanksgiving (since we're going out to a restaurant for Thanksgiving Day). Could never make a decent pie crust though, so I found some pre-made pie crusts in the supermarket's refrigerator section. They're from Pillsbury, and they're already made and rolled up in the box. So I think all you have to do is unroll the pie crust and dump it in a pie pan! :happy:

I already had a can of pumpkin in the cabinet. However, I did have to buy pumpkin pie spice, and a can of sweetened condensed milk.

Recipe says that you can put whipped cream on top of the pie when you serve it, so I bought a can of Reddi-whip. I wanted to try out the whipped cream, but I didn't have any pie at home, so I sprayed some on a Ritz cracker! Ha! It tasted yummy though! :hungry: Then I had a second cracker . . . and a third . . .. :D

I take blueberry preserves or cherry preserves, and put on a Ritz, top with cool whip non dairy...mini low calorie pie!

I took my DD to her first Uno's just last year. The newer ones are nicer, this one is a bit of a dive especially on the original level. The one in the suburbs is nicer but has that franchise feel to it. Due is nicer but very much the same. Riccardo's I had never heard of until about 4 months ago, go figure. Thanks for shipping him up to Illinois. Wonder if he would have ever developed his deep dish down in Austin.

My local Pub has a darn good deep dish, better than their thin. My favorite is Lou Malnati's but oucp h! it costs a pretty penny, it was my DS Birthday dinner though and I usually ship a few pies to my Sis in Ohio a few times a year.

Thin crust is hit or miss around here. Some are real good, others not so much. Many are franchised and not consistent from venue to venue.
My favorite is Barnaby's. It has been around since I was little and now I believe they are down to two. One on either side of my folks. Their crust is very thin and crispy. Thin crust here seems to mean not deep dish, nothing more. There is also White Cottage, a family place that also seems to get it right but incredibly expensive for the volume of food you get. Deep Dish, well with all the cheese and ingredients filled up in that pie you get some bang for your buck.

There's a local place here (3 locations) called Conan's Pizza that has really a good deep dish pizza. We used to go there quite a bit years ago, but, haven't been in quite some time. Need to go back soon. :hungry:

We were in WDW in the resort, my DH wanted to catch the game when he thought the resort cable went out, annoyed. I went to the lobby for some adult beverages when I learned at the bar/TV that their was a horrible earthquake In the San Fran area. Had he not wanted to watch the game we likely would have totally unaware of the quake up there. We always stuck to avoiding any media from outside the World, sports always wiggled its way in though.

I remember that quake.
DWifey and myself had just been in San Francisco 2 months previous.
My mothers cousin lives in the town of Watsonville on the coast that was pretty hard hit.
That was a nasty one.
