One of the things that I didn’t realize when I started blogging was that it would garner rewards that I couldn’t then even anticipate. Yesterday the following comment was left on something I posted long ago, a recipe for Pumpkin Chiffon Pie:
thank you so much for putting this online! My mother gave me a Better Homes cookbook for my highschool graduation in 1970, and many of my favorite pages are stained and worn. This pumpkin pie recipe has been my tradition for 37 years of marriage, and somehow the page for this must have fallen out of my poor worn cookbook this past year or so! I thought I had it memorized, but am so glad I thought to google it! Thank you again!! I forwarded it to both my daughters, and my son!
I’ve been told that recipe isn’t in the later editions of the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Each year at Thanksgiving time I get a rush of hits on that post and a number of comments very much like the one above. It’s gratifying.
Something to be thankful for. Thank you, Julie. And have a happy Thanksgiving!
Oooo. I try a different pumpkin pie recipe every year. Balance that with an apple or cherry pie following the same recipe passed down from my grandmother. I will definitely try this one. Has to be better than the one about 8 years that used goat cheese. (A really good single malt and cooking do not always mix well.)

I, too, am thankful to live in the company of a man who likes to cook.
Happy Thanksgiving!
