Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

Betty Crocker Halloween Cookbook - progress: 1 recipe
I decided to try a simple cookbook for my Pumpkin square. Simple, because I don't actually cook. I'm trying out a couple of pumpkin or jack-o-lantern related recipes from it. My first attempt was not so bad. This is the "Pizza Pot Pie" that is decorated with a jack o lantern face! Unsurprisingly, the cute little pot pie in the recipe book looks nothing like the horrifying little face on my pot pie.

My maniacally grinning pot pie:
I thought the little pie would be okay, sort of a pizza in a pot, or a sloppy joe with a crust instead of on a bun. In reality, it was pretty disgusting. The texture was off, and the bisquick "crust" was a bland mouthful of dry calories.
I do not recommend, unless you have kids with hot-pocket / frozen pizza roll tastes that will be charmed by food that grins at them.
