Yay, very belated Kiva birthday gifts for the nephews purchased.
Note to self: evaporated milk does not last forever. However, 5 oz of milk, years past the "best by" date, causes no problems in the pumpkin pie.
Decadent food of the day: potatoes au gratin per the Chez Panisse/Alice Waters Vegetables cookbook. I think the potatoes i used must not have had enough loose starch to thicken the cream-broth mixture, so the potatoes and onion just swim in the heavy cream. I'd fried sage in butter to add as seasoning but all is overwhelmed by CREAM. Oddly, though, our favorite butterball, Mr M, who will show up moments after one quietly opens of ice cream or cheese, turned up his nose at the sauce left in the bowl.
