My favorite easy peasy Thanksgiving dessert:

Gooey Pumpkin Cake

Gooey Pumpkin Cake
No time for homemade pumpkin pie? This recipe is a super quick alternative. You basically dump everything into a cake pan and bake! The result is a gooey, pumpkin pie bottom layer with a rich, buttery topping. Not very cake like, but it sure is good.

Ingredients


1 can pumpkin puree (15 oz.)
1 can evaporate milk (12 oz.)
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 package yellow cake mix (18.25 oz)

Once blended, pour the batter into a greased 9-inch x 13-inch cake pan.

I make something like that called pumpkin crisp. In my family we do not do pumpkin pie. Your recipe sounds delicious.

New knitting techniques take patience as the hands and brain work together. Speed will come as you become more familiar.

I love pumpkin pie, but your cake is tempting me.

No snow here, but we got enough rain to float an ark!

I've not driven in rain that hard in YEARS!

Mmmm....that pumpkin thing looks delish. I was just looking for an alternative to the pie because The Mister isn't a fan.
Btw: I used the sports setting on my camera to get the pup pix.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
