Saved by a Pumpkin Pie

Yesterday a friend and I spent the day at the Cable (town) Fall Fest.  We talked with people we knew, shopped, and had lunch at the Ojibwe food booth - chicken and wild rice (harvested locally) soup and fry bread.  On the way to the car I bought a pumpkin pie from ladies at a local church.  Little did I know how important that purchase was.  When I got home, the electricity was out - not weather related.  (I heard later that a large generator at our electric company went out.)  Here it is an hour before dinner.  There is nothing to eat except peanut butter sandwiches....didn't take long for me to connect the dots.  Also, to save the melting ice cream, we had it a la mode.  We spent the evening with friends with a huge generator and came home to lights on.

NOTE TO CASE IF HE READS THIS:  WE HAVE A GENERATOR.  IT IS TIME TO SET IT UP.  WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE FRESH PUMPKIN PIE AVAILABLE.
