Feeling down and detached? Here’s a pumpkin pie!

Friday was no work for me again. Really, I was contemplating on cutting my head off so I could no longer feel the throbbing pain. I wanted to slam it against my pink matte walls until it splits open, turning my walls into splashes of slimy crimson. Ok, that was morbid… But it's either my head or my tummy which is constantly bothering me. It's like they have a sort of allegiance to make me suffer… and it's driving me insane now. Just go away!

Oh, yea and I wasn't able to see my cousin on her last day here cuz I was in such mood of locking myself in my room all day…

And so Saturday, I tried tiring myself with some old school workout and then rearranged my room in the afternoon. I kept tripping on those wires and I missed having just a lamp on before taking the final plunge into slumberland. Who would want to get up to turn the lights off when your feet are comfortably tucked warm under the pillow and sheets?

Sunday was free lunch! Too bad I ate just three pieces of lechon from Lolo's 85th birthday (again, because my tummy's revolting against me.) But the afternoon made up for it… I had been craving for pumpkin pie for years now and had constantly been in failure to find one.  Finally, yesterday was the long awaited day… Me and Christian made a refrigerated pumpkin pie from this really easy recipe I found in the net. It's not as good as the baked one but it'll do, for now…

    CRUST:

    1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs,   1/3 c. diet butter, melted

    FILLING:

      1 env. unflavored gelatin
      1 tsp. cinnamon
      1/2 tsp. ginger
      1/2 tsp. nutmeg
      1/4 tsp. salt
      2 eggs
      13 oz. evaporated skim milk
      16 oz. pumpkin
      8-12 packets Equal (we used regular sugar though)

    Prepare graham cracker crust and set aside. Mix gelatin, spices, and salt in saucepan. Beat eggs and milk together and pour into dry ingredients. Let stand 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved, about 10 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and Equal. Pour mixture into prepared graham crust. Chill until firm.

Despite of the success of homemade pumpkin pie, I'm still feeling like my feet are glued on hot asphalt with an annoying dog lingering around me, sniffing my legs while drooling. I want to kick the dog away and run as fast as I could to as far as I could to let air cool down my feet or if not, at least forget that they're getting burned. It's a never-ending struggle and it's getting frustrating…

Cheers to pumpkin pie though!
