Hey, that SCG can BAKE !!

Have to go with BF SCG... Love blueberry pie, warm, with vanilla ice cream MMMM-mmmm

I like pumpkin (and sweet potato) pie also, but they tend to give me acid...

Love the lattice SCG, much cooler than a full crust.
Pumpkin is one of my favs also. Took out a couple bags from the freezer this morning, fed them to the chickens Lol. They're a few yrs old from the yr we grew 63 pie pumpkins, trying to clean out old stuff. Didn't know I had a turkey in there, thinking of smoking it.
Checked to make sure I didn't have any of the chicken's I've butchered fall and spring, all gone except for a silkie rooster. Got him thawing, will be in slow cooker in the morning, then I'll add onions, mushrooms and wild rice. Never ate a silkie before, I'm sure it tastes like chicken, wonder if I'll get the kids to try it, it's super black...

ack don't think I could eat black meat and that's worse than the "blue" mashed potatoes I once made and threw out. I thought it would be colorful and fun - ugh no way.

I responded to SCG's "stick a fork in me, I'm done" with exactly what Fridayyet said, only 10 posts later.

DDiva, I'm with you on the Silkie meat and blue mashed potatoes.

But, I was thinking that they may be excellent paired with some gravy and biscuits and eaten in total darkness.
Ice cream for dessert, of course.

The lattice crust is a pain to do. I haven't gotten really good at it yet, it keeps cracking apart, but after it's baked you can hardly tell. I get better each time I do it but still haven't hit "pretty" yet.

The showgirl we ate tasted just like chickens do. We put him in a stew. The meat remained black (but that's the melanin pigment) and was tasty.

We grew a bunch of purple potatoes several yrs ago. They cooked up pasty gray but were the best creamiest taters I've ever had.
I gave probably 10lbs to my grandma thinking she never saw or heard of these new variety of awesome purple potatoes.
She said they used to grow them waay back in the 'olden days'...
