Still no city power, so I have exactly 6 minutes to blog something spectacular. So... um.. well... hmmm... nothing too spectacular taking place, unfortunately. I'm still getting a kick out of our "bleak and futile" existence here. Except, it doesn't really feel so bleak and futile. All my dear blog readers out there might be suffering because I don't seem to get a chance to do much blogging lately, but otherwise, it's not bad. The main reason why I want to get some cooking gas someday is because I want to make some pumpkin pie, pumpkin tarts or or even some pumpkin loaf. I've got a few pumpkins, and no way to make anything except stove-top pumpkin-y things. Soup, mashed pumpkin... any other grand ideas? I'm especially craving something creamy and sweet and delicious, like pumpkin pie, but I have no idea how to make anything like that using just a stove top (or a microwave). So... any ideas?
Anyway, food continues to take up much of my extra time. Which is fine with me. Cooking and thinking about how/what to cook is definitely a hobby I enjoy!
Today, a bit of time was taken up by trying to figure out how to get my phone to work. Seems this whole "new country" thing comes with a few hiccups. Today seems to be the "new country code" day for one of the main networks - the network that I've been using for the last 5 years. I'm rather attached to my little SIM card, but I think I will have to trade it in for a newer model this week if I want to keep making calls :(
Oh, stink. The guards were right on time with their generator shutting down, so it seems my 6 minutes are up...

My mom used to sometimes make pumpkin custard - it was like pumpkin pie filling with no crust.
Googling for {stovetop pumpkin custard}, I found a few recipes.
Here's one for pumpkin custard:

Here's one for stovetop pumpkin pie; it assumes you have access to a pre-baked pie crust, which I'm guessing is likely not the case, but it ought to be possible to make the filling and just not put it in a crust:

It looks like there are lots more microwave pumpkin custard recipes, too; I've just picked the first few I came across.
Mmmm... me thinks I shall try some pumpkin custard tomorrow for dessert! Thanks for the suggestions!
