Friends and Foreign Films

Yesterday, my friend Nicole had a little gathering at her house. She is such a great entertainer! She served us wine and cheese and these amazing mixed nuts she prepared with a variety of spices. So delicious!! Thanks again, Nicole!!! You truly are a great friend. <3

Everyone brought something to eat for the evening and I decided to go with dessert, naturally. I remember Nicole mentioning she loves pumpkin pie, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make it for her! I went with the "OG" recipe: Libby's® Famous Pumpkin Pie. OG stands for original gangster for those of you who don't know street lingo yo! (LOL). The girls who had a slice said they liked it, so I was happy :)

We watched two great movies. "The Secret in Their Eyes" and "dot the i." I honestly preferred the second one and would recommend you all see it!!

• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

3. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)
