World Record Pumpkin Pie

Well, the folks in New Bremen, Ohio, seem to know how to make things BIG! They hold the World Record for the Largest Pumpkin Pie. At 3,699 pounds and 20 feet in diameter, this is enough pie to have one VERY LARGE PARTY.

If you're thinking about making one, this is all you need:

1,212 pounds of canned pumpkin

2,796 eggs (233 dozen)

109 gallons of evaporated milk

525 pounds of sugar

7 pounds of salt

14.5 pounds of cinnamon

So, what do you do with a 3,699 pound pie???

Jan said...: well, you know what they say, the very best pumpkin pie you ever ate wasn't all that much different from the worst pumpkin pie you ever ate! But this is definitely far bigger than the biggest pumpkin pie I ever saw!; October 9, 2011 at 5:05 PM

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
