It's my favorite time of year again. That's right, it's Satsuma time! By far, my absolute favorite citrus for eating. Easy to peel, a little bit tart, a little bit sweet, and NO SEEDS. I ask you, what more could you want from a citrus fruit?

I also ask, why is it that every single pumpkin pie recipe I've ever made makes more filling than will fit in any pie crust? It's like that hot dog and bun thing, you just can't win. And the pre-baking the crust thing...it throws me for a loop every time. No matter what I do, the crust shrinks, which doesn't help with the whole filling thing. Due to a number of other complications I won't go into now, I've made the decision to bring a pumpkin cheesecake next year. I'm much better with cheesecake.

Hope everyone has a happy holiday.
