The tin is thinner than my old pie dish. Foil then baking paper?

Thank you for the suggestion.

Seeking advice from those who cook here..

I'm making a pecan pie. It's a great recipe that I last made around 15 years ago when I owned a pie dish.

I no longer own the pie dish. I own a quiche tin with a loose base (that I last used maybe 20 years ago). I should really cook more.

  1. Should I cook my pecan pie in the quiche tin? I'm thinking it'll turn out alright.
  2. Should I be able to remove pecan pie once cooled? This is my area of unknown.

I just want to avoid buying a replacement pie dish. I need to make 2 pecan pies (stupid promises were made).

Heater on. Long cardigan on. Cosy old man slippers on (with socks). Love Melbourne weather.

Now I'm ready to ice 4 batches of gingerbread and help my kid build a gingerbread house.

He does one song with his year group and a medley of song with his choir group.

They decided to cancel the event but record all the year groups doing their performances. It's something.

My son's school is hoping to have their outdoor Christmas Carols event this afternoon.

At this stage I'm thinking it's a 50/50 possibility.

My son is singing Feliz Navidad - one of my all time faves.

You know what? I don't drink anymore but I might grab a couple of coldies on the way home & see what happens. Might have to sample one to see if it's palatable.

I can't find the stupid Christmas Elf! For the last week or so my son has been making comments about how much he liked the mischief the Elf got up to.

So today I made an effort to locate it as I'm solo-parenting at the moment & need to be prepared for the 1st Dec. And I can't find it! I know it's here somewhere..

I've managed to score a new Elf (he'll be a relative of some sort) and if the old one shows up we'll tackle it then. New Elf is currently hidden in car.

6/10 Any knowledge I have is due yo my son and his shark fascination from the ages of 3 to 6.

Gotta laugh: about to leave to go camping near NSW/VIC border. If we can get through today without being washed away I'll be happy.

I made a snap decision to go see it today. My session starts at 12:30.

As a 49yo who has been comic book reader/collector since i was 16 I want fun, fan service & clear dialogue (I think my hearing is going).

Have fun tomorrow.

Added bonus: my 9yo son is eating it! He can be ultra cautious with anything new. So watching him scoff it down is pretty heartwarming.
