For anyone who wants an easy copy-paste into their favourite recipe keeper:

Pumpkin Pudding Pie w/Orange Zest and Cardamom Whipped Cream

(makes ~3 pies)

Ingredients:

Pie:

2 ½ cups sugar

15oz can pumpkin puree

2 eggs

½ tsp baking soda

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp vanilla

pinch of salt

2½ cups milk

4 TBSP butter (melted)

1 orange

1 tsp powdered sugar

Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy cream

2 TBSP powdered sugar

1 tsp cardamom

pinch nutmeg

-----------

Instructions:

Pie:

Preheat the oven to 325°F

Prepare the pie crust (that's another recipe's job- either find a scratch recipe or buy a pre-made dough or graham cracker crust)

Blend 2½ cups sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl (if using a mixer, blend with a paddle attachment)

Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt; blend until well mixed

Add the milk and melted butter, whisk until well mixed (if using a mixer, blend with the whisk attachment)

Pour your batter into the crust, filling right up to the edge (the mix will be more liquid than solid, but it will rise/solidify in the oven)

Bake at 325°F for 55 minutes

Remove from the oven and let it cool

Top with sifted powdered sugar

Zest an orange over the top of the pie (microplane if possible but regular zester is fine; have found that the most aesthetically pleasing version is to peel the orange and then finely dice the peel but that's a hassle!)

Whipped cream:

Put your metal mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 15 minutes

Whisk powdered sugar, cardamom, and nutmeg together in bowl

Add heavy cream; whisk until stiff peaks start forming

Serve on a cooled pie :)

The little demons of grief came to live with me, in the space between the shadows and the floor.

I can't hear what they're telling me, even though I try.

At risk of sounding like a hater and an asshole this looks like AI and if its somehow not, the editor who reworked images and sharpened them up made it look like AI

Edit: yeah its AI

[theromanbarbarian]

This is the actual image (from a 6 year old reddit post so def not AI). Either someone asked AI to recreate it or AI, being the plagiarism machine it is, was asked for a pic of dogs finding humans in the snow and just ripped off the first image it could find. Another reminder that AI doesn't actually create anything. Also real cute dogs.

[badboneszone]

Actually a fantastic example for when you need to illustrate to someone that AI art is theft, blatantly, and not in some abstract way
