Two are better than one

It's Moving Day.  (I probably should get off of the computer and do some more packing). Most of our stuff is in storage, so the packing has been fairly minimal. After my recent clowning around in the kitchen, I figured that yesterday I should spend some time packing and cleaning. But, after thinking about it, I decided I would rather make  pumpkin bars.

I had been wanting to make pumpkin bars after finding my long-lost recipe while packing up some cookbooks and recipes, and I decided that I should make some for the movers. Nothing fancy- just quick and easy pumpkin bars. (I can't find the camera, so the pics and recipe will have to come later). A beautiful, sunny, Fall day was forecast for Moving Day, and  pumpkin bars would go perfectly with a Fall move! So I whipped up the pumpkin bars, sampled one (ok, two small ones), and then my husband got home. He told me that he had forgotten to mention that his mother was making pies for Moving Day. He couldn't remember when she told him, why he hadn't told me, or how many pies she was bringing . At first, I was irritated that I didn't know this sooner, since I had I spent time baking when I should have been packing. But I really did enjoy  that last hurrah in my tiny kitchen. And pumpkin bars are all spicy-smelling and made the house smell so good. And really, when you think about it, there's never really a problem with having two desserts.
