Next, Charmer showed us who’s boss in a photo inspired post, aptly named, Come Here.

Week 144 Recipe
The only thing I really like about Autumn is that cooking inside becomes a thing again. There really isn’t a lot I like better than the delightful aroma of savory food, slow cooking. Sometimes I need some inspiration to appreciate autumn in all its glory. This recipe is always a sure help (even though I’m not really a pumpkin spice girl).
Pumpkin Spice Custard
Ingredients
- 1 can 29 ounces pumpkin
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 can 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Gingersnap cookies crushed
- Whipped cream optional
Instructions
- Pour 1 in. water into a 6-qt. slow cooker. Layer two 24-in. pieces of foil; roll up lengthwise to make a 1-in.-thick roll. Shape into a ring; place in slow cooker to make a rack.
- Whisk together first 7 ingredients. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish; set aside. Fold an 18×12-in. piece of foil lengthwise into thirds, making a sling. Use the sling to lower the baking dish onto foil rack, not allowing sides to touch slow cooker. Cover slow cooker with a double layer of white paper towels; place lid securely over towels.
- Cook, covered, on low 6-7 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°. Remove baking dish from slow cooker using sling. Top servings with crushed gingersnap cookies and, if desired, whipped cream.
