Midnight Overindulgence

The Mother Thing* made a pumpkin chiffon pie for a special Christmas dessert, and I decided to "gild the lily" by adding a liberal dose of dairy-free whipped cream substitute as I ate a slice for a midnight snack. Because I feel like showing complete disregard for healthy caloric intake, I also washed it down with a glass of dairy-free egg nog alternative. Yay carbohydrates!

These are both quite good replacements for the standard dairy fare, which is a rare and wonderfully pleasant discovery when one suffers from food allergies. Of course, if you dislike (or are allergic to) almond and coconut, these aren't for you, but I think they're just fine.

I hope everyone had a suitably merry Christmas. Mine has been marred somewhat by a resurgence of back pain as a new cold front swept through and delivered more snow as depicted in my recent photo post. I will manage though. Work at the library resumes today, technically, because I am posting this well after midnight now. See y'all in the morning!


*The Mother Thing is a character from Robert A. Heinlein's novel, Have Space Suit—Will Travel, and has been a nickname for my mother for over 20 years now, so I have also applied it to her when she is mentioned here on Steemit. I think one of my parents owned a copy of this book since before they were married. At any rate it was suggested when I showed an interest in science fiction. It's still a great story for younger readers some 60 years after it was first published, and it has the Steemit Librarian's endorsement.
