It's Friday the Thirteenth and it's still raining here, not that it's a bad thing. So far nothing too unlucky has happened but the day's not over yet.
Since outdoor activities are out of the question, His Madness has enlisted the help of The Crew to make a pie. It's going to be a squash pie because that's what we have on hand. Splitting it in two is always the dicey part and it brings up the question, how many ways are there to cut a squash in half? Let's call this one the slasher technique.

Kibitz added the final touches because everyone needed to participate.
Wait, are those pumpkins?
Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!
