How Squatters Make Pie

Our lovely friend who is renting us the house has been calling us squatters- for fun of course- mostly because we have limited stuff- basically what we had in the trailer.  We did visit the sea can and took out Leland's play station, Anna's two big bags of stuffies, the printer for the computer, some winter clothes and the toaster.   That's it! 
Thanksgiving weekend I am in charge of pumpkin pie for dinner with friends.  I have roasted the pumpkin, made the filling, made the pastry the oven is preheating and I go to roll out the crust.....no rolling pin.   Hmmmm- a stick?   Piece of fence post?   Piece of plumbing tubing?  A can....too short?  I know a bottle of booze!!!!  



Works like a damn I must say.   And no I didn't drink it all.
