Will Dan Reeder's dragon-making techniques work for my veggie-stealing goblins?
I've been thinking about this thieving goblin family for years, but every time I think about making them, the number of goblins gets bigger. That might be one reason why I keep putting this project off. The other reason is simply because I hadn't thought of a good way to make them - and I still need some suggestions from you before I get started. I'm hoping that it will be possible to make two-legged goblins with his wood glue mache, but if you have some ideas about making them stand up - and an easy way for old hands to tear up the sheets, please let me know.

Crustless Pumpkin Pie recipe: littlesunnykitchen.com/crustless-pumpkin-pie
(I used brown sugar instead of white sugar, cream instead of the evaporated milk, and one quart of drained pressure-canned butternut squash instead of the pumpkin. I added another egg, too - because my chickens keep laying whether I want them to or not. The pie tastes even better if you make it a day ahead and put it in the fridge overnight.

![Self-Published Authors - Has Your Book Been Stolen? [Pirated Books On Amazon]
Yes, its true - there are a lot of pirated books on Amazon.com. The copyright infringement form can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement
The form asks if you bought the stolen work to make sure its a pirated work, and I did that the first time. But since then I just say I didnt buy it, because you can tell that its stolen content by using their search inside the book feature.
And they do take the stolen books off their site within a few days of receiving the form. Unfortunately, the bad guys will just put it back on Amazon in a week or two, so you have to keep checking, and filling out the form.
