Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to tsuki_no_bara!!! I hope you have a wonderful day, honey. :-D

Pumpkin pie

If I bake a pumpkin pie today, that's okay, right? As opposed to waiting and baking it tomorrow morning.

Should it be refrigerated after it's done, until tomorrow?

Is there anything magical about Orajel (for tooth and gum pain) that makes it only for teeth and gums, or can I use it to numb pain on my thumb? I've got a really deep split (dry skin) at the tip of my thumb where a band-aid won't stay and it HURTS constantly. Last night I couldn't sleep because it hurt. I've been slathering tons of moisturizer type stuff on it, but what with washing bowls and pans etc in preparation for Thanksgiving and all the handwashing that accompanies cooking, it's just getting worse instead of better. (This isn't a new problem for me during the winter time, this particular split is just in an extra inconvenient/painful spot.) So anyway, can I put Orajel on it?
