crazychicknladyI was a little behind on the acquisition of pumpkins this year for Halloween. As a result, I ended up with a couple of baking pumpkins instead of proper carving ones. We got even busier than normal and those self same pumpkins avoided their intended fate and ended up living on our kitchen table for nearly a month.
Their innocent, unused status, may have remained constant had S not suddenly decided she wanted to make a pie for Thanksgiving.
She looked it up on Youtube. She got confused enough by what she saw to ask her Dad if he knew how to make a pumpkin pie. He did not, but he shared with her his favorite baking cookbook. The cookbook that not only told her how to make the pie, but how to cook the pumpkin.
So last night, S made a pie.
This is now a tradition.
Bonus points, C finally got the baked pumpkin seeds he's been wanting since I first brought up the concept of pumpkin carving a month ago. It's impressive just how many seeds were crammed in that little bitty pumpkin.
