  • I've had pumpkin bread, but nothing beats pumpkin pie. It's one of the greatest desserts there is.

    It is pretty good, isn't it?  I like almost anything with that custard texture.

    I think you do.   I love cheesecake and I heard that one is amazing.

    It's a Paula Dean recipe if you want to try it.

    Any that doesn't involve me having to peel the pumpkin first. They're NASTY to peel.

    (Yes, I know . . . bake them in the oven and then scoop out the flesh.)

    Salt, that is TRUE homemade Pumpkin Pie.  I have never gone that route.

    My grandparents went that route once, once. (I helped peel the pumpkins using a spoke shaver, a tool normally used for making wagon wheel spokes, didn't think about baking the pumpkins and scooping out the flesh at the time). And to be honest, the pumpkin (she mad a few pies and canned the rest for later use) might have been a tad better because of the elbow grease that was mixed in, but not by enough to justify doing that all over again. Making a pie with Libby's canned pumpkin (not their pumpkin pie filling) is just as good.

  • Classic pumpkin pie.

    I've deviated from the norm, and instead of pumpkin pie I made some sweet potato fudge a couple of days ago.  I gotta say, it's pretty f'n righteous.

    I made pumpkin fudge a few weeks ago.  The flavor was great, but the texture was too soft.  Too much pumpkin added.

  • I'm just getting into this fudge thing.  Sweet Potato is good (wanted something other than chocolate.)  I put it on a vanilla wafer crust, and I topped it with marshmallows and gave them a little burn.
