Punting on the pumpkin...

[eve11]

Well, I had purchased a pumpkin for carving, but I didn't have time to carve anything. So today I turned it into pumpking puree. 8 cups of pumpkin puree! That's like four pumpkin pies! Well, I'm currently cooking two pumpkin pies. Let's see how they turn out: I've never made pumpkin puree from scratch before; I hope it comes out okay.

And it certainly doesn't matter if you put a pint of Cool Whip on top!

Mmmm...Cool Whip...

mmm... cool whip. Can you get that in China? I wonder if the Chinese would like pumpkin pie. So far the response of many of the international students at the statistics department has been, "pie made of what?"

Neither pumpkin pie nor Cool Whip over here. I learned how to make home-made whipped cream (heavy cream + lots o' sugar + fork) early on. No oven, so no pie for me, though. :(

Oh, I am going to meet a friend at a coffee shop that serves pumpkin pancakes on Wednesday. So pumpkin can be had. Just not in pie form. I'll let you know how it is.

My friend makes an awesome no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie with whipped cream on the top... I'll ask him about the recipe for you :)
