That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

That is supposed to be the real Martha in that photo. She is famous for her straw hats, by the way.

Just like me. I always wear white pants and white gloves when gardening. Leaning into that wheel barrow would not leave a mark.

My work gloves are pink.

Happy Thanksgiving!



This was the year the Great Pumpkin visited my house. I think this is approximately how much I've had.



I didn't eat it out of a bucket. Crustless pumpkin pie made with Splenda and skimmed milk. Looks like this, only loaded with sugar free Cool Whip.

(Did I mention I love pumpkin pie???)

Wish I'd have known and sent you the two huge pumpkins I brought home from my garden. Together they would not fit on my kitchen table IF I could lift them. Had to bring them onto my porch with a hand truck and now they are frozen . The shipping cost would have been too much to send to you though. I better push them off the porch and down the hill for the deer before the snow.
Where's my ax?

In reading the recipe, it seems they made a kind of custard for the filling:

"According to some accounts, early English settlers in North America improvised by hollowing out pumpkins (which were plentiful), filling the shells with goat's milk, honey, and spices to make a custard, then they roasted the filled pumpkins whole in hot ash from the fire.
It is thought that after the custard had set/chilled, the pumpkin was then cut into wedges to enjoy, as food was not wasted"
