No, I'm pretty sure I could make a decent pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin, and I probably will. I usually make Thai pumpkin soup or pumpkin curry, but I'll try a pie this year. I think Boy just really wants the kind he's used to having, which isn't going to happen. I'll just have to make the best approximation of pumkin puree I can muster. Recipes would be much appreciated.
Nice acronym, Mom!

My Aunt switched to fresh pumpkin for her pies. She insists its not that much work and they do taste sooooooooooo much better.

For all my non-cooking-ness, I have made pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin and it was absolutely delish.
If I can do it...ANYONE can do it.

but he said that I really need tins of pumpkin puree to make it properly. Alas, such a thing does not exist over here.
when I lived in england, one of our friends' dads was coming to visit and we had him bring pumpkin in his luggage so that we could make pumpkin pie at thanksgiving.

I once brought a friend in Austria cream of mushroom soup so she could make her family tuna casserole like she'd had in America.

And DJ, I got the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue yesterday. They have an animatronic Elvis bust - sings, moves, etc.
An Elvis Costello bust? I've never seen such a thing!
ETA: Alas, it seems the bust is of the other Elvis.

Mostly lurking...
Whenever my brother comes to MA, he brings the family's secret Swedish meatball sauce. My parents found it by accident at this Chicago-area store when they were passing out samples. Dad swore it tasted EXACTLY like what his mother used to make, and he had never been able to get it just right. So, now the "secret family sauce" is from a can.
Shhhhh...don't tell anyone!

I spent 1 hr. 20 min. in traffic this morning. And my house smells like campfires in a spooky way. Work, though? Barely anything. Got to love those Pacific breezes over here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Feeling any better, Kristin?
