Gee Marcia.....so would it be fair to say you like pumpkins?
Agree. Wholeheartedly as Betty could tell you! I love pumpkins.
Those wonderful orange globes all over the place in fall. I love carving them and sticking my head inside and smelling them (okay I'm weird, but it is a smell that has always reminded me of Halloween, and October, and fall, and tricks or treats, and so on. I love seeing them in stores, and piled up, and on doorsteps and in windows.
Have you ever had pumpkin soup in a pumpkin used as a soup tureen? How about baked with cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar and butter?
