That sounds yummy.

I'm gonna make a pumpkin pie, will google some recipes.

Last time I was in MO, we went to Pizza by Stout (I think?) and Oh.my.god is was fanfuckentastic!!

They had this weird dessert, which was like Maple Syrup pudding or Golden Syrup Bread Pudding and I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

I like crazy American food.

Took some kids & adults to a local pumpkin patch on Saturday, beautiful weather and lots of sunshine.

If you can see where the "corn stalks" are with the little building in the center - that is their "corn maze" in the evening it becomes the "haunted corn maze"

Punkin'Burger?

Here's something else we do with pumkins.

Great pumkin sandwhich Charlie Brown!

Pretty pictures jester - do you have any "after"s yet?

I am so much a product of this country.
Looking at Jester's pics my first reaction was, "Ha! Look at those pumpkins just lying around in a field, how funny!"

I don't think we grow pumpkins here - or if we do I have never seen them growing. I don't know what I expected!

SG, pumpkins grow on trees. In America, the custom, after the Pupmkins have been harvested from the pumpkin orchard, is to then put them in a cleared field for people to have 'pumpkin hunts' on. it's deemed too dangerous for anyone other than professionals with the proper equipment to pick them from the trees. they're so heavy, and it's so easy to hurt your back doing it. sadly, another product of our litigous society. I used to love pumpkin picking when i was a lad.

Thanks LJ, now I won't make a fool of myself next time I have a pumpkin-centric conversation!

well....the important thing about pumpkin-centric conversations is that you are very adamant and firm about what you say. pumpkin people can sense weakness. so no matter what they say to try and trip you up.....just push on full steam.

Don't really have any "after's", I'm assuming you mean for display. The kids pretty much picked a pumpkin for their own home. It was just a day to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine.

lj is full of punkn' seeds.
