Pumpkin season

It's been pumpkin season for a while, but October is notorious for Jack o Laterns and now Pumpkin Ale. Mer tells me that Troy Pub will soon be putting up a Pumpkin ale and I need to put money aside for bringing home a growler or two of my nectar of the gods.

Pat gave me a link to Wil Wheaton's site about why he loves October with the exception of the Halloween Haunt and the Autumn in LA (who the fuck cares about LA anyway... crazy bling loving weirdos) I agree with him on all of those.

Up until this year I haven't fully acknowledge the glorious wonder that is Pumpkin - sure there is the carving the pumpkin, the pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin pie but there's more. There's pumpkin butter, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin ale, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin pancakes. If anyone else can give me recipes or thoughts of what else to do with edible pumpkins e-mail me.

I'm currently spending my friday afternoon at work, queen of both departments. Through various projects, events, calamities, I'm here with the purpose of sitting by the phone peeling stickers off 50 used 3.5" floppies - which explains the amount of time I have thinking about pumpkins.

Adventurous me tried a new lunch, Lean Cuisine's Roasted Vegetable Pizza and I highly recommend it if you want pizza but don't want to feel guilty about it.

I make a mean veggie pizza homemade using that mastriani's brothers fat-free pizza dough. Ask GG. We like it better than any fat-food restaurant! :)

Am bringing pumpkin cheesecake recipe with me tonight pour vous. Is yummilicious.

Another fun thing to do is get some plastic sheeting and spread it over the coffee table, and let the kids slosh their little Halloween hearts out! they had a blast gutting those pumpkins and making a huge mess last year. And all we had to do was pull up the four corners and throw it away!
