Who wants Pumpkin Pie?

Never have understood why I go to this much trouble. I LOVE to make pumpkin Pie from scratch. I have to make them, it is a mission every year. Then I eat one piece. And Shannon does not 'do' pumpkin (she is a Key Lime Gal) so I have to figure out...what to do with pies. Ah! That's right! Coworkers! I do one thing that is ofter different, I will make a couple regular....and then I make my personal favorite. A savory one. Simple, leave out the evaporated milk!

This is my recipe (easier than reposting!) RKayne's Pumpkin Pie

I have to admit I am rather proud of it.

My other thing is I love to CARVE pumpkins. Every year, no matter where I am, must carve pumpkins. The ones in the pics I took in the recipe are from last year. This weekend I will be hitting the Farmers Market and getting a couple to carve. I can't wait! I am going for a big, heavy one...I want seeds.

And there is the OTHER thing I must have. Fresh Pumpkin Seeds. (My Recipe Here)

They are so wonderful...crispy fresh hot and tossed with any dang flavor you can think of. Something so yummy, and good for you too!

Parsley or chives...hmm

Oh, how I wish you could tell what they were when they first sprout...bet I am not alone in the fact that for some reason I get so busy with seeds, transplanting and whatnot that I sometimes don't think, HEY, I put these in the same container. Hm, they are in rows, but which side was which? Well, shall be a few before I know which side is Parsley and which side is Garlic chives! I didn't even worry about the basil's either and they will take even LONGER to tell which is Provencal and which is Globe, haha.....think I would learn? Hell no, bet I do it NEXT year too!
