I really don’t know what happened to Bat and me in our childhoods, we both didn’t like pumpkin pie until we were in our early forties. Can you believe it – never liked pumpkin anything? We didn’t start eating greens until our thirties and just recently started really liking sweet potatoes. I don’t know if we had this weird thing going on, that if it was red, orange or green, we wouldn’t eat it, or what.

So, over the years, I grew pumpkins, but they were only to carve and make the girls’ Halloween pumpkins. We’ve given them away, and a few times we did fundraisers for church and sold them. But now that we’ve decided we like pumpkin pie, I had a problem.

How do you get that flesh out?

A lot of you, I know, probably already now how to do this, and are kind of giggling to yourself, but I was in the dark. I couldn’t ask Mom, she had always used canned pumpkin. So, I sat down and looked it up online. Thank goodness for the Internet, or I’m really sure I wouldn’t have made it. I read many posts and watched a very interesting video. By the time I got done I thought, jeez, I should have done this long ago.

So here it goes, it’s about the easiest thing ever.
