me too :D:D YUM! I make it with skim milk, always have. I think it comes out fine. Husband wont go near any pie except apple and sometimes cherry but he loves cheesecake!
Never tried but willing. :)
Nope :eek::eek::mad:
Oh and seasoning in any other crap out there, no. NOPE, nadda, aint gonna
In FL, we don’t really have seasons. So I like Caribbean Jerk Seasoning year round! 
I’d bet that if your wife wanted to make them for a shared meal (just once a year!), you’d be willing to take one for the team. That’s pretty much how we’re operating here.
Oh, I’d be the one making them. I’m the cook around here. And I’d have fun making them, and I’m sure the kids and wife would love them. But I just don’t really enjoy pancakes, for as often as I make them (which is at least once a week these days.) I just eat something else. If you served them to me, of course I’d eat them. I don’t turn down food.
Now, if you want the pumpkin itself, my mom makes a wonderful black bean-pumpkin soup. Though of course she uses completely different spices than you’d use for a pie.
Ooo…that sounds really good. I’ve done pumpkin soup many times, but not with black beans. I like the idea!
speaking of egg nog wal mart is selling egg nog …
As a kid, our neighbors that had Xmas parties and served nog of egg had just the shittiest taste in whiskey. Really rank booze. This will get me ranked out, but grocery stores sell Jim Beam Egg Nog for the holidays; it’s supposedly formulated to blend with JB–it’s not bad at all. Nutmeg is optional. There’s a spiced version, too, not as impressive. Only problem: I’ve only seen it in quarts and it’s pricey. Deck those halls!
I used to brew a special “Chocolate-Raspberry Stout” for the holiday season, but there ain’t no more holiday 'round these parts and nobody to drink it with me, so, FUCK IT!
You’re in the clear, burpo. I whispered this in her ear last night, and she didn’t seem to mind at all! 
Kinda-sorda. I’m that weirdo who really craves watermelon in February and eggnog in June. My favorite use for pumpkin though was this ethereal hash I made about a decade ago with chicken and peanuts and Moroccan spices. I have never quite been able to duplicate it. 
Did y’all know that most canned pumpkin isn’t actually pumpkin? It’s some other squash, probably butternut. The best squash is acorn, though. Chop em in half, rub with aromatic spices and butter, and fill the cavity with pineapple puree and bake for an hour. Mmmm.
I do like making pumpkin pie or pumpkin roll (y’know, with the cream cheese filling) from scratch…I mean, from the stuff we dig out of jack o lanterns. It’s a pain and not the best stuff for the job, but I find something soothing and Zen-like about the process.
Pumpkin.
I don’t care for pumpkin spice (like Pecan Sandies, the very name is unappetising), but it’s more appealing to me than salted caramel, which is just plain disgusting, both in name and flavor.
The way she snores? You did no such thing. Bullhorn, maybe. 
I love me some nog, too, but I take mine straight. I have a chocolate eggnog recipe that rocks … I should make that this year.
Well, I thought that was her ear!
Please share the recipe. I do love egg nog.
Chocolate Egg Nog
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate milk
• 5 eggs
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1/2 cup Kahlua or strong coffee
• 1/2 cup dark rum (optional)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Combine milk and chocolate milk in a saucepan and scald (do not boil). In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until thick. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg mixture and mix through. Then stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk, and place over low heat.
Add whipping cream and Kahlua or coffee. Cook and stir until mixture thickens. Do not boil. Remove from heat and add rum (if using) and cinnamon. Let cool and refrigerate until chilled. Serve with a sprinkling of grated chocolate and nutmeg.
the cans I buy say pumpkin is the ingredient…are they lying?
“Pumpkin” isn’t actually as narrowly defined as most Americans think. If the label says pumpkin, then it contains pumpkin, but it probably isn’t the big orange pumpkin that you carve into Jack-o-lanterns, and may well be butternut pumpkin, AKA butternut squash.
Here’s the dope. It can be made from a variety of winter squashes. “Pumpkin” is not that rigidly defines by the FDA. Libby’s, for example, uses its own variant of Dickinson squash in their pumpkin purée.
I should also add that Dickinson squash is also known as Dickinson pumpkin. It’s rather a hazy line between pumpkin and just any ordinary winter squash. I personally use butternut squash in my pumpkin pie if I’m making it from scratch.
