No pumpkin pie where you live, Grateful?!? That is tragic! Pumpkin pie is wonderful - so are pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread/loaf, pumpkin muffins.
We had Thanksgiving dinner last night and it was wonderful. My mom really outdid herself. She made a new recipe this year, a leek and gruyere casserole, and the usual favorites, including a mashed sweet potato dish topped with nuts, stuffing, turkey, gravy, roasted carrots and of course, brussels sprouts. Pumpkin pie and spiced pumpkin/pecan cake for dessert. We are dieting next week!
