Last Thanksgiving it was devilishly hard to find cans of plain old packed pumpkin, but I persevered and was able to snag a couple. Thanksgiving is just not right without pumpkin pie. After a bit of research I found out that the pumpkin crop was wretched in 2009 resulting in a shortfall in the supermarkets.
So I was out and about today searching for the elusive can of packed pumpkin. Nate's class is celebrating pie day on Friday and I offered to make a pie, namely a pumpkin pie.
Well it looks like there is still a massive pumpkin shortage. I've been to three stores and have had no luck so far. I'm willing to try any and all brands as long as I can get a pie out of it. So it looks like I'm going to have to go to plan B: apple pie.
Mmmm, apple pie!

Butternut squash that has been baked and then mashed makes a very good pumpkin substitute. Sweet potato can also make a very good pie that is no unlike pumpkin.
Although, I don't think anyone can complain about an apple pie either.
Those all sound good, maybe next time. The apple pie did make was a big hit.
