Pumpkin Time!

I love this time of year! The weather is starting to get colder, the leaves are changing and instead of spending our Sunday afternoons playing frisbee in the front yard, we curl up in our living room with a cup of tea and perhaps a good book. The event that inspires the intense happiness that this time of year brings me, is when I first spot Pumpkins at the grocery store. I don't really know why, but I cannot contain my joy when I spot the pile of huge round orange squashes piled near the front of the store, each one a different size. So, for the last week, pumpkin fever has settled into my house. My husband laughs at my addiction to bringing home at least one pumpkin every time I visit the grocery store. So far, I have made a delicious pumpkin-yeast bread, and pumpkin bars while the other two pumpkins sit on my counter awaiting their fate...pumpkin soup, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin spice cake...yum!
